If not in films I`d be a chef: Mel Gibson

London: Actor-director Mel Gibson says if not in movies he would be working as a chef.

The "Hacksaw Ridge" filmmaker said he is good with cooking and being a chef would have been the best alternative career for him, reported Female First.

"I'd be a chef. I can [cook]/ I like making a Malaysian soup called a Laksa. Of course you can't sit down the next day," Gibson said.

The 61-year-old star said he has a sweet tooth, but tries not to eat too much chocolate because it makes him "balloon out".

"Man I love chocolate but I can't do that, I'd balloon out."
