BETTANY QUIT SMOKING BECAUSE OF SON

A BEAUTIFUL MIND star PAUL BETTANY was shocked into quitting smoking after seeing his son, STELLAN, mimicking his bad behaviour.

The English actor, married to stunning actress JENNIFER CONNELLY, was previously a heavy smoker and kicked his bad habit over a year ago.

He recalls, "I was standing outside (the house) during one of those cold New York winters (puffing away).

"I saw my son looking at me with a pen (in his mouth mimicking smoking) and I went, 'Um, no, I'm not going to do that (continue smoking)."
