Ananova:

Matt Damon says he's scared he'll never find love in the public eye.

"I think that too many relationships have been destroyed by the press," he told TV Movie magazine.

"I prefer to keep my private life out of the public eye."

But the actor says he also has a second reason for avoiding too much attention.

"I don't want people to find out too much about my bad habits," he said.

And he admits his main reason is not wanting to be photographed while smoking.

"Cigarettes are a bad thing," he said. "I've tried to give up a couple of times but had no success. It's very frustrating."
