Lost star Matthew Fox has revealed that he is looking forward to leaving Hawaii when the show ends.
The actor said his Oahu home was no longer the idyllic location it initially appeared and he will not be staying when filming wraps.
He said: "I've been living in Hawaii for three and a half years now and it's not really paradise anymore. Throwing snowballs on a mountain top is now my idea of paradise. I enjoy getting off the island.
"It's a beautiful place and my kids are happy there and it's been a good place for us to be for the past three years... but it's not a place we're gonna stay after Lost is finished."
However, he insisted that he was glad to be able to avoid photographers who are active on the Hollywood scene, saying: "I didn't get the whole paparazzi thing in my daily life and photographs of my kids. If it happened it would be very rare.
"There's not a lot of paparazzi who want to do the 2,500 mile trek into the South Pacific to get a picture of me walking on the beach. I think if I was living in Los Angeles it would be more difficult for me."
Co-star Evangeline Lilly has said she was happy to escape the island during the writers' strike because she suffered constant allergies on set.
