Paul Walker didn't think he was "capable" of relaxing.

The 'Fast and Furious' star was left horrified when his doctor ordered him to take a break from work a few years ago.

He said: "I'm still learning how to relax. And a while ago I started to feel run down. My doctor pointed out I was running on empty. He said that when you're young it's not really an issue, but one of these days you're going to get older, and you'll crash. He said, 'You're going to have to learn to take strolls on the beach to relax.' I didn't think I was capable."

Things don't faze me as much as they used to. Fatherhood has made me grow up a lot.

However, the 35-year-old star - who has a 10-year-old daughter Meadow - says fatherhood has helped him to calm down.

Paul added to Men's Health magazine: "Sure enough, I'm starting to mellow with age. As I've gotten older I've noticed I can carry a bit more weight - I would have felt really sluggish running around at 190lb when I was younger.
