Hollywood star Mel Gibson, who has produced many of his own films including 'Braveheart', has said he will not finance his films anymore.
The 58-year-old actor feels he is out of the business of financing his own movies, said The Hollywood Reporter.
"I'm out of that business of financing my own films because they see you coming and take you for a ride. I'm not a fool.
"It's difficult for the things I deem worthy to direct, where you can get a really good compelling story out of, nobody else has much faith in it and never did," he said.
The superstar is currently gearing up for his next release 'The Expendables III'.
