Matthew Fox wants to leave Hawaii. 

The Lost star, who moved his family to the Pacific island because the hit US TV show is filmed there, is planning to move to Oregon to be closer to his brothers once the series finishes.

He said: "I've been living in Hawaii for almost four years now, so it's not really paradise any more, man. Throwing snowballs on a mountain top is now paradise.

"We're moving to Oregon. I want to be closer to my brothers and their children. We really want our kids to have tight first-cousin relationships.

I want to enjoy fishing, hiking, skiing, mountains and fresh air."

In the show, Fox - who has two children, 10-year-old daughter Kyle and son Byron, seven, with his Italian wife Margherita Ronchi - plays Dr. Jack Shephard, an airplane crash survivor trying to find a way off the mysterious island he and his fellow survivors are trapped on.

Fox admits living in Hawaii does have its advantages as he is able to maintain his private lifestyle.

He added: "Hawaii has also been beneficial in that I really don't like the whole paparazzi thing in my daily life. There are not a lot of paparazzi who want to do the 2500-mile trek into the south Pacific for a shot of me walking on the beach."
