 The 'Notting Hill' actor, who has joked about the idea of retiring in the past also, said that he wants to step away from the arc light for good, Entertainment Weekly reported.

"I like everything about filming except the acting. I'm wonderful in rehearsals, but I've never been very good when they actually switch the cameras on," the 48-year-old actor said.

"In recent years, I've had really bad attacks, where I totally freeze up. I thought, 'Well, if I'm going to get stage fright, then I'm packing it in. "I feel foolish having said so often, 'Oh, I don't want to do any more (films).' And then I always do," Grant added.
