'STAGE FRIGHT' MAKES GRANT CONSIDER RETIREMENT

HUGH GRANT is seriously considering turning his back on acting - because he freezes up on camera.

The Four Weddings & A Funeral star has toyed with the idea of retiring in the past and he has joked about it in interviews - but now he's starting to think it's best if he steps away from the camera for good.

He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "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.

"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.'"

But Grant accepts he'll have to seriously quit acting or stop talking about quitting: "I feel foolish having said so often, 'Oh, I don't want to do any more (films).' And then I always do."
