Newman: 'I may not retire'

Ageing movie legend Paul Newman has hinted he may not retire from acting after all, because his busy life keeps him happy.

The 80-year-old silver screen idol-turned-racing driver-turned-salad dressing entrepreneur last month announced his plans to quit after one final leading role - thought to be a collaboration with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid co-star Robert Redford in an adaptation of Bill Bryson novel A Walk in the Woods.

Speaking of both his acting and racing driving careers, he said at the time: "I think both are winding down. I'll probably race for another year," adding he'd take on one final project "for good luck".
