Eastwood to quit acting for director's chair

Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood has hinted his forthcoming starring role in 'Gran Torino' will be his last-ever acting job.

Eastwood has cut back on his acting career in recent years to concentrate on directing; his last role was in 2005's 'Million Dollar Baby'.

And the 78-year-old believes Gran Torino, which he directs and stars as a Vietnam veteran, will be his last turn as an actor.

He told the 'Sunday World': "It'll (Gran Torino) probably be my last. I'll be drummed out of it after this one. Every time you do a movie you think, 'Aw, that's enough of that'.

"I always feel it's very comfortable to be behind the camera."
