Slater quits theatre for movies

Actor Christian Slater has ruled out returning to London's West End - because he likes going on holiday too much to commit to a long theatre run.

The star has previously appeared in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' in 2004 and more recently in an adaptation of 1994 film 'Swimming With Sharks' in the UK's capital.

But he is adamant that was his last stint in a theatre role and he will stick to movies from now on.

He tells British newspaper The Independent: "I love it but I'm not coming back. I'm only doing films now. Vacation and films."
