One of Hollywood's best-known stars, veteran actor Paul Newman, says he has given up acting at the age of 82.
Newman, a nine-time Oscar nominee who has starred in more than 50 films, claimed he was no longer able to perform to the best of his ability.
"I'm not able to work anymore... at the level that I would want to," the actor said in an interview on US television.
Newman's films include The Sting, Cool Hand Luke and The Color of Money, which earned him a best actor Oscar in 1987.
Newman announced his decision in an interview with US broadcaster ABC.
"You start to lose your memory, you start to lose your confidence, you start to lose your invention," he told ABC's Good Morning America.
"So I think that's pretty much a closed book for me."
