Jim Carrey is' retiring' from acting! 'I like the quiet life... I have done enough'

Jim Carrey - the star to lead some of Hollywoods most iconic films, such as The Truman Show, Why The Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Mask - said he's "retiring" from acting.

The actor, who recently said he was "sickened" by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, has now revealed his future acting plans and insists he's "fairly serious".

The 60-year-old told Access Hollywood that he's "probably" going to retire, saying: "Well, I am retiring, I am being fairly serious."

If asked whether he would come back to the entertainment world, the actor answered: "It depends – if the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink, that says to me that it's going to be really important for people to see, I might. I might continue down the road, but I'm taking a break."

Jim added: "I really like my quiet life, and I really love putting paint on canvas, and I really love my spiritual life, and I feel like – and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists – I have enough. I've done enough. I am enough."
