LONDON - Hugh Grant (news) says he's lost interest in acting and is heading into retirement. Grant, who plays heartthrob Daniel Cleaver in "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," was quoted Thursday by the Evening Standard's Metro magazine as saying film acting is a "miserable experience."
"It's so long and boring and so difficult to get right," Grant said.
"I am sort of semiretired," he said. "I keep thinking I'm going to write a brilliant script."
Grant, whose screen credits include "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Notting Hill" and the first "Bridget Jones" movie, gained international notoriety when he was caught in a car with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown in 1995.
The 44-year-old actor, who took his new girlfriend, heiress Jemima Khan, to this week's London premiere of "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," told the magazine he didn't feel pressure to settle down.

It's like KISS or Cher, they're always on their "retirement tour" but they always come back for more.

I'd like for him to write a script, I remember Richard Curtis once said that he's be good at it - and since I love Richard Curtis I'll take his word for it
