Samuel L Jackson is planning to retire from action films at the end of 2006 because he no longer thinks he'll be believable shaping up to 20-year-olds on the big screen.
The Pulp Fiction star will turn 58 in December and he thinks that'll be time to give up action roles.
He says: "I don't know how much longer I want to be running and jumping, chasing people and shooting at them.
"I don't want to be going hand-to-hand with some 20-year-old and have people say, 'He can't fight a 20-year-old. Homeboy's got about 20 seconds of real hard fightin' in him before he's out of breath and had to rest a minute.'"
