Washington, Aug 15 : Hugh Grant has revealed that he is seriously thinking of giving up acting - because he freezes up on camera.

The actor has joked about retiring in past - but now he''s starting to think it''s best if he steps away from the camera.

"I like everything about filming except the acting. I''m wonderful in rehearsals, but I''ve never been very good when they actually switch the cameras on,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling Entertainment Weekly magazine.

"In recent years, I''ve had really bad attacks, where I totally freeze up. I thought, ''Well, if I''m going to get stage fright, then I''m packing it in,''" he added.

However, Grant also said that that he''ll have to either seriously quit acting or stop talking about quitting: "I feel foolish having said so often, ''Oh, I don''t want to do any more (films).'' And then I always do." (ANI)
