Jude Law plans to end his acting career on the stage

The 'Holiday' star returned to tread the boards as Henry V in Michael Grandage's season at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2013, and while he has no plans to do a play in the near future, he wants to bow out on stage.

The 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' star explained that he is busy with his lucrative production company, Riff Raff Entertainment, which is behind the upcoming Netflix series 'Black Rabbit', in which he also plays the role of Jake Friedken.

Appearing on Deadline's 'The Actor's Side' series, he said of a theatre return: "I certainly will go back.

"There's a momentum it feels with what I am doing on film.

"We talked about my company, and that feels like it's finding it's place and it's voice and a lot of the stuff that we put into development is coming through.

"I don't know that I am going to do a play anytime soon; it's where I started, it's in many ways my first love.

"I can see myself probably ending there as well one day. There are lots of roles I want to play."

Asked which ones, he replied: "Well, I played Hamlet and Henry VI. Somebody said to me once, 'To get to Lear, you have to play Hamlet, Henry, Benedict, the Scottish King, and then you are able to play Lear.' And Lear, I've got years, but those are just a few I'd like to tackle one day."
