John Hurt has ruled out the possibility of starring in a soap.
The veteran actor said he will not be following in the footsteps of British screen legends such as Sir Ian McKellen by joining the cast of Coronation Street or EastEnders.
"Simon Callow wants to be in Sex And The City and Derek Jacobi wants to be in Coronation Street," he said.
"I can't understand it. I have no plans like that and doubt I ever will."
Hurt can currently be heard as the voice of The Great Dragon in BBC fantasy drama Merlin.
