Liz Hurley has reportedly stated that she will be taking time off from her acting career so that she can spend more time with her son Damian.

Currently dating Arun Nayar, the actress has raised three-year-old Damian since she split from billionaire film producer Steve Bing.

The Sun quotes her as saying: "I don't want to leave my son for such long periods of time. A movie is three months and I've decided not to do that until he's older."

"As I turn 40, I see marriage very differently," she recently explained.

"Now, although it's never been something I've thought important before, I can see why it is important for people to declare their intentions, make vows, and make proper, above-board plans for everybody, because that clarifies and simplifies things quite a lot."
