Sheen: 'I won't play Tony Blair anymore'

Rex Features

Michael Sheen has announced that he won't play Tony Blair in any more movies.

Sheen has just finished working on The Special Relationship, the third film in which he takes the role of the former prime minister.

However, it is the last time he will do so, The Daily Telegraph reports.

"Goodbye Mr Blair," Sheen wrote on Twitter. "After three films, think I'm hanging up my Blair boots. If so, last word I ever said as Blair was 'America'. The irony..."

Sheen previously starred as Blair in The Deal and The Queen.

It had been rumoured that the actor would play him for a fourth time in a sequel to The Deal.
