Liz Hurley quits movies for son

Liz Hurley has retired from making movies to spend more time with her son Damian.

The actress last appeared on the big screen in 2004's Method and she has no current plans to return to films.

She is quoted as saying: "Filming is very hard with a child, and I found I wasn't able to be a good mum and do movies.

"I really do very little film work at all. I decided I couldn't really do movies anymore, which was a huge decision because I love making movies.

"But I didn't want to be the sort of mother who was abroad filming all the time and away from my son and I didn't want to take Damian out of school to travel with me and be educated by tutors."

Hurley appeared in leading film roles in 1998's Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and 2000's Bedazzled.
