Actor Charlie Sheen has brushed off reports he's planning to retire from acting, insisting the idea would "be a mistake".
Sheen, the star of hit U.S. sitcom Two and a Half Men, was rumoured to be quitting acting amid extended financial negotiations with his TV bosses.
He explains, "There's been some talk about that (retiring). People thought I was depressed because of the contract negotiations or whatever."
And though Sheen admits he thought early on he would be finished with acting before he was middle-aged, he insists there's no truth to the rumblings.
He adds, "I had a fantasy when I was a lot younger of retiring at 40, then I ended up on this hit show everybody seems to love. So retiring right now might be a bit of a mistake."
