John Cleese has clarified remarks that he made about retiring from film acting.
Earlier this week it was reported that Cleese was set to retire from acting and was looking forward to death.
However, Cleese has revealed that he may be starring in a movie next year, and will consider roles should he be offered work.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor said: "Sometimes you read these things and you say, 'I don't remember saying that.
"What I would say is, when you get to my age, the number of parts that you get offered is very, very small.
They're not looking for 75-year-old comedians most of the time.
"I have been offered a large part in a movie which, if they get the finance together, will happen in the spring.
"But that doesn't happen a lot. What I did say is that I don't enjoy movies very much.
"Terry Gilliam, who has nothing better to do with his life, loves to have movies because it structures him and gives him a purpose, which otherwise he lacks. I don't like the way that they take your life over."
Over the last couple of years Cleese has lent his voice to Mini Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Planes and will do so once more with Absolutely Anything.
Absolutely Anything will see Cleese team up with director Terry Jones, while Kate Beckinsale, Robin Williams and Simon Pegg are also on board.
Absolutely Anything is set for a 13th February 2015 release.
