Hurley quits movies for son
09/03/2008 - 10:16:26

Elizabeth Hurley has quit making movies to spend more time at home with her son Damian.

The model-turned-actress hasn't taken a role in a film since 2004's Method - but only because she's too busy being a full-time mum to the five-year-old.

She says: "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 any more, 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."
