Steve Martin, 76, revealed in a new interview that he may retire from acting after a legendary showbiz career stretching back to the 1960s.

He currently stars on the Hulu sitcom Only Murders In The Building alongside Martin Short and Selena Gomez, but he will not pursue more roles after the series ends.

'When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others. I’m not going to seek other movies,' he told The Hollywood Reporter in a new profile. 'I don’t want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it.'

Outside of acting, his upcoming projects include his 12th book, a documentary and more tour dates as a double-act with Martin Short.

Short and Martin have been friends for more than 35 years and have repeatedly worked together for decades dating back to the 1986 movie Three Amigos.

Martin has now shared that he and Short 'were very happy just doing the live show' before Only Murders In The Building ignited their career renaissance.

He said of their tour dates: 'There may be a natural end to that - somebody gets sick, somebody just wears out - but I wouldn’t do it without Marty.'

When they take their show on the road together, they avoid political jokes, a decision Martin explained: 'Marty doesn’t mind a "boo," but I do, so we intentionally minimize any political context. We want to lay down arms for a night.'

Although he skyrocketed to superstardom as a comedian and then embarked on a long and successful career as a movie star, neither job appeals to him now. 

'Go into theaters with a comedy movie starring me? It’s got failure written all over it!' he said of the prospect of doing another film.

The legendary comedian and his wife Anne Stringfield, whom he married in 2007, divide their time between New York City and Santa Barbara.
