"Hot Fuzz" star Simon Pegg has revealed he considered quitting acting after appearing in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

The 46-year-old writer fulfilled a life-long dream of featuring in a "Star Wars" movie and has revealed that the dramatic moment caused him to rethink his career path, reported Contactmusic.

"I had a bit of a crisis of confidence afterwards. I hadn't had the chance to take stock, and I came home to the UK and I was pretty sure I wanted to quit acting," he said.

"I called my agent and I said - this is an absolutely true story, and ridiculous if a little name-droppy - but I said: 'Look, I want to take some time off and think about what I want to do next," he added.
