RAY WINSTONE - WINSTONE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM MOVIES

British actor RAY WINSTONE is to take a break from making films, because his heavy workload has left him exhausted. The 50-year-old has starred in variety of recent blockbusters including The Departed, Beowulf and the forthcoming Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - and his raised profile has led to a number of offers pouring in. But Winstone is determined to keep his work schedule clear for the foreseeable future - no matter how lucrative - so he can enjoy some well-earned time off. He says, "I just turned one down. It was a biggie, and good and all. But I thought, 'I've had enough for a while. I'm knackered. I need to recharge my batteries'."
