Nicholas Lyndhurst has denied that he is retiring following the tragic death of his son Archie.
The much-loved Only Fools and Horses star sadly lost his 19-year-old son to a brain haemorrhage in September 2020.
Despite taking a break from television since then, Nicholas has no plans to quit acting completely.
Is Nicholas Lyndhurst retiring?
According to Nicholas’ representative, the reports about his retirement are “ridiculous.”
They told Metro: “It is complete nonsense that Nicholas Lyndhurst is retired or retiring.
“Of course he and his wife are devastated by the sudden loss of their young son but Mr. Lyndhurst will continue his career with any parts and scripts that attract him.”
It is complete nonsense!
The rep added that Nicholas “continues to constantly receive offers.”
It comes after longtime friend and writer Laurence Marks claimed that the actor could quit.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: “He has always kept himself to himself and now he’ll do that more than ever. Now he’s lost his son, he’ll never come out again.
