MUMBAI: Sylvester Stallone wants to end his acting career and seriously concentrate on direction.

Divulging his intention, the 63-year-old actor said his new film The Expendables, in he plays a gang leader of veteran mercenaries on a deadly mission, could be his last as an actor. "I‘m on borrowed time. At this age I hear the ticking clock and it‘s as loud as the gong on Big Ben," he said.

"Rambo wants to remain a part of the acting world but only as a director. "The ultimate ambition is to follow in Clint Eastwood‘s footsteps and move on to directing films without me having to be in them", he said.
