France's best known cinematic export, Gerard Depardieu, is saying au revoir to showbiz.

The Oscar-nominated thespian told the French newspaper Le Parisien Dimanche that he plans on putting an end to his prolific film career, which totals nearly 200 credits.

"I'm in the process of stopping filming," he said in Sunday's edition. "I'm a guy who's leaving! A guy who's not drunk. For once." The seemingly sober Depardieu spoke with the weekly paper from the set of his next--and apparently, last--film, Michou d'Auber. "I have nothing to lose," the 56-year-old actor said. "I have done 170 films. I have nothing left to prove. I am not going to hang on like a jerk."
