Bob Hoskins has ruled out starring in a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

The British actor, who played private investigator Eddie Valiant in the 1989 partially-animated movie, insists he is too old to return to the franchise.

The 66-year-old star said: “The thing is, you act with cartoons, you got to be able to bounce off the walls like a cartoon. So I’m too old. I’m too old now.”

Despite his reservations, Bob insists a sequel is not totally out of the question. Speaking about director Robert Zemeckis, who recently claimed to have been in discussion with Bob about the proposed new film, the actor added to MTV: “I think he could do a sequel. He wouldn’t be able to do it with me. I’m too old!”
