Terrence Howard says he’s “done” with acting.

The 50-year old “Empire” star revealed the shocking news during a sit-down interview with Extra‘s correspondent Miss USA Cheslie Kryst.

“I’m done with acting. I’m done pretending,” he told Chelsie after being asked about his plans following the end of Empire.

Terrance’s announcement comes just a few months after he was reportedly being investigated for criminal tax evasion.

The Blast reported in April that the actor was hit with a tax lien for $143,538.61 by the State of California Franchise Tax Board. According to the outlet, the lien stems from taxes Howard reportedly owes from 2010.

Terrence was also hit with tax liens from the federal government back in 2010 for $1.1 million and in 2006 for over $600,000, The Blast reported.

The case is reportedly being handled by the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and is ongoing.

“Empire” will be returning to FOX on September 24 for their final season. Will you be watching?
