ONLY Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst has been forced to deny he's retired after his son's tragic death. A pal claimed the comedy legend, 60, has taken a step back from acting after son Archie was killed by a brain haemorrhage aged just 19 in 2020 - but his rep insisted he was still getting offers and will continue to work.
His son Archie suffered a brain haemorrhage aged just 19 in 2020. Longtime friend and writer Laurence Marks said the actor - who shot to fame as Rodney Trotter in Only Fools - was unlikely to ever return to the spotlight.
He said: “Nicholas underwent tragedy. "It must have broken his heart. It would break anyone’s heart. “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. "I doubt we will see him do any more acting." @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff').
