David Haye has been forced to put his movie career plans on hold to concentrate on getting back into shape.
The heavyweight boxer admitted he still dreams of becoming a big name in Hollywood one day but has had to put such aspirations on the back burner of late after requiring reconstructive surgery on his shoulder.
Speaking at the Hilton rooftop bar at London's Wembley to celebrate the transformation of the iconic arch at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I haven't had time for acting lessons, it's all been about getting my body back into condition.
"I've had a massive operation on my shoulder, reconstructive surgery, so it's taking a while trying to get that back into good working order.
"That's my priority, Hollywood can wait. That's without doubt still my dream. Boxing has a shelf life but you can go into acting at any age."
The 33-year-old fighter previously revealed he would love to star as a villain in a motion picture.
He said: "I'm looking into a move into action films once my boxing career comes to an end - hopefully voluntarily so it won't get ended by someone else.
"I want to be a baddie, to be honest. That would be my ultimate role so I can really get all 'eviled up' for it."

David Tennant doesn't see the point in holidays.
The 43-year-old actor doesn't enjoy going on vacation because he never knows what to do when he gets to his destination.
He said: "These days I don't really see the point of holidays. I never quite know what you're supposed to do."
The former 'Doctor Who' star has two children with his wife Georgia Moffett, as well as being step-father to Georgia's first child, and admitted that he reluctantly heads on the odd holiday to satisfy his kids.
He added to Radio Times: "It changes a bit when you've got kids but I'm very happy staying at home and pottering around. I'm away so much for work that when I've got time off I just want to stay in London."
However, the 'Broadchurch' actor hasn't always been so apathetic towards getaways, admitting that he has fond memories of holidaying on an island off the coast of Scotland as a youngster.
He joked: "It was everything you'd expect of a beach holiday in Scotland - freezing temperatures, getting stung by jellyfish and avoiding the sewage outlet as you tried to swim in the sea. If there was a glimpse of sun, there was an imperative to put your trunks on even if it was pretty miserable. But that's what childhood memories are all about isn't it? I loved it."

The 39-year-old singer is delighted the 23-year-old star has joined him, Sir Tom Jones and Ricky Wilson on the coaching panel of the BBC talent show and he can't wait to get started on his fourth series on the programme.

Sam Faiers and Joey Essex are still "very much still in love".
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star admitted she still has strong feelings for her former 24-year-old co-star despite a turbulent holiday in Marbella earlier this month when it was thought the on/off couple had split up.
Speaking to Yahoo! at the launch of new package delivery retailer, Doddle, the 23-year-old said: "Regardless of our argument in Spain and what's gone on, with us two we love each other.
"We are very much still in love and we plan our future together, we just have a bit of a rocky road sometimes, just like a lot of young people for us."
The couple first shacked up together four years ago, but have had an unsettled relationship during which they have been engaged but split up several times.
However, Sam says it was the pressure of the ITV2 reality show and the focus from the media which impacted on their relationship.
She explained: "Unfortunately for us it gets dramatised and bits get added in - me and Joey just sit together and read it and laugh about it sometimes."
Despite their troubles, Sam is optimistic about their future and enthused that the loved-up pair would love to move in and have children together.
Sam added: "I love babies and I love children, in the future I'd love to have a big family.
"But not yet though, Joey and I would like to live together first, we've never even lived together so the next step would be to live together and that would probably come along afterwards.
"Obviously we're both busy and working on our careers and chasing our dreams, but eventually we'd like to live with each other."
Sam and Joey were speaking at the launch of Doddle, a brand new collection and returns retailer that is opening a network of shops in and around train stations around the country.

David Haye thought 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' was too easy.
The heavyweight boxer is used to taking punches to the face for a living so insisted chowing down on a few maggots during the ITV reality show's infamous Bushtucker Trials "wasn't difficult" enough for him.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I did enjoy it, it was a good laugh. It wasn't very difficult. I get punched in the face for a living so eating maggots isn't going to bother me."
While David, 33, didn't find 'I'm A Celebrity' very tough, he thought three weeks based in the Australian jungle in 2012 was enough and doesn't expect he will star in any more reality TV shows in the future.
Speaking at the Hilton rooftop bar at London's Wembley to celebrate the transformation of the iconic arch at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, he added: "The celebrity jungle thing was my fill. Three weeks in there was long enough."
What's more, David was full of praise for fellow boxer Audley Harrison, who recently finished second in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
He said: "I didn't watch Audley in the house because I was out of the country. I missed all of it. I heard he came second and did really well when I got back.
"It's really good to see because he's a nice guy and since the Olympics he hasn't had chance to sit down and talk to people about something that isn't an upcoming fight or why he got beat in a fight.
"But now there was a chance for his true personality to come out. I've known him for many years and he's a cool guy, it's nice that the masses actually got to see that."

Lady Gaga feels overwhelmed by her nerves.
The 'Anything Goes' singer has admitted she often feels overcome with anxiety because her new music showcases her real voice, without the pop production of her previous records.
Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', she said: "I'm very overwhelmed, I have mornings when I'm not quite sure what to do with my nerves and I think it's also because people are hearing really my true voice for the first time so I feel very vulnerable."
The 28-year-old star released her fourth studio album 'Cheek to Cheek' this week, on which she has recorded a series of duets with the legendary jazz crooner, Tony Bennett.
Discussing her work with the 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' artist, she gushed: "I've been waiting for this moment and I was excited to be rebellious against my pop career."
The 'Do What U Want' hitmaker has been so moved by the experience of working with the 88-year-old legend that she decided to ink a trumpet tattoo onto her arm, representing the jazz sound of the pair's album.
Gaga explained: "I wanted to remember this moment forever ... I wanted this [tattoo] to be the biggest because for me this is the biggest moment in my life.
"I'm really grateful to [Tony] for personal things... I think I sing better on stage with Tony even than I do in the studio."

Professor Green says getting in a car with wife Millie Mackintosh is a "domestic waiting to happen".
The 30-year-old rapper is currently serving a 12-month driving ban after he was found to be over the legal alcohol limit in March, but he won't be getting the former 'Made In Chelsea' star to chauffeur him around.
Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, he said: "I don't like getting in a car with Millie. It's a domestic waiting to happen.
"She asks like, 'Can I overtake that?' She scares me. She's definitely got dyspraxia."
The musician tied the knot with his reality TV star wife last year and admits the ceremony reminded him of some of his private troubles, including the death of his father who committed suicide in 2008.
He explained: "It brought things back to the surface, which maybe I'd isolated rather than digesting and processing, like that my mum and dad weren't going to be there.
"My mum's with us but we don't talk. It's times like that when you miss people.
"But it was such a happy day. It highlighted the people who were there, not just the one who weren't."

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino let his brother handle all his finances.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star - who recently pleaded not guilty on two counts of filing false returns and one count of conspiracy - reportedly allowed Marc Sorrentino to take control of all his business dealings, such as negotiating deals, collecting cash and filing paperwork including tax documentations.
According to website TMZ, the 32-year-old TV personalty fully trusted his brother and didn't pay much attention to where his money was going.
A source told the gossip site that Mike never discussed financial matters with his accountants and hasn't even seen anyone from the accounting firm since the day he became a client.
However, the reality star is said to be in a dilemma as while he doesn't want to be convicted for a wrongdoing he doesn't feel he has committed, he doesn't want to make his brother - who has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit tax fraud - a scapegoat.
The siblings pleaded not guilty in court last week and were released on a $250,000 bond and will be arraigned on October 6.
It has been reported Mike and his brother allegedly conspired to fail to pay federal income tax owed on income that the former MTV star had earned for "promotional activities" between 2010 and 2012, during which time he earned $8.9 million, and said they claimed more than $5,104,000 in "false" or "inflated" business expenses, including luxury cars, high-end clothes and "personal grooming expenses."
Mike has also been accused of failing to file a tax return in 2011 after earning $1.99 million that year.

Amber Rose will reportedly receive more than $1 million following her split from Wiz Khalifa.
The 30-year-old model - who filed for divorce from the 'Black and Yellow' hitmaker on Wednesday (24.09.14) over suspicions he had been unfaithful - reportedly insisted on an eight-page pre-nuptial agreement before the pair tied the knot last April and insiders told TMZ she is pushing for the terms to be enforced because the $1 million settlement in the document is more than she would likely be awarded without it.
However, in her legal documents which were filed this week, Amber - who has 19-month-old son Sebastian with Wiz - is also seeking spousal support, and the pre-nup specifically denies her entitlement to it if she accepts the one-off payment.
The pre-nup does not discus custody of Sebastian, but Amber is seeking full legal and physical rights to the little boy.
Yesterday (25.09.14), Amber tweeted her sadness at the split and slammed slammed "fake" rumours claiming she had grown close to Nick Cannon following his split from Mariah Carey.
She wrote: "Please stop with the fake stories. I would never ever ever cheat on my husband in a million years I think u guys know this.....
"Unfortunately my now ex husband can't say the same....
"I'm devastated and crushed but my main focus is Sebastian. Thank u for all the support in this difficult time.(sic)"

Greg Wallace admits he's the "fat dad" of the 'Strictly Come Dancing' cast.
The 'MasterChef' presenter is slimmer now than he's been in years thanks to the work he's been doing with his on-screen dance partner Aliona Vilani, but concedes he still has a belly and feels self-conscious when surrounded by the more toned members of the 'Strictly' line-up, especially former rugby player Thom Evans.
Writing in his column in The Daily Telegraph newspaper, he revealed: "I was pleased with my outfit of sparkly trousers and nice waistcoat, until I walked out of the dressing room and saw Thom Evans in trousers four times tighter than mine and a shirt slashed to the waist.
"I had to slink off, crestfallen. I'm not the hot young thing; I'm the fat dad."
Greg also revealed his 17-year-old daughter Libby can't bring herself to watch her dad on the show because she fears he'll embarrass himself on the danceflor.
Of his girlfriend, Anna-Marie, Greg says there's a danger she will be jealous "seeing me with my arms around another woman".
He added: "I know 'Strictly...' has spawned romances galore, but I absolutely love my Anna and can safely say there is not that sort of chemistry between me and my professional partner, Aliona Vilani."

James 'Arg' Argent has been assigned a minder while filming 'The Only Way Is Essex' in Ibiza to stop him from getting lost.
The 26-year-old reality TV star was reported missing in August when he missed a meeting with his agent by going to the wrong airport with fears for his safety further increased because he was not reachable by phone as his battery had run out.
Eventually Arg got in touch with his mum - who had contacted the police - to let her know he was alive and well, but 'TOWIE' producers didn't want to take any chances while he and the rest of the cast were shooting scenes on the party island and assigned him a guard to watch him 24/7.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The show's producers are worried about his welfare. He has behaved very erratically in the past few months. He was late for lots of filming during the last series and they don't want any repeat this time around, especially as it's Ibiza.
"Producers at Lime Pictures thought long and hard about whether he should even go to the party isle but they struck up the deal and now James has a guy named Mason with him all the time."
Arg previously admitted he had no idea how much panic he had caused until he went on Twitter and saw "Pray For Arg" trending.
He said: "When I went and put my phone on charge and went on Twitter, all I saw was, 'Pray for Arg'. I was thinking, why are they praying for me.
"And then I phoned my mum and that was it. It was a bit embarrassing, but it's nice to know people care about me."
