<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 50-year-old actor has claimed he is planning to turn his back on his profession and focus on "truth" when the sixth and final season of <strong>Empire</strong> - on which he plays music mogul Lucious Lyon - comes to an end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Asked his plans after <strong>Empire</strong>, he told 'Extra': "I'm done with acting. I'm done pretending."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When he was then asked if he plans to focus on philanthropy, he replied: "No, not philanthropy; I'm just focusing on bringing truth to the world."</p>

<p>He said: "I love the cast members. I will miss them a great deal, and the crew."</p>

<p>The <strong>Hustle &amp; Flow</strong> actor's announcement comes a few months after it was claimed he is being investigated for criminal tax evasion.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The federal government are reportedly looking into possible financial crimes committed by Terrence, Mira Pak - who he divorced in 2015 but got engaged to again in December 2018 - and her company Universal Bridges Inc..</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>However, a spokesperson for the US State Attorney's Office said: "Our office can neither confirm or deny the existence of an investigation."</p>
