Michael Bublé has revealed he is making a huge career move away from music and has opened up about what his future might hold next.
The Canadian singer has said he wants "people to get to know the real him", saying he wants to make a change to a new sector of the entertainment industry.
Bublé said he wants fans to meet 'Mike' instead of the 'suit-wearing' Michael Bublé.
The 48-year-old has five UK Number 1 albums and three top ten singles, and has been nominated for three Brit awards. He has also starred in this year's Christmas advert for Asda.

He said: "Every night I go out and put on this suit and then when I walk out on stage I become the guy I always wanted to be. He's so cool, Teflon and says all the right things. I can be goofy but there's another.
"You're going to meet him. I'm going to make sure the whole world meets him. For 20 years I have done the same thing, it has been cyclical. Michael writes and makes a great record and I go to 40 countries and promote it and then I go on tour for a year and a half.
"I feel like I'm at this point in my life and my career where I want to do something different. Music will always be my happy place and my love but I need time to do some other stuff.
"Really it is about being that other guy, not the suit guy, being Mike. Whether that is in movies or television or whatever it is, it has to happen now."

Bublé's son Noah was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma at the age of three in 2016. The singer said that the diagnosis was a "sledgehammer" to his life and made him reset his priorities.
Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast to presenter and Dragon's Den star Steven Bartlett, he said: "My son's cancer diagnosis rocked my world. It pulled the curtain from over my eyes. I don't want to get deeper into it, but I don't think I had context.
"That was a sledgehammer to my reality, I will never be carefree again in my life, and that's OK.
"It is a privilege for me to exist and that pain, fear and suffering that comes with those sorts of things, it's part of this life.
"When it actually happened, I was going through a crisis. I don't think I had my priorities straight. My family was always a love - I don't think I was a terrible guy but it was blinders - career, ambition, how do I become the baddest, biggest, best? More ego, more power."

Noah, now 10, had to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy following his diagnosis of hepatoblastoma, a rare type of liver cancer, and he is now in remission.
As well as Noah, Michael shares kids Elias, seven, Vida, five, and Cielo, 16 months, with his actress wife Luisana Lopilato, whom he married in 2011.
He added: "I want to be kinder, I want to be more empathetic, I don't want that ego and that false self to take over, I want to know how lucky I am.
"I'm a lucky man, look at my wife, how did that happen, how did I get this incredible human being who is the best of all of us to lead me through and carry me through these things?"
