US rapper P Diddy says he wants to concentrate on his acting career.

The performer, whose real name is Sean Coombs, told US chat show host David Letterman that he wanted to play lead roles in major blockbusters.

"Yeah, leading man kind of stuff; you know, jumping off of buildings," Combs told Letterman.

Coombs, 38, has already starred on Broadway in Raisin in the Sun and has had small parts in films Monster's Ball and Made.
