"I’ve been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to," he tells the site. "When you make a living from something, it changes your relationship with it. It’s not like I hate it, it’s just not what I want to do."
"I have one year left in college. After that, I might do a post-graduate of some kind, but I don’t know in what," he adds of his future.
While it may seem shocking that he wouldn't continue his acting career while the iron is hot, he's definitely going out on a high note.

EW also talked to series creator George R.R. Martin, who says he feels "guilty that he's quitting acting now."
"I hope that playing Joffrey didn’t help make him want to retire from the profession because he does have quite a gift for it and could have a major career as an actor," Martin adds.
