Hollywood actor Matt Damon insists that he 'loves' Lance Armstrong but will not be playing him in an upcoming film of the disgraced cyclist's life.

US actor Matt Damon has claimed that he is "too old" to play the role of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong in a planned biopic.

A film centred around the 41-year-old's life is believed to have been in the works for a while but it is expected to be altered following the recent revelations that the former Tour de France winner had taken performance-enhancing drugs for the better part of his career.

"I was way too old 10 years ago to play him," Damon told MTV News. "No, that ship sailed a while ago because of how old I was.

"I still think that story is remarkable and I'm sorry for what's happened, but I have to say he's done incredible things and he's given a lot of people a lot of hope. He's made a hell of an impact on a lot of lives and he raised a ton of money for cancer research. I love the guy."

Meanwhile, Armstrong was spotted canoeing with friends in Hawaii earlier this week.
