Robert Redford says he’s retiring from acting
‘I’ve been doing it since I was 21,’ 81-year-old screen star says of his acting career
Robert Redford’s illustrious acting career has reached its end.
The legendary film star, 81, said he is retiring from acting after more than five decades in the industry and dozens of movie and TV roles.
“Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and (I’ll) move towards retirement after this ‘cause I’ve been doing it since I was 21,” Redford told Entertainment Weekly.
“I thought, Well, that’s enough. And why not go out with something that’s very upbeat and positive?”
Redford had told the Walker Art Center in 2016 that he anticipated The Old Man & The Gun, which premieres September 28, would be his final role, and he’s now confirming that’s still the case.
