Robert Redford Says Announcing His Retirement Was ‘A Mistake’

Next week, Robert Redford’s final role hits theaters.?Or wait,?could it be? David Lowery’s?The Old Man & the Gun?is likely to become the last movie on?Redford’s acting resume, but?now he’s?regretting announcing his retirement from the start.

Back in 2016, Redford?revealed he or she two more movies on the way, program was bidding adieu to it all to concentrate on directing. The 1st of people was Netflix’s?Our Souls At Night, making his alleged final role Lowery’s film. Then recently Redford confirmed?his retirement to?Entertainment Weekly saying, “Never say never, having said that i very well determined that going to it personally in relation to acting.” However, now that is probably not true.

When asked if he was retiring along at the premiere of?The Old Man & the Gun on Thursday,?the 82-year-old actor told?Variety, “That would be a mistake. Cope with are yet to declared that.” Wait, what?!?When pressed once more issue was indeed his last role, Redford wouldn’t answer, saying he rather allow it become a mystery. He added:

If I’m going to retire, I will just slip quietly clear of acting, however must not be talking about it because I think it draws an excessive amount of attention while in the wrong way. I have to be centered on this film as well as cast.

That’s a completely fair response, especially?considering simply how much the press (myself included)?makes his retirement?news a huge part with the conversation?around Lowery’s movie. Though the thing is,?The?Old Man & the Gun plays just like a loving tribute to Redford’s career, thus if?it?happens to be?his last movie, it’s actually a darn perfect option to say goodbye. Considering that there have been all of this fuss though, perhaps Redford will need another role merely to, as he says, maintain your mystery alive. And hey, if he keeps acting, measuring only a win for folks.

The Old Man & the Gun hits theaters September 28.
