“I’m getting tired of acting,” claims Robert Redford.
“After they finish, I’ll say, ‘Well, that’s goodbye to everything,'” he stated in a conversation with his grandson. “At this point in my life, age 80, it’d give me more satisfaction.” Renowned for roles in movies including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the actor and director recently starred in a Disney film remake called Pete’s Dragon.
The Sting and Out of Africa star, who won Oscars, is also credited with starting the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Redford described himself as “an impatient person” who finds it difficult “to sit around and do take after take after take” in a conversation with his grandson Dylan. As he approached his ninth decade, the actor—who had previously studied art in Paris—also disclosed that he was thinking about “going back to sketching”. Redford revealed that he was working on “a lighter piece” and “a love story for older people” in addition to his acting endeavors. 2017 will see the release of the two movies, Our Souls at Night, costarring Jane Fonda, and The Old Man and the Gun, costarring Casey Affleck.
