Gary Oldman says he plans to retire from acting soon

"I don’t want to be active when I’m 80"

Newsroom November 21 02:20

The Oscar-winning actor, 64, shared that he intends to wind down his illustrious career when he completes his run in the acclaimed spy drama Slow Horses.

“I’ve had an enviable career, but careers wain, and I do have other things that interest me outside of acting,” the Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy told the Sunday Times. “When you’re young you think you’re going to get round to doing all of them — read that book — then the years go by.”

Oldman continued, sharing that while he has signed on for two additional seasons of the Apple TV+ series, he doesn’t intend to work well into his later years like some actors.
