Are Robert’s retirement plans on hold?

-

The Sundance Kid may have a few acting adventures left in him.

Last month, screen legend Robert Redford said he was finished with acting, and planned to focus on directing in his golden years.

But in an interview published on Friday, Redford says he may have spoken too soon.

“That was a mistake. I should never have said that,” the 82-year-old actor told the entertainm­ent publicatio­n Variety at the New York premiere of his latest film, The Old Man & the Gun.

“If I’m going to retire, I should just slip quietly away from acting, but I shouldn’t be talking about it because I think it draws too much attention in the wrong way. I want to be focused on this film and the cast,” he said.

The comments backtracke­d from what he told Entertainm­ent Weekly in early August: “Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting.”
