The movie "The Old Man and the Gun", starring the famous Hollywood actor Robert Redford, will be released in North America on September 28 this year. Not long ago, the 81-year-old Robert Redford confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that this work will be his last work before he dies.
Redford told reporters: "I decided that this 'The Old Man and the Gun' would be the last work of my acting career. I'll be out of the picture after that because I've been acting since I was 21 years old. Well, that's how I'm satisfied. And why not get out of this circle with a very positive and optimistic attitude? ”
In fact, as early as 2016, Redford showed his tiredness of acting, and when promoting "Captain America 2", he said that he would no longer act, and retired from the front of the screen, and in the future, he would either concentrate on being a director or regain his paintbrush to draw his favorite sketches: "I am an impatient person, so it is really difficult for me to sit and wait between each shot." At this stage of my eighties, I want to give myself a greater sense of satisfaction, after all I don't need to rely on anyone now. ”
Born in California, Robert Redford studied painting at the Pratt Academy of Fine Arts and later performed at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. In 1959, he debuted on Broadway and quickly became popular with "Tiger and Leopard Bully" after entering the film world. The 1973 films "Past Feelings" and "Deception in deception" made him a box office leader for the next three years, and he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor for "Deception in Deception".
In the 1980s, Robert Redford began to transform into a director, shooting his directorial debut "Ordinary People", which won him the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture. In 1985, he co-starred with Meryl Streep in the film Out of Africa, which won the Oscar for Best Picture, and Robert Redford was also known to audiences around the world.
Redford also bought a ski base in Utah, far from Hollywood, and founded the Sundance Institute, which is dedicated to supporting and training new film screenwriters and film directors, and since then the "Sundance Film Festival" has become the most influential independent film festival in the world.
