«Breaking News» Robert Redford, 82, says he REGRETS announcing his acting retirement

Robert Redford thinks announcing his retirement was a 'mistake'.

The 82-year-old screen legend recently confirmed The Old Man And The Gun - a comedy drama about 'gentleman' bank robber Forrest Tucker, who escaped from prison 18 times and was still committing crimes in his seventies - will be his final work as an actor but he now wishes he had simply 'slipped away' quietly. 

'I think that was a mistake that I ever brought that up, that's something you can't talk about it, you just slip away from,' he told Extra.

Shouldn't have said it? Robert Redford thinks announcing his retirement was a 'mistake'. The 82-year-old screen legend recently confirmed The Old Man And The Gun will be his final work as an actor but he now wishes he had simply 'slipped away' quietly. Seen on Thursday

Class act. Redford - seen in 1960 - made his film debut in War Hunt (1962). His role in Inside Daisy Clover (1965) won him a Golden Globe for best new star. He starred in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), which was a huge success and made him a major star

'You can slip away from that, it's been a long career, I am very proud of it, but I shouldn't have mentioned that.'

But the Sting actor isn't stepping away from Hollywood entirely as he's going to be producing and directing, and confirmed he'll next be getting behind the camera for a movie adaptation of 109 East Palace.

The veteran actor recently admitted The Old Man and the Gun was the 'right' movie to end his career on because it's an uplifting story.

A good pal: The talent with Sissy Spacek at the The Old Man & The Gun premiere at The Plaza Theatre in New York City on Thursday

He said: 'This feels like the right film to go out on as an actor because the film I had done before that - 'Our Souls At Night' - I was very proud of but it was very serious, kind of a heavy lift, a dramatic love story with Jane Fonda.

'It was a wonderful film to work on but it was very sad so I wanted the last film I act in to be uplifting.

'It's an incredible, bizarre story because it's true. 

Very good company: And here the icon is seen with his friend Danny Glover

'his guy really did exist, he really did rob banks, he really had a good time, he never hurt anybody, he was always smiling, enjoying it, getting put in prison, escaping from prison, getting put back in prison, escaping again. Back and forth, back and forth.'

Redford began acting on television in the early 1960s. 

He earned an Emmy nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in The Voice of Charlie Pont (1962). 

His greatest Broadway success was as the stuffy newlywed husband of Elizabeth Ashley in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park (1963).

Redford made his film debut in War Hunt (1962). His role in Inside Daisy Clover (1965) won him a Golden Globe for best new star. He starred in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), which was a huge success and made him a major star.

In 1972, he had a critical and box office hit with Jeremiah Johnson (1972), and in 1973 had the greatest hit of his career, the blockbuster crime caper The Sting, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. 

They just click! The actor has often worked with Jane Fonda, who is seen here in 1960

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
