Steve Martin Plans To Retire From Showbiz
There’s bad news for Steve Martin’s fans. The 76-year-old acting legend is planning to retire from the show business for good.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, said that the Hulu comedy series ‘Only Murders in the Building’ will be his last work. He said, “When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others.”
The ‘Pink Panther‘ actor added, “I’m not going to seek other movies. I don’t want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it.” Martin explained that he wants to focus on his personal life. “I have a family life that’s really fun. To film a movie now, to go someplace else to live, I’m not willing to do that anymore. I can’t disappear for three months.”
Steve then mentioned that he may not be retiring. “My wife keeps saying, ‘You always say you’re going to retire and then you always come up with something. I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not. But I would just work a little less. Maybe.”
Should Steve Martin Retire?
As fans of this multi-talented legend, we would never want him to go away from our screens. But it’s evident that age is catching up to him.
Steve has been active in the industry since the late 1960s as a writer for the comedy series ‘The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.’
His popularity rose after joining the sketch show ‘Saturday Night Live‘ as a host in 1969. Martin is known for his off-beat and absurd comedy and was ranked in Comedy Central’s ‘list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics.’
But every good thing must come to an end. So we cannot expect him, who has been here for so many years, to work beyond a certain limit. Till then, we can enjoy the latest season of ‘Only Murders in the Building.’
