51-year-old British actor Hugh Grant is eying retirement. Although he says there may be some exceptions, he is mostly finished with his career as an actor unless an exciting project comes up. Hugh explains that although he does have passion for acting, there are also elements he doesn’t enjoy:
”I’m pretty much finished. Occasionally something tickles my fancy, otherwise I’m fine. I’m still not very keen on acting. I don’t do much work, but I like aspects of it. I like the camaraderie with people you are working with. But actually standing in front of a camera, no I don’t love that.”
Hugh also reveals that he is often asked for acting advice which can be hard when the person doesn’t have any talent. He describes acting as a “disease” people get:
”I get a lot of cousins and friends asking me for advice, saying, ‘I want to be an actor.’ It’s this disease that some people get, it’s weird. Sometimes they are incredibly talented, and sometimes, they have no talent whatsoever, and I don’t know what to tell them or their parents. ‘The saddest thing in the world is to see someone going on in their late thirties or forties still struggling to play a carrot on a TV commercial. For some people, they have to do it, they are so stage struck.”
