Gene Hackman Once Revealed Why He Didn’t Officially Announce His Retirement
HuffPost
The Hollywood legend's last role was in the 2004 film "Welcome to Mooseport."
Gene Hackman was a true giant in Hollywood, and his death this week has left many reflecting on his storied career.
The Hollywood legend and two-time Oscar winner was renowned for starring in films like “French Connection,” “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Hoosiers.” But he revealed in a candid interview with Empire in 2009 that his health was preventing him from continuing to work.
“The straw that broke the camel’s back was actually a stress test that I took in New York,” Hackman said at the time. “The doctor advised me that my heart wasn’t in the kind of shape that I should be putting it under any stress.”
Hackman also discussed his decision to step away from the limelight in a 2008 interview with Reuters, and said he had officially retired.
“I haven’t held a press conference to announce retirement, but yes, I’m not going to act any longer,” he told the outlet, before explaining why he hadn’t been very public with the news.
