Tom Hanks is still going strong in Hollywood, recently appearing in AManCalledOtto. So, when asked if he plans on retiring from acting, he gets honest about his work commitment and the conditions of why he continues acting.
A Man Called Otto star Tom Hanks reveals if he ever plans on retiring from acting. The beloved actor broke through in his mid-20s with the 1984 film Splash, which led to a series of critically acclaimed comedies for Hanks, including The Money Pit, Big, and A League of Their Own. He eventually moved into dramas like Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, and Cast Away, cementing himself as one of the most accomplished and admired actors over his four-decade-long career.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During a recent interview with Variety at the New York premiere of his new movie A Man Called Otto, Tom Hanks was asked if he ever plans on retiring. The beloved actor cast doubt on the prospect, saying he doesn't want to retire. Read his full response below: "No, I don’t have any desire [to retire]. I’m not working for the sake of working. I’m in a very lucky position. It’s got to be fabulous. Rita and I talk about it all the time, which is there’s only two reasons go to work: It’ll be good or it’ll be fun. And if it’s neither one of those, I’ll stay home until the cows come on. I don’t need to do anything.
With Hanks confirming that he has no plans to retire, this chapter of his career could continue for many years to come. His upcoming roles include Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, in which he is part of a massive ensemble, and the Robert Zemeckis film Here, which is set in a single room.
The revelation that Hanks has no plans to retire should be reassuring. While other esteemed actors of his generation, such as Brad Pitt, have expressed interest in hanging it up early, Hanks knows that some of his best work could come during his latter years. For instance, Anthony Hopkins recently became the oldest actor in history to win an Oscar at 82. With A Man Called Otto the latest to hit theaters, Tom Hanks' senior years are hopefully filled with similar success.
