Billy Bob Thornton who is 53 years old now has spoke out to MTV News that he maybe retiring from Hollywood movies. He’s done so much movies over the years that he’s getting tired of it that he is thinking about hanging it up. Not for good though. He explains he’ll still do a movie once in a while if they’ll call him first and if he needs the money. He also explains that he wants to get serious in his music career more than film. He also says he wants to direct a few more movies and write another screenplay before he’s done.
He also shot down the rumours of playing Freddy Krueger in the “Nightmare on Elm St.” remake.
MTV Movies Blog reports:
Well, there you have it folks. No Billy Bob for Freddy. Oh well.
It kind of sucks that Billy Bob is retiring this soon because he’s one of my favorite actors. If Sly Stallone, Jack Nicholson and Michael Douglas are still acting, you’re never too old to retire from hollywood.
Should Billy Bob do a sequel to “Sling Blade” by reprising his role as Karl Childers? I’d say bring it on. “Sling Blade” is a great movie and I would love a sequel if that’s one of Billy Bob’s plans before retiring.
