On Monday, Hollywood icon Robert Redford announced his retirement from acting—but he hasn't entirely closed the door on directing.

Redford's final film as an actor will be the forthcoming The Old Man & The Gun, a crime comedy directed by David Lowery.

In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 81-year-old Oscar winner and founder of the Sundance Film Festival said:

Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I'll] move towards retirement after this 'cause I've been doing it since I was 21. I thought, Well, that's enough. And why not go out with something that's very upbeat and positive?

Check it out via journalist Mark Harris' thread:




Commenters showed their appreciation for his legacy and were sad to see him go:







Many fans reflected on their favorite Robert Redford movies:







Rob Lowe, who called Redford his hero, also listed his favorite Redford flicks:



He may be closing the curtain on acting roles, but Redford's retirement doesn't mean he won't still be involved in movies.

When EW asked if he'd still direct, Redford said:

We'll see about that.


And there was more praise:





The Old Man & The Gun, which explores the life of American career criminal Forrest Tucker and co-stars Elisabeth Moss, Sissy Spacek, Casey Affleck, and Danny Glover, opens September 28.

Hasan Piker—progressive political commentator, YouTuber, and Twitch streamer—revealed he was detained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents for almost two hours at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Sunday as he returned to the United States from France.
