Renowned Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage, an emblematic figure in the film industry, appears to be contemplating the conclusion of his illustrious acting career.
As he nears the milestone of 60 years, Cage shared with Vanity Fair magazine his contemplation of stepping back from the cinematic spotlight.
In a recent interview, Cage disclosed, "I probably only have three or four films left." Expressing a sentiment of fulfillment in his cinematic journey, he remarked, "I feel like I said everything I had to say in the movie. I think I did everything possible... I want to end my career on a high note."
The acclaimed actor underscored his intention to conclude his career purposefully, stating, "It became clear to me that I wanted to spend time with my family... I’m starting to solidify that plan," drawing inspiration from his father's life, who passed away at the age of 75.
While contemplating retirement from films, Cage remained open to exploring alternative realms within the entertainment industry, including the prospect of venturing into television series, an avenue he has yet to tread.
Cage's cinematic journey spans over a remarkable tenure, featuring in more than 100 feature films following his breakout role in Valley Girl in 1983. His indelible performance in Leaving Las Vegas garnered him an Oscar for Best Actor in 1996.
Notably, in 2023 alone, he received six prestigious awards, showcasing his continued impact and versatility in the industry. His recent comedy, "Dream Script," received widespread acclaim, marking a pinnacle in his illustrious career.
However, Cage's statement regarding having "three or four more movies left" might not encompass the four upcoming films listed on IMDB, currently in various stages of production.
Recognizing the passage of time and aiming to throttle down his film commitments upon reaching 60, Cage hints at a deliberate shift in focus.
As Cage contemplates the next phase of his professional journey, his legacy as an actor and his enduring contributions to cinema resonate, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of audiences worldwide.
