Asked on Kermode and Mayo’s Film Review to clarify if Best Sellers will be his last film, Sir Michael went on: ‘I think it would be, yeah.
‘There haven’t been any offers, obviously, for two years, because nobody’s been making any movies that I’d want to do.
‘Also I’m 88! There’s not exactly scripts pouring out where the leading man is 88! You know?’
Despite Sir Michael’s comments, The Wrap has confirmed with his representatives that he’s ‘not fully retiring’.
