American actor Michael Douglas, who has been acting in films for almost 60 years, has announced his retirement. During his career, he received 2 Oscars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He announced<\/a> the end of his career at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Variety reports.<\/p>\n

The actor said that he understood that he “had to stop”, so he has not acted in films since 2022.<\/p>\n

“I’ve worked pretty hard for almost 60 years and I didn’t want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set. I have no real intention of coming back. I’m not retired because if something special happened I would come back, but otherwise I wouldn’t,” the actor said.<\/p>\n

Douglas’ decision was also influenced by throat cancer. The actor said that “stage four cancer is not a holiday,” but he noted that he didn’t have much of a choice.<\/p>\n

“I chose treatment, which included chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and I was lucky. The operation would have meant I wouldn’t be able to speak, I would have had part of my jaw removed, and that would have limited my options as an actor,” he added.<\/p>\n

Douglas is best known for the films “Basic Instinct,” “Wall Street” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the actor began his career in the film “Cast a Giant Shadow”, which was released in 1966. His last film was the series “Franklin”, which was released in 2024.<\/p>\n

Douglas also had a career as a producer from 1975 to 2020. At the time of his retirement, the actor was 80 years old.<\/p>\n
