American actor Nicolas Cage has already planned the moment of his retirement from the cinema. Three or four more films and he will try his luck on television, he said in an interview with the portal’s editor-in-chief UproxxMike Ryan.

“I feel like I said what I had to say in the cinema. And I would like to leave at a good time and say goodbye.”

The conversation took place on the occasion of Cage’s role in Dream scenario, which premiered in the United States last month. In it he plays Paul Matthews, a professor who begins to appear in the dreams of others, and this phenomenon becomes, to use a fashionable term, viral. The artist explained that this would be his last film, but that he must fulfill contractual obligations.

The reason for your change? It’s not just age. It’s a change of interests. Cage explained to Ryan that he He wasn’t watching television until recently, when his son convinced him to watch Bad breaking, a show he found ‘magnificent’. That, he thought, will be the next phase of his career.

Born as Nicholas Coppola, nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola, preferred not to use that surname to avoid accusations of nepotism.

“I don’t want to get stuck in any genre or style. I want to do everything. And I feel like I can say goodbye after 45 years and more than 100 films. For that I have to make three or four films, and then change the format and the way I express my performance.”

He promised that he will be very strict in selecting new projects, and then he will focus on the streaming and the serial. “I saw Bryan Cranston looking at a suitcase for an hour on an episode of Break bad. We don’t have time for that in the cinema, so maybe television is best for me. We will see”.

He added that he wants to spend quality time with his family. “I will be 60 next month and my father died at the age of 75. If I’m lucky I’ll live longer than him, but I don’t know. What am I going to do for the next fifteen years? “What matters are my children, and I have a baby.”
