Tommy Lee Jones, 80, Reveals If He’ll Ever Retire From Acting in Rare Interview
Tommy Lee Jones has the lowdown on his career plans.
Days after the 80-year-old made his first red carpet appearance in three years, he candidly shared insight into his latest roles—and if he’s given any thought to retiring.
“Yes, I have,” Jones exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in a joint interview with The Lowdown costar Ethan Hawke. “I’m not gonna do it.”
Especially because he’s enjoying every aspect of his career, which includes his most recent turn on season two of the FX series, in which he stars as Hawke’s estranged father.
And joining the world of The Lowdown “was very inviting” for Jones, who shared the set was “a happy place to be.”
“I would have been happy to play any part in that world,” he added. “What was most appealing was just what it was.”
And for Hawke, so much of that came down to creator Sterlin Harjo’s leadership.
