'This is the end for me': Terrence Howard says he's given his 'best' as he plans to retire from acting
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Terrence Howard is hanging up his boots . . . again! The 'St Vincent' star who will next be seen in 'The Best Man: The Final Chapters' claims "this is it for him" in acting. "This is the end for me. This is the end for me," he said in a recent interview, before adding about his 'Best Man' co-stars, "I don't know if it's the end for the rest of them." The 53-year-old star admitted that he had retired before but this time he has made up his mind, "I retired two years ago, for the most part. I was done."
Howard added, "I asked Sidney Poitier 10 years ago does he want to do any more work, and he said, 'Why would I spend my last 10 years doing an impersonation of myself?' And that's what I've gotten to." In his September 2019 announcement, ‘The Butler’ star spoke in length about "running away" from acting after completing his role in 'Empire.' "I've been playing pretend forever. [There's] no need to play pretend anymore," Howard said. "I've done my time," Howard said. Interestingly, his co-star Vivica A Fox reacted to his retirement with suspicion back then, "More than likely, he'll probably take off a year or two, hang out with his kids, have a good time, and then the acting bug will hit him again," she said on 'People Every Day' podcast.
