The acting legend that is Nicolas Cage has a plan for his retirement, and it might be very soon.

He told Vanity Fair “I may have three or four more movies left in me… I do feel I’ve said what I’ve had to say with cinema. I think I took film performance as far as I could …

But he’s going to be very careful about what those last films are: “I do want to get much more severe and stringent in my selection process … I want to say bye on a high note.”

Why?

He’ll be 60 in January and his dad died at 75. “If I’m lucky, I have maybe a good 15 years and hopefully more,” he said. “What do I want to do with those 15 years, using my father as the model? It occurred very clearly to me that I want to spend time with my family.”
