It's not fair to me also in many ways. This is the time for me... to experience life in a different way. I'm looking forward to the next year, year and a half in which I'm not actually working as an actor for the first time.," the 57-year-old star said.
"I'll work as a producer on 'Champions' because I really believe in the film. I'll approach other actors now to see if they are interested to do the role that I was hoping to do. I'm at that stage in my life where I want to enjoy my relationships," he added.
