Nicolas Cage admitted he has very limited time left in Hollywood and broke down just how many movies he thinks he can still muster up.
Cage, who is approaching his 60th birthday, is aware of the aging process and is trying to make the best of the years he has left.
“It’s starting to solidify—I’m starting to cement my plan,” he told Vanity Fair. “I may have three or four more movies left in me,” he said.
Nicolas Cage didn’t watch TV until his son made him watch ‘BREAKING BAD’.
He found the series “magnificent” and now wants to act in TV shows instead.

“I do feel I’ve said what I’ve had to say with cinema,” Cage said, as he spoke of his impressive list of contributions to Hollywood.
“I think I took film performance as far as I could,” he said.
Cage spoke about “not getting stuck,” and revealed he has recently been “wanting to explore the edge of screen performance.”

Nicolas Cage is eyeing a retirement from movies.
“I feel I’ve pretty much said what I’ve had to say with cinema. And I’d like to leave on a high note and say, ‘Adios.’ I think I have to do maybe three or four more movies before I can get there, and then hopefully switch formats… pic.twitter.com/TGYVYIp32w
