United Kingdom, July 6 -- Michael Douglas has "no real intentions" of acting again.

The 80-year-old actor has taken a step back from his career but refuses to declare he is now retired because if a "special" project came his way, he'd be open to getting back in front of the camera again.

Speaking at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, Variety reports he said during a press conference: "I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realised I had to stop.

"I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set. I have no real intentions of going back. I say I'm not retired because if something special came up, I'd go back, but otherwise, no.
