In 2021, FreemantoldParademagazinewhether he plans to one day retire. The Oscar winner said at the time, “I think this business retires you. I’m not quite sure I can say, ‘Well, yeah, I’m going to retire,’ because if your phone keeps ringing, you’re probably going to keep working. So I’m going to stop there and say probably not.”
“You start out wanting to be a star of some sort, but I very quickly learned once you get into the business of stardom, that’s a strange dream to have,” he said. “If you can just get enough work to pay your rent, you’re going to be happy camper.”
