Nicolas Cage isn't planning on retiring f𒅌rom acting – ever.

"That can't happen," the actor told of retirement. "To do what I do in cinema has been like a guarღdian angel for me, and I need it. I'm healthier when I'm working, I need a positive place to express my life experience, and filmmaking has given me that. So I'm never going to retire. Where are we now, 117 movies? [Laughs]"

He added: "What's funny is, my argument with people who go, 'You work too much,' was 'I like working, and it's healthy, I'm happy when I'm working, and by the way, guys🔯 like Cagney and Bogart, they were doing hundreds of movies.' And then I went, 'I'd better check that,' and I went, 'Oops.' [Laughs] Jerry Lewis was one of my friends, and he and I would go and have dinner together, and he would say, 'How many movies you got?' I go, 'I got about 100, how many you got?' 'I got 40. So you got twice as much as me?' 'Well, I didn't know that, Jerry.'"

Cage🤪 can next be seen in Sion Sono's Prisoners of the Ghostland, portraying a bank robber on the trail of a missing girl who has vanished into a supernatural world. He also recently appeared in the critically acclaimed Pig, and will be playing himself in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, with a cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tiffany Haddish.

Prisoners of the Ghostland releases in theaters and on VOD this September♛ 17, following its January premiere at Sundance Film Festival.
