During
an
interview
with
Access
Hollywood
Jim
said
he
is
fairly
serious
about
his
retirement.
When
singer
Dolly
Parton
said
that
she
would
him
to
star
in
her
biopic,
to
which
he
replied
saying,
“Well,
I’m
retiring.
Yeah,
probably.
I’m
being
fairly
serious.
It
depends,
if
the
angels
bring
some
sort
of
script
that’s
written
in
gold
ink
that
says
to
me
that
it’s
going
to
be
really
important
for
people
to
see,
I
might
continue
down
the
road
but
I’m
taking
a
break.”

He
added
that
he
has
been
enjoying
the
quiet
spiritual
life
away
from
the
hustle.
Jim
explained,
“I
really
like
my
quiet
life
and
I
really
like
putting
paint
on
canvas
and
I
really
love
my
spiritual
life
and
I
feel
like,
and
this
is
something
you
might
never
hear
another
celebrity
say
as
long
as
time
exists-I
have
enough.
I’ve
done
enough.
I
am
enough.”

Notably,
Bruce
Willis
also
announced
his
retirement
from
acting.
The

Die
Hard
actor
was
diagnosed
with
Aphasia,
a
disorder
that
is
caused
by
brain
damage
that
impacts
the
ability
to
communicate.
The
news
was
confirmed
by
the
actor’s
family
in
a
statement.

Coming
