Although 2008 seems like just yesterday, it was over 15 years ago. And that means, believe it or not, that actor Gene Hackman has been retired for nearly two decades at this point. That’s right! However, fans still remember him from some of the biggest movies of all time, including The French Connection, Superman: The Movie, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Finally, in late 2008, Hackman decided to reveal why he had left the movie business in 2005, after nearly six decades on screen. “I miss the actual acting part of it, as it’s what I did for almost 60 years, and I really loved that. But the business for me is very stressful,” he explained. Hopefully, Hackman’s enjoyed his retirement with his $80 million net worth.
