After decades of gracing our screens in countless television shows and movies, Steve Martin has announced his retirement from acting. The world will surely miss his presence!

Steve Martin became a household name when he joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live.” He then found success beyond the show, starring in big-budget movies like ‘Pink Panther,’ ‘Cheaper by the Dozen,’ ‘Father of the Bride,’ and many more.

Despite getting older, Martin’s popularity hasn’t waned. While most people retire in their 60s, Martin experienced a career resurgence and became a father for the first time! He married Anne Stringfield in 2007, and the couple welcomed a daughter in 2012.

Now, Martin is ready to retire. In an interview, he said, “There’s a time in your career when people are dying to see you… Now is the time in my career when I’m the one who’s got to show up.”

Currently, Martin stars in the Hulu show “Only Murders in the Building” alongside longtime friend and collaborator Martin Short and singer-actress Selena Gomez. He created the characters very organically, saying, “I’m very happy with my character not growing. They always say, ‘What’s the arc of the character? What does he learn?’ Once you get to 75, there’s not a lot left to learn, there are only more mistakes. So I don’t worry about those things. [It’s about] being true to the character. If Marty Short is true to Oliver, and I’m true to Charles, then we can’t go wrong. They’re real people.”

Martin also revealed his plans for the future: “When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others. I’m not going to seek other movies. I don’t want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it.”

Well-known for his numerous cameos on the show that launched his career, Martin has been an SNL special guest 19 times and hosted the show 15 times. Now, he’s retiring on a high note, having been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series for his role as Charles Haden-Savage on his latest show.

Not many have a career as prolific as Steve Martin’s, and he clearly wants to leave with a win in his pocket. The actor can truly say he has done it all!

We wish Steve Martin the best of luck in his retirement and will surely miss him on our screens!
