The School of Rock star has made some pretty strong statements about his career in a new interview and seems to suggest that he’s turning his back on movies.
Jack, who has been nominated for a Golden Globe twice, says he doesn’t feel there’s much left for him to do acting wise and his next film will be probably be his last.
‘One movie left, and then it’s goodnight everybody,’ he told the Huffington Post.
‘At the beginning [of my acting career] I was so thrilled to have a part, that first big great part in High Fidelity [alongside John Cusack] opened up the universe to me.
‘And I was getting all these offers, and then I did a few other films and then I did School of Rock, and that was where all the planets aligned and that was the best possible situation.
But while the 46-year-old says he’s grateful for his success, he’s totally bored of playing the same character over and over again and feels his career is ‘coming to a close’.
‘You start going ‘Ok, I’ve already done that kind of thing, I’ve done the lovable loser, I’ll do another loveable loser, I’ll do this and that’ and then you say, ‘I don’t want to do another loveable loser’, just because I’m bored of it.’
‘So then you start narrowing things down and saying no more and more, until I arrive at this place, where I’ve done so many things, it keeps on narrowing the things I want to do that are left.’
The actor made the admission while promoting his latest movie Goosebumps, in which he plays author RL Stine.
