Comedy Legend Steve Martin Announces Retirement from Acting at 75

The decision to retire by Martin, who rose to fame for his “Saturday Night Live” debut and brilliant turns in blockbuster movies like “Pink Panther” and “Father of the Bride,” has shocked both his legion of fans and his colleagues in the entertainment world. “Once you reach 75, there’s not much left to learn, only more mistakes to be made,” he said bluntly, at the age of 75.

Steve Martin’s current role as Martin Short’s and Selena Gomez’s shining example in the very praised series “Only Murders in the Building” is his last acting gig. Although Martin was nominated for an Emmy for his great performance, he has said that this will be his final performance, making a lasting impression on the comedy and acting worlds.

We can take comfort in the fact that his legacy will keep on giving, even if we shall miss him so much onscreen. Your incredible skill, the joy you brought to so many people’s lives, and the memories we’ll always cherish are all thanks to you, Steve Martin.
