Umm, now we're officially confused! Just more than one month after Robert Redford confirmed he was retiring from acting and his latest movie, The Old Man & The Gun, would be his last, the 82-year-old actor is now backtracking on his comments.

I shouldn’t have said that because it draws attention away from [my newest] film," Robert told People on Thursday, Sept. 20. In early August, the veteran actor told Entertainment Weekly that The Old Man & The Gun would be his final acting role. "Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and [I’ll] move towards retirement after this because I’ve been doing it since I was 21. I thought, 'Well, that’s enough.
