The Gladiator star went on to weigh up his options, making note of 85-year-old director Ridley Scott continuing his work as he ages.
‘I will take Ridley Scott as my role model: he is still discovering new things in his work. Or I will just stop and you will never hear from me again,’ he continued.
‘I haven’t decided what it’s going to be. These are two very valid choices.’
