Well I am now. Because I’ve figured, I’ve had a picture [where] I’ve played the lead and it’s got incredible reviews.”Michael – who previously expressed disappointment over having not won an Oscar in the lead actor category – said: “The only parts I’m liable to get now are old men, 90-year-old men. Or maybe 85. I thought, I might as well leave with all this. I’ve got wonderful reviews. What am I gonna do to beat this?”Joan continues to act. Her upcoming projects include portraying the late Wallis Simpson in a new biopic about her final years. Her involvement in the project, titled the Bitter End, was announced earlier this year ahead of filming.Like this story?
