But Michael Douglas has confessed that - after a three-year break - it would take 'something special' to draw him back to work.
He said: 'I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop.
'I had been working pretty hard for almost 60 years, and I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set.'
Speaking at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, he added: 'I have no real intentions of going back. I say I'm not retired because if something special came up, I'd go back, but otherwise, no.'
Michael also confessed his decision was partially down to wanting to 'maintain a good marriage'.
He is married to actress Catherine Zeta Jones and the couple are considered one of Hollywood's golden couples after tying the knot in 2000.
Michael recently left TV viewers covering their faces in shock, when he revealed the secret of his marriage to Catherine.
During an interview with US show The View, the esteemed actor talked about the couple's love of golf.
When asked what Catherine makes him do when he loses, Michael shocked the hosts with his cheeky response.
"What does she make you do when you lose to her?" asked co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.

Michael responded: "Whip it out."
As the hosts laughed, the actor continued: "She says, 'You've gotta whip it out.'
"Drop the trou and whip it out.
"That's the secret to a marriage."

Whoopi Goldberg returns to The View after Iran comments
Whoopi Goldberg whined that her multimillion-dollar job co-hosting The View can 'feel like hell,' after returning from a two-week break following backlash over her controversial comments on Iran. The 69-year-old delivered the self-pitying remark at the start of Tuesday's episode, as she and her fellow hosts were met with an especially raucous round of applause. 'Let us say this to you: Thank you for that, because sometimes this gig can feel like hell,' she said, moved by the display. 'And sometimes you feel like people are just angry at you all the time. So, to get a welcome like this this morning, we really appreciate it.' Goldberg had returned to The View on Monday for the first time in two weeks, following a trip overseas and the show's annual weeklong summer hiatus. Before she left, she faced blowback for insisting to her fellow panelists that living in the United States as a black person is just as bad as living in Iran. She appeared to shrug off the controversy by attending a ceremony in Sicily , where she discussed the 'challenges' of being a celebrity. While her salary has not been disclosed publicly, an insider told The US Sun in 2022 that she earned a cool $8million as The View's highest paid host. Goldberg, who has appeared on the show since 2007, is worth an estimated $60million. Her frequent off-the-cuff remarks have gotten her into hot water over the years, including her June 18 comments that human rights violations in Iran were on par with the treatment of marginalized groups in the US. The response on social media was swift ruthless, with comics Bill Maher and Adam Carolla also weighing in to pan the star. 'These are not conversations that I'm having with my friends,' she said. 'If they were, we'd be doing it differently. My friends and I can talk about things in-depth in a different way than you can on television.' In November, she claimed she was still on The View after so many years because she needed the money, before comparing the situation to those of millions of other working Americans.
