I mean, can’t you just say I’m going to have a break, I want to paint a little bit or something like that.

Well, I hope at least he paints as well as he does movies, otherwise its a loss…

When people want to draw attention to what they do they say they are gonna quit..how many times have you heard guys with long hair say “gee i am gonna cut it all off!” Its a ploy of ego to get people to say”oh no dont we like it”so u fee reaffirmed

His paintings are probably gonna be mad expensive.

How about this guy: You complete your films, you don’t sign any projects for a few years and you don’t announce your plans of painting. Then when you have a collection, say you paint.

They are saying Magic Mike goes into production next month, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. next February, and then Liberace in May or June 2012. One more year and he’s out!
