MORTENSEN CONSIDERS MOVIE RETIREMENT

VIGGO MORTENSEN is considering early retirement following the release of his new movie THE ROAD - because he wants to spend more time as a publisher, poet and photographer.

Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee star in John Hillcoat's 'The Road,' based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulizter Prize winning novel

The Lord of The Rings star, who publishes his poetry and photographic books through his Perceval Press imprint, insists he is planning a long hiatus from Hollywood - and he may never return as a movie star.

He tells Men's Journal magazine, "I have no plans to do another movie. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm open to seeing how I feel in a while, but right now I'm not saying yes to anything.

"My agent is like, 'Well, if you don't do anything, people will forget about you...' I just feel like I've taken on too much for a while."
