Viggo Mortensen has confirmed that he is quitting acting to concentrate on his painting, poetry and photography.

Yep, the 50-year old actor has stated that after the release of his upcoming movie The Road, he will walk away from Hollywood.

This is what he had to say…

“I have no plans to do another movie. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m open for seeing how I feel for a while, but right now I’m not saying yest 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.”

Well, we here at Nerdles.com hope we haven’t seen the last of him.
