The award-winning star attributed his retirement to his doctor's advice regarding his heart's condition.

Hackman told EMPIRE: "The straw that broke the camel’s back was actually a stress test that I took in New York.

"The doctor advised me that my heart wasn’t in the kind of shape that I should be putting it under any stress.

"When I’m actually on the set or on a stage, actually doing the work, I loved that process and I loved the creative process of trying to bring a character to life."

He further explained: "Whereas the business part of show business is kinda wicked, it’s kind of a frying pan.

"It was jarring and at my age and with my health, I decided I didn’t want to do that any longer.

"The agents don’t want me to say it, in case something good comes along but I’m officially retired. No doubt about it."
