"I haven't acted in almost two years, and I am not really sure when the next version of that wouldbe," the actor shared. "As you get older, the parts aren't as interesting. I'm not a leading man anymore. Nobody wants to see me kiss the girl.

"I still have some game left in filmmaking," he said, adding that he's spent much time in Lake Como working on new projects.
