Ridley Scott, the legendary director behind Gladiator and Blade Runner, appeared on Sky News’ The Pledge in June 2025, delivering a shocking statement. At 87, he revealed he had considered retiring after Gladiator II due to exhaustion and creative burnout, admitting, «I nearly walked away from it all.» This confession, tied to the film’s controversial reception, highlighted a personal toll from decades of high-stakes directing. Post-revelation, Scott has scaled back, focusing on smaller projects and spending time with family in France. Fans were floored by his vulnerability, but he has rebuffed media requests, stating, «I’m done explaining myself.» His reluctance underscores a wish to step away from public scrutiny and redefine his legacy on his terms.
