However, Nicolas, who has done over 100 films, quickly put those retirement rumors to bed and promised never to walk away.
"No, no, no. No, no. That can't happen. To do what I do in cinema has been like a guardian angel for me, and I need it."
"I'm healthier when I'm working, I need a positive place to express my life experience, and filmmaking has given me that. So I'm never going to retire."
Despite his vow to work forever, he also stated that the gigs are getting harder and harder as he gets older.
"At my age, the job that I have is to stay interested, because if I'm not interested, you're not going to be interested. It gets more difficult the older we get."
