Julie Delpy reveals why she turned down fourth part of Before series

Actor-filmmaker Julie Delpy says she turned down the fourth movie in the celebrated Before series within the last one and a half year as she was contemplating retirement.

Delpy went through hoops to produce her film My Zoe, which left her exhausted and fed up with the film industry, reported IndieWire quoting her interview from Telerama. “I often think about it,” Delpy said about leaving the industry.

“A year and a half ago, I was not far from it. The hell I went through to produce my film (My Zoe) had exhausted me. I said no to Richard Linklater for the fourth part of the Before films. I thought that maybe I could go back to school. I would make a very good doctor, for example. You give me three symptoms, and I tell you what you are suffering from… But I like to create, to tell stories; it’s stronger than me,” the actor said.
