Miles Teller sets the record straight about retirement plans post massive financial earn

Miles Teller reportedly has no plans to take a permanent vacation just yet.

Following the blockbuster acquisition of The Long Drink Company by the Mark Anthony Group earlier this week, Teller has opened up about how the reported $325 million deal will reshape his career behind the camera.

Despite holding a "minority stake" in the canned cocktail brand, the payout is significant enough to spark retirement rumors, which Teller was quick to shut down in a new sit-down with The Hollywood Reporter.

"I don’t really talk numbers," he began keeping the amount he is going to make with this deal strictly under wraps. 

"I was always taught that’s not in good taste," he explained.

Pivoting immediately to his acting career, he declared, "All I’ll say is that I’m not retiring from acting anytime soon."

However, he regarded the deal as "an opportunity to continue to scale", and shared that it may influence him to take a new direction. 

Showing his interest in producing and funding films about "underdog stories," he added, "I really like chip-on-the-shoulder characters, odds stacked against you - a person or a community. This gives me a lot of confidence to trust my instincts."

"I’ve been producing for the last several years. Certain actors can get movies made on different budgets. If you can say, 'Hey, I’m attached to this thing, let me find a director, and what actors do we like for this, do I have relationships with them?'

"So, it certainly helps," he concluded.
