Michael Gambon Retires from Theater Acting Due to “Frightening” Memory Loss – Michael Gambon has announced his retirement from theater acting after admitting that he can’t remember lines anymore.

In an interview with the Sunday Times Magazine, Gambon, 74, revealed that learning scripts takes him longer and that he quickly forgets them. Gambon said “It’s frightening.”

Gambon put his forgetfulness down to his age and worried that it was a sign of Alzheimer’s, but his doctors have given him the all-clear.

The actor, who played Dumbledore in six Harry Potter films, admitted that he had recently resorted to using ear pieces to feed him lines. But his forgetfulness had become so pronounced that he realized six months ago it was time to bring down the curtain on a five-decade career in the theater, but he will continue with this film and TV career .
