At 81, Plummer still relishing life

“It’s really contagious being around a 79-year-old man (during filming two years ago) that loves what he’s doing and isn’t taking it for granted,” says Mills. “There’s something really magical and special about that. Ewan and I both talked about that a lot, like, ‘Wow, I want to be like that.’”
Plummer has been working at a pace of about three films and a play every year. He co-stars in the highly anticipated “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” due out later this year, and is currently prepping roles in two films and one play (though he declines to name them).
Plummer says he relishes finding “new ways of simplifying things,” and is enjoying acting more than ever.
“It’s cliché, but you know that you have to,” he says. “You appreciate life much more because there’s so little of it left. I must say there’s a sort of panic, too, that takes over when you hit 80. Am I going to be able to do all the things that I want to do, starting now? Rather like Hal, in that respect, that he starts his life when it’s too late. But never too late because even five minutes is glorious.”
