VIDEO : 'The Emoji Movie? Made Jordan Peele Quit Acting

According to Jordan Peele, it was a particular role that ?helped? him transition into a retirement from acting.
The detail bubbled up on Saturday night. The Get Out filmmaker collected this year?s First-Time Feature Film prize at the 70th annual Directors Guild of America Awards. In his acceptance speech, Peele recalled how the critically reviled animated film The Emoji Movie prompted him to step away from acting.
He said, ?I was offered the role of Poop ? this is true. I would not make this up.? he explained to his filmmaking peers. ?I was offered the role of Poop; I came back the next day, I said, ?Well, what are they offering?? And they said, ?Oh, well they?ve already given it to Sir Patrick Stewart.?"
