Subject of Tony Jaa considering quitting the movie business

I know I haven't read too much about rumors about Tony Jaa thinking about quitting making movies. But I believe Tony Jaa burn himself out when he made Ong Bak 2 and 3 as the lead and director. Under the pressure of acting, directing, staging fight scenes, and getting nagged by the studio. I think that push anyone to wanting to quit or walk off the film set. I think Tony Jaa needs to take break to get himself recharged. For the most part he owes himself to take it easy for a little bit before getting back making movies again. I hate to see him go so soon in his career.

But not for a few years at least. Also he may be a bit out of practice

Take a break!?!?!?!?!? He hasn't been in enough movies! He needs to take a break from directing, or just stop. Haven't seen Ong-Bak 3 yet, but 1 was way better than 2.

And two was wayy better than three, sadly.
