Larry David Explains Why ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Is Ending For Real This Time
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Larry David is doubling down on the bittersweet fact that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is ending. However, when asked at the premiere why the show’s impending 12th season would be its last, he hilariously responded: “Because I said so.” “I’m not lying,” David told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet Wednesday in reference to baffled reactions. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic/Getty Images “I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be — the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” he wrote in December. Even his co-stars aren’t convinced, as David’s onscreen wife Cheryl Hines told the Reporter that David has vowed to retire “since Season 1.” David told Variety’s Marc Malkin, “Yeah I said it before but I wasn’t 76 when I said it.” While it seems this is the end, Susie Essman and Hines are satisfied with the conclusion — which David said he only cracked while filming “early on this season.” As for what his plans are for retirement, David couldn’t help himself.
