Apparently, Patrick Stewart's dignity wasn't the only loss in 2017's The Emoji Movie. You can also thank the shameless cash-grab for Jordan Peele's early retirement from acting.

But while accepting the most recent award for best first-time director from Director's Guild of America over the weekend, he revealed exactly what pushed him over the edge.

Later, he followed up on exactly how much they were offering him in order to degrade himself to such an extent. But they'd already moved on: The esteemed Sir Patrick Stewart had already accepted the honor.
Peele's response to the news: "I was like, 'Fuck this.'"
