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.
