<p>Donald Sutherland insists he doesn&#8217;t expect to be offered starring roles now that he is 75.</p>
<p>The Don&#8217;t Look Now star doesn&#8217;t feel he is a victim of ageism in Hollywood, and reckons there aren&#8217;t many lead roles for men of his age.</p>
<p>Donald said: &#8220;I&#8217;m offered old roles. A 75-year-old guy is not going to be the star of a movie, not a lot. Maybe once.</p>
<p>&#8220;But no, I get offered roles of old guys and guys who die.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actor plays Harry in new action film The Mechanic &#8211; a mentor to an assassin played by Jason Statham, who dies at the beginning of the film. Donald admits most of his characters don&#8217;t survive his movies these days.</p>
<p>He joked: &#8220;Harry doesn&#8217;t survive. Donald never survives.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he admitted he&#8217;d like to get a role in which he survives for once.</p>
<p>Donald said: &#8220;Please I would like to live all the way through &#8211; but regrettably my job in life now is, I&#8217;m 75, I come in and say how do you do I&#8217;m fine but I have a terminal disease. Cut.&#8221;</p>
<p>::The Mechanic is released in cinemas on January 28.</p>
