I doubt very much whether he will worry about what cant be, he will look at what can be. He has been very very succesful and is a legend in his own right as we know. He has a son in acting and I am sure he gets great strength in that knowledge.
Having watched most of the greats over the years, I sometimes feel sad at now watching them as "old" men and not as the younger. I find myself visualising their youth. I quite honestly wouldnt like to see Gary in anything other than what he has been so maybe now is the time for that part of his life to just fold but it certainly wont be a failure.
With James, he has put on weight most definitely, he wont be as sprightly as he was but he is younger than Gary, so what is he going to do? (Remember I am generalising and not bitching). He wont be able to retire gracefully as he will need to make his way in the world and collect the dollars. For his own sake I feel he has to find a way of controlling his ego and to recognise that others do have truths. It isnt always good to be upfront, especially if he cannot accept others criticisms and resorts to verbal abuse. He has a lot to think about, hopefully when he looks back over and weighs the pros and cons of public criticism, he will appreciate the positivity of all things and not dwell on the negativity, it just builds up bitterness. He has an awful lot to think about but hopefully he will consider the benefits.

I agree with most of what you say, I maybe didn't put my point over clearly. I am certain Gary would have preferred a starring role in a movie rather then BB and the money. James future will possibly be limited and not sure if BB has done him any favours. My preference for him to win is purely a respect for the person I believe I would prefer to spend time with in the house
