He took the time to slather on plenty of sun cream onto his legs to protect him against the sun. 

Robert then worked up a sweat by climbing on board a water bike and peddling round the water.

He donned a white hat and a black life jacket for safety as he deftly steered the water bike around.

He announced his retirement in 2018 after a career spanning almost six decades with more than 41 appearances in films and 10 directing credits. 

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about his future, the twice married father-of-four said: ‘Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and (I’ll) move towards retirement after this because I’ve been doing it since I was 21.’

‘I thought, ‘Well, that’s enough’. And why not go out with something that’s very upbeat and positive?’
