Reflecting upon these illustrious careers, I am struck by the profound journey each of these individuals has undertaken. From the silver screen to the boardroom, from the stage to academia, and even venturing into space – their lives are a testament to the infinite possibilities that lie within us all.
As soon as life started speeding up for Amanda Seyfried, she was ready to slow it down.
Before she became a mother or started dating her future husband, Thomas Sadoski, the star of “Mamma Mia!” purchased a home in the small town of Stone Ridge, upstate New York, in 2013. The reason for this purchase wasn’t just because it was a charming location; it also seemed like an ideal place to bring up a family.
In early 2015, Seyfried shared her desire for having children with Vogue, following the completion of renovations on her recently acquired property. She expressed a preference for enrolling her future kids in local schools, as there are some excellent institutions nearby. She envisioned her life to remain much the same, but with reduced stress and workload.
Regretfully, she continues to be sought-after, even though she has strategically opted for quality over quantity. She received an Emmy for her role as the disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes in “The Dropout” and was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her performance as Marion Davies in the 2020 film “Mank”.
But the rest of Seyfried’s plan unfolded accordingly, as if she had ESPN or something.
39-year-old actress, born on December 3rd, has a 7-year-old daughter named Nina and a 4-year-old son called Thomas with Sadoski. They first met in 2015 while co-starring in Neil LaBute’s play “The Way We Get By” off-Broadway.
Since she resided close to excellent schools at the time of their wedding in 2017, there was no necessity for any relocation.
In an interview with Forbes in November, Seyfried expressed that choosing to stay at her current residence, which is inhabited by three people and various animals, approximately two hours from Manhattan, was the optimal choice for tranquility, seclusion, and immersion in nature. She stated that this location provides a more harmonious lifestyle compared to what the city offers.
The family continues to have their Australian Shepherd, Finn (now 15 years old), who has been a consistent presence in Seyfried’s life during times of change and instability in her career.
In his twenties during Hollywood, Seyfried shared that having Finn (his pet) at home kept him feeling connected to reality and grounded. He now expresses that his pets, in general, provide the balance he needs.
In 2016, the actress mentioned that she and Sadoski intended to acquire a goat and a pig, stating, “They’ll grow up together,” implying minimal issues. At the time, they were already caring for four chickens, a rooster, and two recently saved cats.
Moreover, Seyfried was already enamored with the rural-style living, expressing her affection for the quaint shopping center and homely atmosphere.
She mentioned, “There’s a Dunkin’ Donuts and a reflexology spot,” she said. “The grocery store stands out too, it’s like a quaint small-town market. There’s always something going on locally. Then I head to the farm stand. Everything there is locally sourced. But I also have my own garden.
Significantly, even though she’s eager about potential future projects such as “Mamma Mia 3,” her focus on living away from city life means she can handle work commitments in Hollywood without feeling overly stressed when they arise.
She shared with Forbes that having a tranquil living space allows her to adapt more easily to the fast-paced city life, the energetic atmosphere of press events, and the lively set environment.
When Amy Seyfried needs to reside in the city, she shared with House Beautiful in October, her apartment (which was quite neutral before) has been lively with her daughter’s artwork. Prior to becoming a mom, her color scheme was predominantly blacks, whites, and grays; however, after having children, she felt compelled to venture beyond her comfort zone and discovered a fondness for vibrant shades like pinks and neons.
She could do without any color on her white kitchen cabinets, though, noting that “if you drip spaghetti sauce on it or even water or coffee, you got to clean it up right away. But nobody is as focused on the cabinets as I am. And that’s okay. I do not fault that, to each their own.”
In a frank discussion, Seyfried openly shared her battles with anxiety and OCD. She confided in Allure that there are instances when she experiences intense self-doubt, questioning why people would be intrigued enough to take her photograph.
But she does like the dressing-up part of the business, when so much of the picture-taking happens.
In an interview with Vogue in 2015, Seyfried described the red carpet as “overly flashy and artificial,” but she admitted that she still gets a thrill when she dons her selected evening gown because it boosts her confidence. Such is the transformative power of fashion.
Since 2019, she has served as the public figure for Givenchy and Miu Miu, and also a global ambassador for Lancôme. For this year’s Met Gala, she requested an eco-friendly appearance, which led her to wear a silver Prada dress made from materials originally used in their spring 2009 collection.
According to TopMob News at the gala, Seyfried expressed that her team is given a lot of freedom, saying, “I allow them to express themselves as they wish.” She further explained, “As artists, they are creative individuals. I am more like a model, here to present their work. Tonight is about enjoying and celebrating each person’s unique contributions.
She also finds it more enjoyable to attend events since she can look forward to returning home the following day, immersed in her usual happiness amidst the mud while tending to her farm animals, as she shared with Forbes.
Because she prevents her children from using social media, it is the animals that supply the heartwarming content for her 6.1 million Instagram followers, even though Nina and Thomas are symbolically present in those photos.
Friend stated, “They’re already grasping the importance and care required when nurturing pets, even at such tender ages.” Friend further added, “I believe that pets provide us with a sense of purpose. Given how significantly they enhance our lives, it falls upon us to ensure their welfare – this involves taking charge of their health and well-being.
It’s a reasonable arrangement, given that managing her health and wellness is far simpler for Seyfried on the farm where she resides, which she considers as home.
Not only Seyfried, but many other actors also find that being away from Hollywood, either geographically or symbolically, intensifies their feelings of affection when they are not in front of the camera. Here are some stars who have taken a break from showbiz to ensure authenticity in their off-camera lives:
Since the 2019 Netflix series “V-Wars”, an actor formerly known from “The Vampire Diaries” hasn’t taken on a new character. Instead, this father of two (with wife Nikki Reed) has dedicated himself to a personal project: fighting climate change by enhancing the quality of our soil.
I took a break from acting more than four years ago to focus on raising my children, growing my businesses, and releasing these films,” Somerhalder shared with TopMob News in November 2023, discussing the launch of the 2020 documentary ‘Kiss the Ground’ and its sequel ‘Common Ground.’ These documentaries highlight the importance of regenerative farming.
As he gazes toward the future, he explained, “I see myself as a rancher and creator of enduring brand names, be it my bourbon or my health and wellness enterprise. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil management for health will remain a cornerstone, one that my family and I uphold. This is the path I’m walking. So when someone asks ‘Why are you invested?’ – that’s why I am. Because this is who I am, this is where my journey leads.
Actress who stars in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has revealed her decision to step away from acting for an undetermined period, following two decades in the entertainment business.
On June 3rd, I penned on Instagram: “Overwhelmed by joy and contentment today as I walk my chosen path. I’m deeply thankful for my blessings. Sometimes, stepping away from the apparent best choice (wealth and fame) can be daunting, but embracing your life purpose replaces those fears with a sense of fulfillment.
However, it’s not a certainty that she’s closing the door on this. She mentioned, “There’s a possibility I could go back to Hollywood someday, but for the moment, this is where I feel at home.
In February 2021, during her “Empty Inside” podcast episode, the former iCarly star revealed to guest Anna Faris that she had chosen to step away from acting several years prior. Now, she’s pursuing ventures in writing, directing, and podcast hosting alongside her other endeavors.
In my memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, published in 2022, I candidly shared my feelings about my acting career. To be honest, I harbor a great deal of regret for the roles I took on earlier in my career. I find myself resenting my profession in many aspects. The characters I portrayed left me feeling deeply unsatisfied and, in retrospect, incredibly cheesy and embarrassing. By the time I was 15, I already felt a sense of embarrassment about the shows I was on, which I had been a part of from age 13 to 21. My peers at 15 didn’t react with envy, saying ‘Oh, cool, you’re on this Nickelodeon show.’ Instead, it was more like an awkward moment of embarrassment for me.
Although she hasn’t definitively ruled out a return to acting, her recent statements suggest that writing a book has given her an opportunity to reconsider acting in a way that doesn’t burden her with past experiences. She expressed this idea during an interview with TopMob News in October 2022, hinting that if she writes something specifically for herself, it could potentially open the door for her to revisit acting again.
This seemed almost self-evident. If we had the chance to wed Prince Harry, devote our life to the philanthropic initiatives that are most meaningful to us, and acquire access to the Queen’s extraordinary collection of tiaras, saying goodbye to Hollywood might not be such a hard decision.
I, much like Grace Kelly before me, chose to leave my life in Toronto, giving up not only my home but also my breakthrough role on Suits, to embark on a new journey akin to The Firm. However, after relinquishing our senior roles, I am now cautiously returning to the business world by making strategic moves such as our multi-year production deal with Netflix.
Since her debut in “The Mask” back in 1994, the actress had appeared in over 40 films. By the time filming ended on “Annie” in 2014, she felt it was high time for a break. As she put it to friend Gwyneth Paltrow, she yearned for something different in her life. She had given so much of herself to her work, making films after film, and it was exhausting. When you’re working on a movie, the production essentially takes over your life – you’re there for 12 hours a day, day after day, for months on end, leaving little time for anything else.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, there are still countless avenues I yearn to delve into, such as my continued journey in writing, expanding upon my 2013 New York Times best-seller “The Body Book” with the publication of “The Longevity Book” in 2016. Additionally, I’ve embarked on an exciting new chapter of life as a wife to Benji Madden. Though I recently shared with InStyle magazine in 2019 that I no longer miss performing and am instead focusing on the realm of wellness, it seems that the allure of the stage could potentially draw me back for one final performance.
Jamie Foxx expressed to TopMob News that he had humbly requested and shown admiration towards Cameron Diaz for agreeing to star in the upcoming Netflix film “Back in Action”. He shared, “We’ve always adored her, we’ve long awaited her return, and this collaboration is going to be nothing short of extraordinary.
The actor made it clear that there wouldn’t be another performance following his five-year stint on Empire, as reported by Extra when they asked him about his plans for the future before the musical drama series ended in 2019. When queried about acting and pretending, he simply stated, “I’ve had enough. I’m finished.
Despite returning for a few projects, he once more expressed his intention to retire from acting during promotions for the Peacock series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, in 2022. In conversations with ET, he stated, “I’ve reached a stage where I’ve given my best as an actor. Now, I’m delighting in observing fresh talents emerge, and I don’t wish to imitate myself.
After King Joffrey’s sudden, purple-faced demise in 2014, the then 21-year-old actor decided to quit acting. As he shared with EW, he had been acting since he was 8 years old. However, he confessed that he no longer found it as enjoyable as he once did.
He had outgrown his days as a child actor, and the initial charm had faded. Earlier, it was merely a pastime shared with friends or a summer activity for fun. However, now there’s the possibility of making a career out of it. As he explained, “I still enjoyed it. But when you turn your passion into a profession, things change. It’s no longer just what I want to do.
However, following a hiatus of six years, he prepared himself to reclaim his position and, in the year 2020, he returned to acting by becoming part of the cast for BBC’s show titled Out of Her Mind.
In 1989, Jennifer Aniston, who played the dream girl in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, married actor Kevin Kline. They decided to take turns in their work schedules so they wouldn’t both be working at the same time, as shared by Kevin with Playboy. This arrangement allowed them to balance their careers and care for their children, Owen and Greta (now known as Frankie Cosmos in her singing career).
Regarding Phoebe, when it was her turn to work, she consistently chose to stay with the children instead. While she briefly appeared in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 indie film “The Anniversary Party,” Cates primarily spends her time running her New York City boutique called Blue Tree.
In the midst of his popularity from “Ghostbusters” and the TV show “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”, the ’80s actor chose to leave movie-making not too long after his wife’s death due to breast cancer in 1991, preferring instead to concentrate on nurturing his children Rachel and Mitchell.
Despite not appearing in any live-action roles since 1997 and turning down a cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, he continues to be a beloved cultural figure, as demonstrated by the uproar that followed news of his alleged assault while walking in New York City on October 1.
It’s great news for fans as he’s set to make a triumphant comeback, sharing the screen with Josh Gad in the upcoming Disney remake, “Shrunk”.
After marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, Drew Barrymore suggested that she might be moving away from acting. In an interview with Vogue, she explained, “Ninety percent of acting roles require a lot of intimate scenes with others, and I’m not interested in participating in that. It’s a strange flame to play with, and our relationship is robust enough to endure it, but if you’re going to walk through fire, there should be something extraordinary waiting on the other side.
Her resolution became firm when her son Martin followed in the footsteps of his older sister Louisanna in 2014. In a conversation with Us Weekly at a 2016 event, she expressed that she no longer engages in movie-related activities and now considers herself solely as a mom and an outsider. She mentioned that she assists Kimmel in his business ventures and spends her spare time painting. Her primary focus is now on her children, which is the main reason for her decision to step away from the spotlight.
She had watched Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development, and Scandal. It occurred to her then that perhaps she was prepared for a change.
2018 found me at the brink of turning 45, and I couldn’t help but ponder: is there an adventure, something entirely novel, that I could embark on now? This thought crossed my mind while appearing on Ellen DeGeneres’ namesake talk show. With a sense of acting’s trajectory for the next decade or two already sketched out in my mind, I chose to take a bold leap and leave it behind. Instead, I decided to dive headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship.
She still had one more item to complete on her ongoing project at her consumer-oriented art company, General Public.
I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the brain behind ‘Arrested Development,’ expressing that if there is a fifth season, I wouldn’t participate as an actor since I’ve retired from acting. He appeared sympathetic and fully grasped my situation. We had a wonderful chat, and later on, he included me in five episodes.
After bagging three Academy Awards, one might wonder what significant achievements are left for him to conquer. Following his sixth Oscar nomination for his last film, “Phantom Thread” (2017), the actor made a surprising announcement through his representative that he has decided to retire from acting. He expressed deep gratitude towards all his collaborators and audiences over the years. This decision is personal, and neither the actor nor his team will provide further comments on this matter.
However, when he believed he had moved on, his son drew him back, with Focus Features revealing in October 2024 that the Academy Award winner would take on a role in “Anemone“, a film co-written by none other than his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, who will also helm the project.
In 2018, the actress who was known for her role in “Good Luck Charlie” decided to step away from the limelight and instead focused on furthering her education. She completed a master’s degree and later earned a PhD from MIT. Currently, she is also working towards a law degree at Harvard Law School.
Moreover, not only did Bridgit achieve something remarkable, but she additionally founded her company, Northwood Space, in 2023. This innovative venture is dedicated to constructing ground satellite stations that facilitate communication with space for data transmission. Bridgit assumed the role of CEO for this brand.
