In reflecting upon the lives of these extraordinary individuals, it is truly astonishing to witness the diversity and depth of their journeys. From the silver screen to the boardroom, each has navigated their own path with grace, tenacity, and an undeniable flair for reinvention.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are seemingly loving life across the pond.
Despite numerous accounts suggesting they relocated to England following the election victory of President-elect Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, it seems Ellen and Portia are contentedly spending their days in England.
This past week, the pair ventured out for an evening date at The Farmer’s Dog pub in Burford, U.K., a popular spot known to be owned by British talk show host Jeremy Clarkson. Evidence of their visit was shared on the pub’s Instagram account.
In one scene from the November 13th video, Jeremy’s partner, Lisa Hogan, switched on the camera to reveal Arrested Development alum sitting next to a previous daytime star who offered a smile and a friendly wave to the camera. The footage also showcased Natalie Imbruglia, known for her hit “Torn,” enthusiastically singing along as The Corrs provided an acoustic performance. Additionally, James Blunt, famous for his song “You’re Beautiful,” was mentioned in the video caption.
Last night was fantastic at the pub with @thecorrsofficial! Just how a perfect pub evening ought to be – an acoustic performance, some delicious drinks, and wonderful companions.
Ellen, who is 66 years old, and Portia, aged 51, possess multiple properties across the United States. Notably, they own a residence in Montecito, California, which also houses well-known figures such as Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Oprah Winfrey. As per TheWrap and TMZ, this couple who tied the knot in 2008 are said to have moved from Montecito to the countryside of Cotswolds, England, and intend to put their Montecito property up for sale.
After stepping away from the limelight following the conclusion of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022, Ellen made a return to the scene with her alleged final comedy special on Netflix in September. In this performance, she humorously referred to being “kicked out” of show business, as well as addressing accusations concerning an allegedly toxic work environment at the show.
She’s a talk show host who’s also a comedian. At the end of each episode, she’d always remind everyone to ‘be kind to one another.’ In contrast, if she had closed her show with something like ‘have a nice day,’ people might have been surprised to learn that she’s actually a kind person.” (Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval)

Since the completion of Netflix’s 2019 series “V-Wars,” an actor known for his role in “The Vampire Diaries” hasn’t taken on a new character. Instead, this father of two (with wife Nikki Reed) has delved into a personal endeavor – tackling the issue of climate change by focusing on enhancing the quality of our planet’s soil as a passion project.
In an interview with TopMob News in November 2023, Somerhalder explained that he took a break from acting around four years ago to focus on family life, growing his businesses, and releasing the documentaries Kiss the Ground (2020) and its sequel Common Ground. These films highlight the importance of regenerative farming.
Speaking about the future, he said, “I envision myself as a rancher and creator of enduring brand names, be it my bourbon or health and wellness firm. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and sustainable soil management will also be integral, practices that our family and I hold dear. That’s where my journey is headed. So whenever someone asks ‘What motivates you?’ That’s why I am passionate. Because that’s who I am, that’s the path I’m choosing.
Actress who plays the lead in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has revealed her intention to temporarily step away from acting roles following two decades within the entertainment industry.
On Instagram, June 3, Evangeline expressed her feelings, saying, “Today I’m overflowing with joy and contentment as I live according to my vision. I am deeply grateful for all my blessings. Though choosing a path that appears unconventional (wealth and fame) might seem daunting at times, embracing your life’s purpose replaces fear with a sense of accomplishment.
However, she doesn’t definitely close the door on a possible future return to Hollywood. Instead, she expresses, “I may find myself back in Hollywood someday, but for now, this is where I feel at home.
In a captivating episode of her “Empty Inside” podcast, dated February 2021, the radiant iCarly alum revealed to my beloved Anna Faris that she made the conscious decision to step away from acting a few years prior. Now, she’s immersed in the creative realms of writing, directing, and, of course, hosting her enchanting podcast. I, as an unapologetic fan, can hardly contain my excitement for her new ventures!
Jennette candidly shared that her acting background has left her with a sense of regret over past roles as she expressed in her 2022 memoir titled “I’m Glad My Mom Died”. She admitted to having resentment towards her career, feeling underwhelmed by the characters she portrayed. To her, these roles seemed cheesy and embarrassing. She began acting at age 13 and continued until she was 21, but even by the time she turned 15, she felt ashamed of her work on Nickelodeon shows. She explained that her peers at 15 did not share in her excitement about being on these shows; instead, it was an embarrassment to them.
After penning my book, I now sense a possibility that I might delve into acting once more, albeit without the weighty baggage I’ve carried for so long. This could potentially happen if I craft a piece specifically for myself. I believe this might offer me an opportunity to tentatively re-embrace it again. (October 2022)
This seemed like a straightforward choice. If we had the opportunity to wed Prince Harry, devote our life to causes we deeply care about and also get a glimpse into the Queen’s magnificent tiara collection, giving up Hollywood might not seem so bad.
After following in the footsteps of Grace Kelly who transitioned from Hollywood to the Palace of Monaco, Meghan Markle relinquished her home in Toronto and her prominent role on Suits, embarking on a new life within The Firm. However, having relinquished their senior roles, she is gradually re-entering the professional world through strategic business decisions such as their multi-year production deal with Netflix.
Since her acting debut in the 1994 film “The Mask”, she has been involved in over 40 movies. By the time filming ended on “Annie” in 2014, it was high time for a break. In an interview with friend Gwyneth Paltrow, she shared her reasoning: “I felt like I wanted something different from my life.” She had given so much of herself to her career, working tirelessly on films for such a long time. Making a movie is demanding – they essentially take control of your life. You’re required to be there for 12 hours a day, often for months at a stretch, leaving little room for anything else.
As a dedicated follower, there is still much more I yearn to delve into, such as expanding my literary journey (having built upon my 2013 New York Times best-seller “The Body Book” with the publication of “The Longevity Book” in 2016). Additionally, embarking on a family life with my husband, Benji Madden, has been another exciting chapter. However, I admitted to InStyle magazine in 2019 that I do not miss performing at the moment, as I am focusing on the realm of wellness. Yet, it appears there might be an opportunity for at least one exceptional comeback.
In conversation with TopMob News, Jamie Foxx expressed his fervent request by saying, “We humbly asked and appealed to her, almost like, ‘Could you do it one more time for the fans?'” Regarding the upcoming Netflix film Back in Action, he added, “She’s a cherished talent that we’ve longed for, and this collaboration is going to be nothing short of extraordinary.
The actor firmly declared that there would be no additional performances following his five-year stint on Empire. When Extra questioned him about his future before the musical drama series’ sixth and final season in 2019, he simply stated, “I’ve had enough of acting. I’m done with pretending.
Despite going back for a few film projects, he declared his intention to retire from acting once more during the promotion of his Peacock series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, in 2022. In simple terms, he conveyed to ET that he’s reached a stage where he believes he has given the best performances as an actor he can offer. Now, he is contentedly observing emerging talent and prefers not to mimic his own past performances.
After King Joffrey’s shockingly abrupt demise in 2014, the 21-year-old actor decided to step away from acting. Speaking with EW, he shared that he had been acting since he was eight years old and no longer found it as enjoyable as before.
Initially, acting was more of a pastime and a source of joy shared with friends, but now that he’s considering it as a career, some of the charm has faded. As he put it, “Previously, it was something I did for fun or during our free time together, or simply to pass the summer days pleasantly. But now, there’s the possibility of making it my profession. It’s still enjoyable, but when you turn a hobby into a job, the dynamics shift. It’s not that I despise it; it’s just not what I aspire to do.
However, following a hiatus of six years, he prepared himself to regain his position and re-entered the spotlight in 2020 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 Kevin Kline. To balance their work schedules and care for their children, Owen and Greta (now known as Frankie Cosmos), they decided to take turns working so that they would never be working simultaneously, as Kevin shared in an interview with Playboy.
In other words, whenever it was Phoebe’s turn to work, she opted to stay with the children instead. Notably, she briefly appeared in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 independent film titled “The Anniversary Party,” but she primarily focuses on running her New York City boutique named Blue Tree.
During the peak of his fame from “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” the ’80s actor chose to leave filmmaking shortly after his wife’s death due to breast cancer in 1991, dedicating himself instead to raising his children Rachel and Mitchell.
Despite not taking on a live-action role since 1997, and turning down a cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, he continues to be an adored cultural figure, as demonstrated by the public uproar following news reports about him being assaulted while walking in New York City on October 1st.
It’s great news for fans, as he will be back on screen, joining forces with Josh Gad, in the upcoming Disney remake titled “Shrunk”.
After marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, the notable actress from “Never Been Kissed” suggested that she might be moving away from movies. She explained to Vogue that a large proportion of acting roles require explicit scenes with others, which she is not comfortable doing. She likened these scenes to playing with an intense fire, and while her relationship could handle it, there should be something extraordinary waiting on the other side for such a risk.
In the year 2014, when my son Martin joined forces with my older daughter Louisanna, it became clear to me that my path had shifted. At a 2016 event, I shared with Us Weekly, “I’ve stepped away from movie endeavors; now, I am simply a mom and an observer.” My days are filled with assisting Kimmel in his ventures and indulging in painting on the side. Primarily, it is my children who consume my attention. This change, I believe, is the primary reason for my departure from the limelight.
She had previously watched shows like Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development, and Scandal. It then struck her that perhaps it was time for her to take a new step.
In her interview on Ellen DeGeneres’ self-titled talk show in 2018, she expressed that at the age of 45, she found herself questioning if there was something new and difficult that she could take on. She clarified that she had a good idea of how her acting career would progress for the next decade or two, so she decided to step away from it all and start a business instead.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into my ongoing project, General Public, a unique blend of consumer and art. Now, there’s only one final piece left to complete and polish before it’s ready for the world to see and appreciate.
I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the genius behind “Arrested Development,” and shared that if there is a fifth season, I won’t participate due to my decision to quit acting. He appeared genuinely sympathetic and completely comprehended my situation. We had an enjoyable conversation, and surprisingly, he included me in five episodes for the series.
To be fair, once you’ve won three Academy Awards, what’s left to accomplish? Shortly after receiving his sixth Oscar nod for his final film, 2017’s Phantom Thread, the thespian had his rep issue a statement informing fans that he “will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject.”
However, when he believed he had escaped, his son drew him back, as Focus Features declared in October 2024 that the Academy Award winner would perform in the movie titled “Anemone” which he co-wrote with his son Ronan Day-Lewis, who will also be directing it.
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 a PhD from MIT, and now she is working towards a law degree at Harvard Law School.
Moreover, not only did Bridgit accomplish something remarkable, but she also founded Northwood Space, a company dedicated to constructing ground-based satellite stations for transmitting and receiving data from space. In February 2023, she stepped into the role of CEO for this innovative brand.
