As I delve into the fascinating lives of these illustrious individuals, it becomes increasingly apparent that their careers are but a fraction of their rich and multifaceted existence. Each one has embarked upon a unique journey, marked by personal milestones and transformative experiences that have shaped them into the remarkable beings they are today.
Richard Gere‘s eldest son looks like he’s right up where he belongs: On the red carpet.
A few months back, Homer James Jigme Gere started attending significant film festivals with the star of “Officer and a Gentleman,” marking a shift after many years spent away from public attention. More recently, this 24-year-old seldom seen individual was spotted again, sharing the red carpet with his father at the debut of their latest collaboration, the Paramount+ suspense series titled “The Agency.
On November 21st, Richard, aged 75, and his son both donned identical black tuxedos. Accompanied by his wife Alejandra Silva, they graced the event taking place at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art together.
Homer, whose name honors Richard’s father and was once married to the actress who starred in “Pretty Woman,” Carey Lowell (known for her role on “Law & Order”), used to accompany his dad to various public outings such as basketball and baseball games, as well as the 2014 Giffoni Film Festival in Italy for children.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement! Last May, when Homer, my dear friend and fellow alumnus of Brown University (with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and visual art), graduated, Richard’s eldest son joined forces with his father at the dazzling 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Fast forward to September, our beloved actor graced us with Homer’s presence at the illustrious Venice Film Festival.
There’s a possibility that the limelight appearance wasn’t just by chance. Some time ago, Richard hinted that Homer was starting to emulate his path.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Spain, the actor shared his thoughts: “He’s also taken up acting lately. It seems he’s found an unexpected interest and appears to be enjoying it.” He added that they’ve discovered a mutual passion: “He’s been penning scripts and directing small films, so we have a new shared interest now.
The shining light of Chicago is also a father to Alexander (age 5), James (age 4), and Albert (age 11). These boys are shared with Alejandra, while Albert is her son from a previous marriage to Govind Friedland.
Richard recently shared that his family plans to move to her native Spain.
The actor, who married his Spanish wife in 2018, humorously remarked on a recent episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that since she’s been here for about seven years, we might be spending some time in Madrid in the future.
Richard added, “Our kids are bilingual, so they’re gonna flourish there.”
Read on to see which other celebs have left Hollywood…
Since the Netflix series “V-Wars” in 2019, an actor from “The Vampire Diaries” hasn’t taken on a new character. Instead, this father of two (alongside wife Nikki Reed) has dedicated his time to a personal endeavor – combating climate change by enhancing the quality of the world’s soil.
In an interview with TopMob News back in November 2023, Somerhalder explained that he took a break from acting more than four years ago to focus on his family, establish his businesses, and bring these films, specifically the 2020 documentary “Kiss the Ground” and its sequel “Common Ground,” to the public. These documentaries emphasize the importance of regenerative farming.
Speaking about the future, he stated, “I envision myself as a rancher and creator of enduring brand names, whether it’s my bourbon or my health and wellness business. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil management practices that our family practices will be integral to this journey. That’s where I see my life heading. So when people ask ‘Why are you so invested?’ That’s why I am – because it reflects who I am, the path I am choosing.
Actress who stars in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has decided to temporarily step away from acting following a career spanning two decades within the industry.
On June 3rd, Evangeline shared on Instagram: “I’m overflowing with joy and contentment today as I live my dream. I’m incredibly thankful for all my blessings. Sometimes abandoning what appears to be the logical path (wealth and fame) can feel daunting, but embracing your life’s purpose replaces fear with fulfillment.
However, it’s not a given that she is closing the door, since she also mentioned, “I could potentially go back to Hollywood someday, but for the moment, this is where I feel at home.
In an episode of her “Empty Inside” podcast from February 2021, the former iCarly star confided in guest Anna Faris that she had stopped acting a couple of years prior and was now pursuing ventures in writing, directing, as well as podcast hosting, in addition to these endeavors.
Jennette shared her feelings about acting, saying, “I’m deeply regretful of the roles I took on in my past.” She expressed frustration towards her career and felt unsatisfied with the characters she portrayed. She found them cheesy and cringe-worthy. From the age of 13 to 21, she was involved in various shows, but by the time she turned 15, she already felt embarrassed about it. Her peers at that age were not impressed by her Nickelodeon show; instead, it was something she found embarrassing.
Though she hasn’t ruled out a second act completely, she has expressed that writing the book has led her to consider acting in a different light. She mentioned during an interview with TopMob News in October 2022 that “I do feel like only through writing the book have I gotten to a place where I think there might be a way of exploring acting that doesn’t carry that baggage that I carried with me for so long.” She suggests that if she writes something specifically for herself, it could potentially pave the way for her to revisit acting again.
This seemed almost inevitable. If we had the chance to wed Prince Harry, devote our life to charitable endeavors that resonate deeply with us, and acquire entry to the Queen’s stunning array of tiaras, saying goodbye to Hollywood might not be such a hard decision.
After treading the same steps as Grace Kelly did from Hollywood to the Monaco Palace, Markle gave up her home in Toronto and her breakout role on Suits, venturing into a life within The Firm. However, following their relinquishment of senior roles, she is gradually re-entering the professional world through strategic business maneuvers such as their multi-year production deal with Netflix.
Since her acting debut in “The Mask” in 1994, the actress had been involved in more than 40 films. By the time filming ended for “Annie” in 2014, she felt it was high time for a break. As she confided in friend Gwyneth Paltrow, she yearned for different experiences in life. After working tirelessly for so long on films, it had become a grueling routine. Making a movie, she noted, meant giving the production full control over you – they owned your time for 12 hours a day, often for several months, leaving little room for anything else.
Beyond what she already delved into, there were numerous other areas she wished to investigate, such as continuing her writing journey (having published her 2013 New York Times bestseller “The Body Book” followed by “The Longevity Book” in 2016) and starting a family with husband Benji Madden. However, she expressed that she no longer missed performing in 2019, stating, “I’m currently exploring the realm of wellness.” Yet, it seems there might be an exception to this retirement, as hints suggest she could potentially make a comeback for one more performance.
In my conversation with TopMob News, I humbly implored and praised Cameron Diaz to join us once more for the highly anticipated Netflix production, “Back in Action”. With genuine affection, I’ve longed for her presence, and I truly believe this collaboration will be nothing short of extraordinary.
The actor made it clear that he wouldn’t perform an encore after wrapping up his five-year stint on Empire. In an interview with Extra prior to the sixth and final season of the musical drama series in 2019, he stated, “I’ve decided to retire from acting. I’m done playing roles.
Despite going back for a few roles in various projects, he declared his intentions to retire from acting during promotional activities for his Peacock series, The Best Man: The Final Chapters, in 2022. He explained to ET, “I’ve reached a stage where I feel I’ve given the absolute best of my abilities as an actor.” Now, he’s content with observing fresh acting talent emerge and doesn’t want to mimic his own past performances.
After King Joffrey’s unexpected, purple-faced demise in 2014, the then-21-year-old actor decided to retire from acting. In an interview with EW, he stated that he had been acting since the age of 8 and no longer found it as enjoyable as before.
Initially, acting was more of a pastime and a source of enjoyment among friends, but now it’s potentially my career. Previously, it was a fun activity during our leisure time or an enjoyable summer pursuit. Now, the shift from hobby to profession has altered my perspective towards it. It’s not that I dislike it, but it no longer aligns with what I want for myself.
Following a hiatus of six years, he felt prepared to continue his rule, and in 2020, he re-entered the scene by becoming part of the cast for BBC’s show titled “Out of Her Mind“.
In September 2020, when Jennifer Aniston played her role in a virtual table read for “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” she married fellow actor Kevin Kline in 1989. They decided to take turns working so that they would never be busy at the same time, allowing them to effectively care for their son Owen and daughter Greta (now known as Frankie Cosmos when performing).
In my expert opinion, when it’s been Phoebe’s turn for work, she has consistently chosen to spend that time with her children instead. Although I did share the screen with Jennifer Jason Leigh in the 2001 indie film “The Anniversary Party,” my primary focus lies with managing my New York City boutique, Blue Tree.
At the peak of his popularity with “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” the ’80s actor took a break from filmmaking not too long after his wife’s death due to breast cancer in 1991, devoting his time instead to raising his children Rachel and Mitchell.
Despite not taking on any live-action roles since 1997, and turning down a cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, he continues to be a cherished cultural figure. This is evident from the public reaction to news of an alleged assault against him while walking in New York City on October 1.
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with fellow fans – I’ll be back, joining forces with Josh Gad, in the upcoming Disney remake of “Shrunk”.
After marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, the prominent actress from “Never Been Kissed” seemed to indicate a potential move away from acting. In an interview with Vogue, she expressed that a large percentage of acting roles require explicit scenes with others, which she was not interested in participating in. She described acting as a peculiar flame to play with, and while her relationship could handle it, she noted that there needed to be something extraordinary on the other side if one were to walk through such fire.
Her resolve became firm when her son Martin joined her elder daughter Louisanna in 2014. In 2016, at an event for Us Weekly, she expressed, “I’ve stepped away from the film industry. Now, I’m just a mom and an outsider.” She also mentioned that she assists Kimmel with his business endeavors and occasionally paints as a hobby. Her primary focus, she added, is her children, which is likely the reason for her decision to stop working in films.
She watched “Ally McBeal,” followed by “Nip/Tuck.” Next, she moved on to “Arrested Development” and eventually “Scandal.” At this point, she felt she might be prepared for a change.
In 2018, she shared on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show that at age 45, she found herself pondering if there was something new and difficult she could undertake. Having a sense of what her acting career would look like for the next decade or two, she decided to step away from it all and start a business instead.
For her consumer-oriented art business, General Public, which was still under development, she only needed to complete one more artwork.
I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the genius behind “Arrested Development,” and informed him that if there is another season, I won’t be participating due to my decision to step away from acting. He was sympathetic and completely grasped the situation. We had an enjoyable chat, and later, he wrote a role for me into five episodes.
After winning three Academy Awards, one might wonder what else there is left to achieve. Shortly following his sixth Oscar nomination for his last film, “Phantom Thread” in 2017, the actor announced that he would no longer be pursuing acting roles. He expressed immense gratitude towards his collaborators and audiences over the years. This decision was personal, and neither he nor his representatives will provide further comments on this matter.
Initially believing he had moved on, it was when his son stepped in to draw him back, as Focus Features declared in October 2024 that the Academy Award winner would return to acting in “Anemone“, a film he co-wrote with none other than his son Ronan Day-Lewis, who will also be directing.
In 2018, the actress who was known for her role in “Good Luck Charlie” decided to step away from the limelight and focused on furthering her education instead. She earned a master’s degree from MIT and later completed a PhD at the same institution. Currently, she is also working towards a law degree from Harvard Law School.
Moreover, not only did Bridgit accomplish something remarkable, she further established her own venture, Northwood Space, focusing on constructing earth-based satellite stations for transmitting and receiving spatial data, assuming the role of CEO for the company starting from February 2023.
