As I delve into the lives of these remarkable individuals who once graced our screens with their exceptional talents, it’s fascinating to observe how they’ve navigated their paths beyond the limelight. It seems that the allure of Hollywood wasn’t enough to keep them forever bound; instead, they chose to follow their passions and explore uncharted territories.
Richard Gere is saying adios to Hollywood.
Indeed, the Runaway Bride star shared his plans to move to Spain with wife Alejandra Silva and their family, playfully telling Jimmy Fallon that their relocation is “world news.”
The actor playfully said, “My wife is Spanish and I wondered if that might cause any issues for anyone here?” on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Nov. 20, causing some audience members to react with surprise. “I’ll definitely return!” he added jovially.
The 75-year-old went on to say, “My wife is from Spain and she’s given me around seven years in this country. So, we plan to spend a few years living in Madrid.
The pair who got married in 2018 have sons Alexander, aged 5, and James, aged 4, along with Homer, aged 24, whom Richard shares with his former wife Carey Lowell, and Albert, aged 11, from Alejandra’s marriage to Govind Friedland. Although they live far from their home in America, the actor known for “An Officer and a Gentleman” provided a convincing argument that this move would facilitate an easy transition for the family.
“Our kids are bilingual,” he added, “so they’re gonna flourish there.”
Richard further teased his wife’s big plans for their new home as they’ll be closer to her family.
Being part of an expansive Spanish clan, much like a bustling Italian one, is something my wife was raised in, and I’ve come to realize. Her beloved abuelita, essentially the family’s backbone, sadly departed about a year and a half ago, or two years if you count from now. Yet, I can’t help but notice my wife gradually stepping into her grandmother’s shoes in this sprawling family. She’s already meticulously planning for no less than 35 relatives to gather for our Sunday lunches.
Earlier this year, the Pretty Woman star shared insight into how he feels about the big move.
Speaking with Vanity Fair Spain in April, he expressed that his upcoming trip to Madrid would be an exciting journey for him because he’s never lived full-time outside the U.S. He also mentioned that it would likely be intriguing for his kids as well. For Alejandra, this move will offer a wonderful opportunity to reunite with her family, longtime friends, and immerse herself in her cultural roots.
Without a doubt, Richard isn’t the only celebrity to leave behind the City of Angels. Continue reading to discover other stars who’ve bid farewell to Hollywood’s dazzling limelight.
Since his appearance in Netflix’s 2019 series, “V-Wars”, the actor from “The Vampire Diaries” hasn’t taken on a new character yet. Instead, this father of two (married to Nikki Reed) has delved into a personal endeavor – tackling climate change by focusing on improving our planet’s soil.
About four years ago, I took a break from acting to focus on my family and my businesses, and also to see these two documentaries – ‘Kiss the Ground’ from 2020 and its sequel ‘Common Ground’ – through to release,” Somerhalder explained in an interview with TopMob News in November 2023. Both films emphasize the importance of regenerative farming.
Speaking about the future, he said, “I see myself as a rancher and a creator of enduring brand names, whether it’s my bourbon or my health and wellness company. My commitment to regenerative agriculture and soil management for health will also be part of this journey, something our family has always followed. This is the path I am choosing. So when others ask ‘Why do you take such interest?’ That’s why – it’s who I am and where I’m headed.
Actress who stars in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” has decided to temporarily step away from her career in acting, following two decades of work within the film industry.
On Instagram, June 3, Evangeline expressed her happiness and contentment, stating “I’m overflowing with joy today as I live according to my dream.” She is incredibly thankful for her blessings. Sometimes abandoning what appears to be the logical path (wealth and fame) can seem daunting, but embracing your life’s purpose replaces those fears with a sense of completion.
However, she doesn’t definitively close the door on a possible return to Hollywood. She also mentioned, “One day, I may find myself back in Hollywood, but for now, this place feels like home to me.
In a 2021 episode of her “Empty Inside” podcast, the former iCarly star shared with guest Anna Faris that she chose to step away from acting several years ago and has since been pursuing ventures in scriptwriting and directing, as well as podcast hosting.
Jennette shared her feelings about her acting career, saying “I’m deeply sorry for the roles I took on in my past,” as she described in her 2022 memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died. She expressed resentment towards her career and felt underwhelmed by the characters she portrayed. She found them cheesy and cringeworthy, and even at age 15, she was already ashamed of being on the shows she did from age 13 to 21. Her peers at that age didn’t view it as cool; instead, they found it embarrassing.
Initially hesitant about returning to acting, she expressed in an interview with TopMob News last October that writing a book has led her to consider possibilities for revisiting acting without the weighty past experiences that had held her back. If she were to write something specifically for herself, that might open up an opportunity for her to tentatively delve into it once more.
This seemed almost self-evident. If we had the chance to wed Prince Harry, devote our life to causes that are close to our heart while also gaining entry to the Queen’s magnificent collection of tiaras, saying goodbye to Hollywood might not be such a hard decision.
After treading the same path as Grace Kelly who transitioned from Hollywood to the Palace of Monaco, Meghan Markle relinquished her Toronto residence and her notable role in Suits, embarking on a new life within The Firm. However, after their departure from senior roles, she’s gradually re-entering the business sphere through strategic moves like their multi-year production agreement with Netflix.
Since her debut in “The Mask” back in 1994, the actress had been involved in over 40 films. By the time filming ended on “Annie” in 2014, she felt it was high time for a break. In conversation with friend Gwyneth Paltrow, she shared that this decision was about seeking different experiences in life. After giving so much of herself to work, making films, and enduring the grueling process for long periods, she explained that it’s like they own you when you’re on a film set – you’re there for 12 hours a day, often for months without any time for anything else.
Beyond what she had already delved into, such as penning books (having published her 2013 New York Times bestseller “The Body Book” followed by “The Longevity Book” in 2016), and starting a family with spouse Benji Madden, there was much more she desired to discover. However, at that time, she stated to InStyle in 2019, “I don’t miss performing.” But it seems that the landscape of wellness might entice her for at least one comeback performance.
Jamie Foxx expressed to TopMob News that he had humbly requested and admired Diaz for the upcoming Netflix movie “Back in Action”. He stated, “We adore her, we’ve longed for her participation, and this will truly be exceptional.
The actor made it clear that there would be no further performances after completing his five-year stint on Empire, as reported by Extra during their interview with the Oscar nominee in 2019, ahead of the series’ final season. When asked about his future plans, he firmly stated, “I’ve had enough acting and pretending.
Despite coming back for a few productions, he announced his intentions to retire from acting while publicizing his Peacock series “The Best Man: The Final Chapters” in 2022. In an interview with ET, he expressed that he has already given the best he could as an actor. Now, he is content to observe emerging talents and doesn’t wish to mimic his own past performances anymore.
After my unexpected and purple-hued departure from the throne in 2014, at the tender age of 21, I shared with Entertainment Weekly that I was stepping away from acting. Having begun my career at the age of eight, I confessed that I simply wasn’t finding it as enjoyable as I once did.
Initially, acting was more of a pastime and a source of enjoyment for friends and fun during the summer. However, as he contemplates turning it into a career, some of the charm seems to fade away. He acknowledges that earning a living from something can alter its appeal; it’s not that he dislikes it, but it’s no longer his desired path.
After taking a hiatus of six years, I was eager to return and once again claim my place in the spotlight. In 2020, I was fortunate enough to rejoin the talented cast of BBC’s series “Out of Her Mind”.
In September 2020, during Jennifer Aniston’s role in a virtual table read for “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, she married Kevin Kline in 1989. They decided to coordinate their work schedules so they wouldn’t both be working at the same time, ensuring proper care for their son Owen and daughter Greta (now known as Frankie Cosmos in her music career).
In other words, whenever it was Phoebe’s turn to work, she opted to stay with the children instead. Despite appearing briefly in Jennifer Jason Leigh’s 2001 indie film “The Anniversary Party,” Cates primarily focuses her time on managing her New York City boutique Blue Tree.
During the peak of his popularity with “Ghostbusters” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” the ’80s actor took a break from filmmaking shortly after his wife’s death from breast cancer in 1991 to devote time to raising his children, Rachel and Mitchell.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must acknowledge that despite not appearing in a live-action role since 1997 and declining a cameo in Paul Feig’s 2016 Ghostbusters remake, he continues to be an adored cultural figure. This is evident in the public outcry following news reports about an alleged assault he experienced while strolling in New York City last October.
It’s great news for fans, as he will be back, joining forces with Josh Gad, in the upcoming Disney remake titled “Shrunk”.
After marrying fashion designer Adam Kimmel in 2010, the prominent actress from “Never Been Kissed” suggested that she might have moved away from acting. She clarified her thoughts to Vogue, stating, “Ninety percent of acting roles involve a lot of intimate scenes with other people, and I’m not interested in participating in that.” She further added, “It’s a peculiar flame to play with, and our relationship is robust enough to endure it. However, if you’re going to walk through a fire, there should be something extraordinary waiting on the other side.
Her resolve became firm when her son Martin joined her older daughter Louisanna in 2014. This decision led her to step away from movie-related activities, as she now considers herself more of a bystander. “I am simply a mom and an observer,” she expressed to Us Weekly at a 2016 event. She assists Kimmel with his business endeavors and enjoys painting on the side. Her main focus, she explained, is her children, which is the primary reason for her decision to stop working in movies.
She had watched “Ally McBeal”, followed by “Nip/Tuck”. Then, she moved on to “Arrested Development” and ultimately “Scandal”. At some point, the Australian decided it might be time for a change.
In her appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show in 2018, she shared that she was nearing 45 and found herself questioning if there was something new and difficult that she could take on. She had a sense of what her acting career might look like for the next decade or two, so she decided to step away from it all and start a business instead.
For her business, General Public (the consumer-oriented art company), she had only one final artwork left to complete, as it was still a work in the making.
I reached out to Mitch Hurwitz, the brain behind “Arrested Development,” and shared with him that if there’s a fifth season, I wouldn’t participate as an actor due to my decision to quit acting. He appeared empathetic and completely grasped the situation. We had a delightful chat, and later on, he included me in no less than five episodes.
After winning three Academy Awards, one might think there isn’t much left to achieve in acting. Following his sixth Oscar nomination for the film “Phantom Thread” in 2017, the actor announced through his representatives that he would no longer be pursuing roles as an actor. He expressed deep gratitude towards his collaborators and audience throughout his career. This decision is personal and neither he nor his team will provide further comments on this matter.
However, when he believed he had moved on, his son managed to draw him back into the fray. In October 2024, it was revealed by production company Focus Features that the Oscar winner would not only star in Anemone, but also co-wrote and will be directed by none other than his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
In 2018, the actress who was well-known for her role on “Good Luck Charlie” decided to step away from the public eye and focus instead on furthering her education. She completed a master’s degree and later a PhD at MIT. Currently, she is also working towards a law degree from Harvard Law School.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that Bridgit didn’t just stop there – she established her personal venture, Northwood Space, an innovative company focused on constructing ground-based satellite stations for transmitting and receiving data from space. In fact, she took the role of CEO of this enterprise in February 2023.
