Rick Moranis had an understandable reason for leaving Hollywood, in that his children needed him after his wife died. I hope that he'll eventually pop up in a mainstream project soon.

Leaving Hollywood to take care of his kids is the most noble thing ever. Rick Moranis focused on taking care of his children after his wife passed, he’s a good dad.

Gene Hackman retired around the age of 70. You know, he is 94 years old.

We can skip Steven Seagal.

Rick Moranis leaving Hollywood, aside from some voice over work, take take care of his kids after his wife died of cancer was very noble. I was very cute that he made a big deal about him showing up on social media and commercials in 2017 to let people know that he's not dead.

I would’ve put Greta Garbo at #1 and she’s not even on this list, she famously retired at age 35, she was the OG actor who left fame behind.

Steven Seagal didn't leave Hollywood, he was kicked out

the downfall of Steven Segal also had to do with how difficult he was to work with and his attitude towards others.

Audrey Hepburn deserves so much more acclaim, not just as an actress, but as a human and humanitarian. She has done so much for Unicef that so many people simply have no clue about. She was an inspiration to humanity as a whole. Even in her early years she showed this side, distributing illegal (in the Germans view) newspapers for Dutch underground during the occupation by Germany in World War 2.

Mad respect for Rick Moranis. Not only did he raise his children after his wives untimely death, he cared for her while she was severely ill with cancer.

Bridget Fonda doesn't even look like Bridget Fonda Anymore...she's still one of my Favorite Fonda's(I can still watch "Point of no return" over & over till this day)Glad she seems happy with civilian life, good for her❤❤

How is Peter ostrum, Charlie from willy Wonka not on the list. He literally made one movie, said hollywood wasn't for me and walked away to become a vet despite his movie being a success

Hackman is in his 90s with decades of great work behind him. Surprised he didn't retire sooner. Moranis lost his wife and decided to concentrate on raising his family.

Oscar nominated Meg Tilly is another example. She left acting in 1993 (returning to it only briefly from 2010-2013), and became a successful writer. I met her at a writer's event and the thing that struck me most is how relaxed she was and how gracefully and naturally she was able to let herself grow into middle age, far from the exacting demands of the Hollywood spotlight.

Fun fact about Freddie Prinze Jr., he has actually straight out said that working on the show 24 almost made him completely quit acting. He said Kiefer Sutherland was so completely insufferable and unprofessional that he didn’t want to work in the industry anymore.

For Rick Moranis, his decision to leave Hollywood to raise his kids is very important to him!

Shirley Temple is literally Childstar success story I mean going from mega star to US Ambassador

I actually like Bridget Fonda's response: "It's too nice being a civilian." Also, you left out the fact that Jack Gleeson became a puppeteer in a theater company he started with friends in Ireland, something that he apparently quite enjoys.

Rick Morranis has Lord Dark helmet was epic!

angus t jones literally burned the bridge while he was standing on it.

Jack Gleeson made the right call by leaving Joffrey behind. If I had to write him a letter, it’d comprise praise for him and best wishes going forward.

Most of us 80s/90s kids can agree *Rick Moranis* is our favorite actor/dad on & off the screen. From *SpaceBalls* to *Ghostbusters* *Honey I Shrunk the Kids* to *Little Giants* 😊

Imagine getting your hair done by the woman from Hairspray.

Sean Connery was pretty much finished with major roles after The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Actually, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s disenchantment with acting allegedly came about because of his involvement with the TV series 24 during its last season in 2008. His difficulties with star Kiefer Sutherland were well known. It was around that time he decided to give up full-time acting.

Johnny Carson. At one point, he was the most famous person on the planet. When he retired from the Tonight Show, he left the fame behind.

I think in the case of Steven Seagal, it was fame that left him behind

There's one actress who wasn't mentioned, Bridget Wilson. She was in Billy Madison and in the Mortal Kombat movie as Sonya Blade.

Grace Kelly should be at the top of the list, she had Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant literally begging her to keep acting, but she turned it down to become a real life princess. That's a far more interesting story than any others on this list.

bridget fonda was not in the godfather part 2

The "fans" were so mean to Jack Gleeson, so many of them couldn't separate the actor from the role and send a barrage of hate toward the poor boy. No surprise he no longer liked the role of Joffrey. Almost the same thing that happened to Jake Lloyd.

I am so glad Bridget Fonda is on the list. I've been a long time fan of her and her late father Peter since my childhood.

Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) - I feel like this was a lose-lose situation for him. The better acting he did, the more people hated him and I'm sure a lot of that hate bled through to his real life. I wouldn't be surprised if he was type cast too since he did such a good job at being the bad guy.

I remeber being so obsessed with Bridget Fonda in my teens I just loved the way she walked her long legs always made her seem like she was floating and her pretty eyes and nose always blew me away. Her voice and her acting was all just so charming and sweet... so sad a tragic accident happened to her

While maybe not as famous as the band's lead singer at the time, Bill Berry from R.E.M. quit the band to live and work on his farm in Georgia after a brain aneurysm nearly killed him. He has recently expressed some regret about the choice because he felt like he let the band down, but I'm sure anyone would question priorities and safety after such a scare.

Fonda was 9 years old during filming for Godfather II fyi. She was in Godfather III.

Couple of these are a stretch. Steven Segal being the biggest one. He appeared in movies until 2019, and was basically kicked out of America because of his ties to Vladimir Putin.

My favorite Bridget Fonda movie is and will always be Lake Placid, sadly it wasn't included on here. Between her and Betty, they made that movie hilarious and I still pull it out randomly to this day and watch for a giggle.

Rick Moranis stepped away from fame for all the right reasons. He had enough money to take care of his family and wanted to devote his time to raising his kids following the death of his wife. A lot of actors put their career ahead of family and I have a lot of respect for someone who has their priorities in the correct order.

I'm surprised you left out Dolores Hart. She came to prominence costarring with Elvis Presley in Loving You, also costarred with him in Kid Creole, and did a number of other prominent movies such as Where the Boys Are. Then, at age 24 in 1963, as her star was still on the rise, she left it all behind to become a Benedictine nun.

The only person I really miss from this list is Daniel Day-Lewis.

I saw Michael Schoeffling around 20 years ago at an airport during a layover. Looked just the same as in the 80s, just a touch of gray at the temples.

To be fair to Daniel Day Lewis he does live a very quiet normal life. Met him many times before covid in Wicklow. Gent, locals don't bother him. His wife Rebecca is lovely lady too. Hope he comes back at some stage

Frankie Muniz has been doing a lot of Nascar races in some of the higher-up series over the last couple years. He's not bad.

Frankie Muniz is in Half Baked 2 which just released in 2024 😂😂

I remember hearing that Michael Schoeffling was considered for the role of Superman in the early 90's. This was right before Nicolas Cage was cast in the Tim Burton Superman movie that didn't happen.

You didn't include Jennette McCurdy, who wrote the book "I'm Glad My Mom Died". You should have included her. This is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to see what a lot of Hollywood children go through and why she turned her back on stardom. Disappointed you left her off.

14:40 it's worth mentioning that Freddie Prinze Jr. is also looking to open his own wrestling promotion

Angus Jones wants to come back to Hollywood as a baptized , observant Christian staying away from “filth”? What exactly is he going to do, star in Kirk Cameron movies?

As many have probably said already, in regard of Bridget Fonda, please do NOT confuse Godfather II and III as the other one is universally known as the best in the series and the other as rubbish.

I thought the thumbnail was clickbait...

I like that Frankie Muniz is mentioned here, but they forgot to mention the fact that he is literally a NASCAR driver.

Where are Greta Garbo and Grace Kelly on this list?

When i was a kid i fell in love with Bridgette Fonda ,what a beautiful Lady.I'm glad she is OK.

Y'know, they say that there is no 'Mary-Kate and Ashley' - it's just one person moving side-to-side REALLY fast.

leaving hollywood to take care of her kids is the most noble thing ever. phoebe cates focused on taking care of her children while her husband kept acting full time, she's a good mom. (tired of it being noble for men to do the same thing that is commonplace for women)

People not getting roles is not the same as them choosing not to do roles. Quitting and not being hired are not the same thing.

Yay Phoebe Cates! I’ve been a fan of her husband Kevin for quite a long time (since 19 December 2008 from Despereaux). And I met him, too, at the Mesa Arts Center when I was 16 going on 17 (exactly 2 weeks before my 17th birthday). He was the nicest man I’ve ever met. I’m looking forward to the disclaimer miniseries. I would love to visit the blue tree boutique if ever I visit New York again in the future.

I've been addicted to these videos... 🤣

Part of me felt while watching Suite Life That the writers had a strong bias for Cole over Dylan As they gave Cole’s character of Cody the more important storylines, particularly his relationship drama and relegated Dylan’s character of Zack to mostly comedic side plot It’s a shame, as I feel from a personality standpoint, Dylan/Zack outshined his brother

Whoa, what about Greta Garbo? Her most famous line is "I want to be alone."

I was going to say one you left out was Cameron Diaz, who retired from acting following 2014's Annie until you showed that ET clip. She actually has three upcoming films, including Shrek 5. You could have spent a whole segment on Grace Kelly instead of just mentioning her in passing. She made 11 films before leaving Hollywood behind to marry Prince Ranier of Monaco. Three of her films were directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who spent the rest of his career trying to find someone of her caliber. You could have included the three male children from Step by Step. Following that series, Brandon Call and Josh Byrne had no more acting credits, and Christopher Castle voiced a character in four episodes of a TV series. There's also Ted Wass, who played Mayim Bialik's father in Blossom. Following that series, he became a director and didn't appear on screen except for one episode of Bialik's third sitcom, Call Me Kat. Portia De Rossi has retired from acting and reluctantly reprised her role as Lindsay in Arrested Development.

I feel like Gene Hackman being 94 years old and lookin like death is around the corner might be why you don't see much from him.

if Rick Moranis returns as dark helmet for space balls 2 i will freak out

Shirley Temple Black lived in Napa California for many years and her house was across the river from mine in the "Coves"..where we all had boat docks behind our houses. She was wonderful to all whenever she went out on the town.

I don’t call taking other jobs in the same industry as stepping back. Besides you missed lots of others who really did quit

Freddie Prinze Jr is also apparently starting his own wrestling promotion

Rick Astley left at his peak, became a meme decades later, then returned on his terms, now writing and playing every part of the demos on his comeback 50. He played Glastonbury for the first time, two sets.

I was just thinking about it and Amanda Bynes doesn’t have a single movie or show that isn’t absolute gold! I really hope she is getting the help she needs because somewhere deep down is a genuinely talented and funny person who made a whole generation of kids laugh uncontrollably!

thumbnail is classy as hell

I honestly feel bad for jack gleeson, dude got literal death threats for his portrayal of joffrey baratheon, Personally i just want to shake his hand he is a hell of an actor.

I now understand why they all left fame behind

I was really glad to see a large number of child actors who got out of Hollywood and live wholesome lives instead of prioritizing the diminishing returns of looks, fame & money.

Where's Jamie Gertz? The Lost Boys & Twister actor also starring in the TV show "Still Standing" for 4 seasons. She stepped away from acting to become a billionaire stock trader and now co-owns the Atlanta Hawks with her longtime husband!

"I am enough" - Jim Carrey

I don’t think Seagal has planned to go anywhere anytime soon. He’s just been busy being a cop, dog trainer, helicopter pilot, a green beret; blues player; chef and painter for 40 years.

Man I want moranis to make a comeback so bad…. Dude is a legend.

Bridget Fonda was in Godfather 3, not 2 hahahaha 😂

Ever notice that the Olson twins always look intensely over each other's features whenever they are together? Like when one is talking to a reporter/etc, the other looks at the twin that's talking and watches them (their eyes look at all parts of the other's face the whole time). I've always wondered why they do that.

How did you fail to mention "She's the Man" for Amanda Bynes?! By far her best performance.

Deanna Durbin surprisingly omitted. Walked away from acting as the #2 box office draw at age 27. Anne Frank had her photo on the attic wall.

I really wish Peacock hadn't cancelled that Punky Brewster revival that Freddie Prinze Jr was in. It was really good!

Would love to see prime Audrey Hepburn come back to acting. Would be quite the surprise to everyone, including science and medicine.

These former actors and actresses have my respect to leave fame and focus on other activities.

There was a time when you could see Gene Hackman in 2 to 3 movies a year. Good on him for retiring.

He wasn't an actor that i know of, but what ever happened to Stone Phillips?!?? I absolutely loved him reporting on Dateline!!!😍😅

Mojo, I have loved hearing about all of these awesome people, and I am going to watch a few more movies, never saw Cody Banks😮❤

What? No mention of Kristy McNicol?

Daniel Day Lewis quit the Royal Shakespeare Company before turning to cinema. The audiences bothered him.

Rick Moranis has my eternal respect. He is a real man.

I liked Bridget Fonda & wondered whatever happened to her.

I was hoping you might mention William Haines, who was one of the top billed leading men in films when he walked away from Hollywood because of his refusal to deny he was gay. He and his partner became the most popular interior designers in California

Mara's last film role in child acting was Lily Stone in Thomas & the Magic Railroad - while she did have a wonderful time on the film having been a huge Thomas and Shining Time Station fan and the fun experience on set in the Isle of Man and Toronto, those same aspects of how Hollywood was treating her was still taking an effect on her, hence she took her leave from acting until voiceover acting in Big Hero 6: the Series.

That thumb nail is really rude. Let people age in peace😢

Poor Rick getting punched in NYC. What’s wrong with people

How about Jack Lord he's best known as Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-0 which ran for 12 seasons he retired when the series ended and lived a quiet life in Hawaii and never worked since he passed in 98'.

To This Day, I Can Go Into A Bathroom, think of Phoebe Cates and make the magic happen. Ha.

You don't need a copy plex or deep reason to leave the spotlight. Wanting to quit is a good enough reason. Celebs shouldn't stay famous just because the fans call for it

Hollywood did Nikki Blonsky so dirty
