Mar 28, 2014 18:15
Gwyneth Paltrow has consciously uncoupled from Chris Martin in the new divorce term she invented. Now she's going to also excuse herself from acting, because it'll be tough. E! News report:
The 41-year-old Hollywood A-lister also explained how it’s trickier to maintain her film career now that her children are getting older.
“It’s much harder for me. I feel like I set it up in a way that makes it difficult because… for me, like if I miss a school run, they are like, ‘Where were you?’ I don’t like to be the lead so I don’t [have] to work every day, you know, I have little things that I like and obviously I want it to be good and challenging and interesting and be with good people and that kind of thing.”
She added, “I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”
There must be some fancy term to this. There just must! "Performance exodus"? “It’s much harder for me.
