He returned to the big screen last year in What Happens Later, his first film in eight years, explaining why he needed a break.
‘I needed other experiences, to meet people outside the film industry. That’s why I moved to New York, raised my daughter Daisy and then started traveling, especially to far away countries,’ she said.
Ryan said stepping away from the spotlight helped her see things more clearly as she learned to balance her career and family.
“When you are neck-deep in the ‘fame bubble’ you cannot suddenly free yourself from it, you always remain lost in the labyrinth of notoriety.”
‘But you know what? I’ve had enough, I’m happy I made that decision and walked away from that world: I became a better and more interesting human being,” he concluded.
