The celebrity life may seem glamorous to most of us, but not all celebrities chose to stick with the pressure that comes with the lifestyle. It’s a lot more work than it seems.
Having people stare at you, follow you everywhere you go and always wanting to take your picture can be a daunting life to lead. Some may even jump at the chance to go back to living a more typical lifestyle incognito. Let’s take a look at some celebrities who have left the Hollywood lifestyle behind for a regular job, and see what they are up to now.
3Danica McKellar
Danica McKellar is best known for playing the well-known character, Winnie Cooper from the TV series, The Wonder Years. She had a budding acting career ahead of her, but instead of pursuing acting, she decided to focus her attention on her passion for math.
McKellar enrolled at UCLA to pursue a degree in mathematics. She was so good in her field of study; she helped one of her professors write a paper. The girl once known as the beloved character, Winnie Cooper, ended up graduating summa cum laude from UCLA. Hot Algebra Exposed! and Math Doesn’t Suck were two books she wrote which focused on mathematics. You can still see her acting today, but one of her favorite projects would be a show on the Nerdist Channel called Math Bites.
