Catherine Zeta-Jones, the acclaimed actress, has revealed that she intentionally chose a life away from Hollywood’s spotlight, settling in New York instead. This decision, made alongside her husband Michael Douglas, has led to a unique lifestyle, potentially influencing her career path.
Zeta-Jones shared in an interview that her time on the East Coast has kept her away from the constant “schmoozing” that’s common in Los Angeles. She spends more time with individuals from the business and art worlds of New York, which has shaped her family life and friendships.
Living outside the Hollywood bubble doesn’t mean she’s disconnected from the entertainment industry. She continues to take on exciting roles, including reprising her role as Morticia Addams in the popular Netflix series “Wednesday.”
Zeta-Jones emphasized that her choice isn’t a criticism of Hollywood, but rather a preference for the different opportunities and relationships she’s found in New York. She and Douglas have built a life together for over two decades, raising their children away from the constant attention of Hollywood.
Now that their children are grown, Zeta-Jones and Douglas are embarking on a new chapter. They recently listed their New York estate, signaling a change in their living arrangements. However, Zeta-Jones remains connected to the art world and continues to pursue her acting career with passion.
