Ryan Reynolds, an American actor, has stated why he is taking a sabbatical from performing.
Last month, the actor, whose credits include Deadpool and Free Guy, said that his most recent production, Spirited, will be his final for a while.
After wrapping production on the Christmas musical, Reynolds said that he will take “a brief hiatus from movie creation” after a hectic few years.
“That’s a wrap for me on Spirited,” Reynolds, 45, wrote on Instagram. “Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago. Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making.”
He continued: “I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists. These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both.”
Now, addressing the reasons behind his decision, Reynolds told The Hollywood Reporter: “I’m just trying to create a little bit more space for my family and time with them. You know, you don’t really get that time back.”
He added: “For me, it’s really about getting some quality time with my kids before they’re teenagers who loathe me.”
During his acting sabbatical, Ryan Reynolds intends to spend more time with his family.
Red Notice, Reynolds’ newest picture, is out in theaters ahead of its November 12 Netflix release.
On The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday (6 November), the actor joked about “losing” the streaming service “millions of dollars” during its development.
The actor has three children with his wife, Blake Lively, who made their followers chuckle by mocking his tweet announcing his acting vacation.
