Josh Hartnett on Leaving Hollywood for Quieter Life

Josh Hartnett revealed in multiple interviews that he left Hollywood in the early 2000s due to 'borderline unhealthy' attention from fans, including several stalking incidents. One particularly alarming episode involved a man showing up at a premiere with a gun, claiming to be his father. Hartnett moved to the UK countryside with his wife, Tamsin Egerton, seeking a quieter, more balanced life. Despite turning down major roles like Superman and Batman, he found fulfillment in smaller projects and values his family life. He recently made a comeback with roles in 'Oppenheimer' and the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan film, 'Trap'.
