Chris Hemsworth, the interpreter of the god of thunder Thor, announced that he will leave the cinema for a year and return to Australia to dedicate himself to his family. “This year I probably won’t be filming anything, I just want to be at home with my kids, they are at a very important age, they are still small and they are more and more aware of when I am away”.

Taking care of my son became my number one task, and it was such a joy to have someone else to focus on… I stopped making movies and TV shows for the first eight years of his life, and I don’t regret it for a moment. I always put you first.

6. Rick Moranis

Rick Moranis is known for participating in films from the 80s and 90s, such as The ghost hunters🇧🇷 SOS — There’s a Madman Loose in Space🇧🇷 The Flintstones and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids🇧🇷 These works consolidated him as one of the great interpreters of the decade.

I took a break that turned into a very long break, but I’m interested in anything that strikes my fancy. I’m occasionally asked about a film or television role, and as soon as one comes along that piques my interest, I’ll probably do it.

7. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis

When actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis got married, they made the decision to leave Hollywood to raise their three daughters – Rumer, Scout and Tallulah – together in a city in the US state of Idaho. “One of my goals is to create strong bonds so that when my kids grow up, they want to share their lives with me,” Moore said in 2001.
