Hackman, on the other hand, opted to retire from acting after realizing that he no longer wanted to be part of all of the stress and sacrifice that being a celebrity entailed. “I simply didn’t feel like I wanted to do it anymore,” he was reported as saying.

2. Geena Davis

Geena Davis, an actress, was at the pinnacle of her career when she abruptly vanished from our screens.

After starring in two cinematic masterpieces, Thelma and Louise and Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, the celebrity had gained critical praise as well as international renown. While watching TV with her family, Davis noted that the male to female character ratio was greatly skewed in favor of men.

Surprisingly, the celebrity opted to fund the largest study project on the gender ratio in children’s entertainment. The experiment was ultimately completed, and it was discovered that there were three males for every one girl.

Davis became more involved in activism and supported groups in order to correct this inequality. This job appears to have kept her quite busy since she has yet to return to the big screen.

1. Jack Gleeson

Jack Gleeson, who played Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones, became the most despised figure in the hit series.

After establishing himself as a superb actor, it came as a surprise to learn that Gleeson had abandoned the field to pursue a Philosophy degree in his native Ireland. His acting chops will be missed.
