These Superstars Gave Up Their Fame To Pursue “Normal” Jobs. Where Are They Now?
Jack Gleeson
Jack Gleeson became internationally well-known because of his role as the evil King Joffrey in HBO’s wildly popular series, “Game of Thrones.” His phenomenal depiction of the tyrannical ruler left many in the audience convinced that’s who he really was. On the other hand, Gleeson understood that the role was entirely at odds with his true nature.
He announced in 2013 that he was quitting acting to pursue his studies. Gleeson’s cited reason was TV audiences’ inability to separate the on-screen fictional character from the real-life performer. Subjected to endless abuse on the internet and in public, the once-rising young star bid farewell to showbiz for good.
