Michelle Pfeiffer, 63, says she never retired but worked less for her children

Michelle Pfeiffer says she was surprised by the allegations that she retired from acting when she was just trying to raise a family.

The First Lady actress, 63, has pondered her decision to take a break from Hollywood for nearly five years after interest in her and her family made things difficult for her two children, Claudia, 29, and John, 27, when they were growing up. .

It was like, ‘Okay, I’m just going to shoot in the summer, I’m just going to shoot here, and I’m just going to be quiet, blah, blah, blah, ‘and in the end it was too much trouble to hire me,’ she told The Hollywood Reporterwhich she showed off in a stunning orange dress at sunset.

Pfeiffer and her husband David Kelly moved their family away from Los Angeles, landing in Woodside, Northern California in the Silicon Valley region.

Five years later, she was surprised by the way others saw her career.

“I was starting to hear that I’m retired, and I’d say ‘Wait, no,'” she added.

Michelle – who has appeared in films such as Scarface, Grease 2, The Witches of Eastwick and Batman Returns – admitted that the move was tied to the more challenging aspects of life in the spotlight, and it became more of an issue with the kids.

I asked him, “How?” And she said, “Well, if they’re older and they’ve been talking to me for a long time, it’s not because they want to be my friend.”
