21 Famous Celebrities Who Left The Acting World And Are Doing Normal Jobs Now

Gene Hackman

Gene Hackman went into retirement from Hollywood in 2008, because, well, he’was tired. With exactly 100 acting credits to his name, Hackman has given us some of the best films we’ve ever seen, including Unforgiven in 1992, and The French Connection in 1971. We are surely in debt to him for gracing the screen with his stupendous acting prowess. He has a net worth of $80 million and does not need to work anymore. But he occasionally does, as a novelist. His last novel was published in 2013, titled Pursuit.

Jeff Cohen – Attorney

The Goonies was a hit, and Chunk aka Jeff Cohen contributed to that success! After the film, puberty hit Cohen and, with his chubby weight gone, it was hard for him to score other roles on the silver screen. Reportedly, growing up led him to early retirement. Notwithstanding his struggle with Hollywood, he decided to enter law school and is now an American attorney. The former actor founded Cohen & Gardner, LLP, and periodically writes for The Huffington Post. We have to admit that losing weight makes him look great in a suit!
