Catherine Zeta-Jones Quit Hollywood For Sake of Kids
Posted by Adam
Catherine Zeta-Jones quit living in Hollywood for the sake of her children.
The Welsh actress — who lives in Bermuda and New York with her actor husband Michael Douglas and their children, nine-year-old son Dylan and six-year-old-daughter Carys — was so frustrated with the constant paparazzi presence she gave up her glamorous Los Angeles lifestyle to focus on her family life.
“When you live in Los Angeles you can’t go anywhere without being critiqued — on your purse of the fact that you have gained weight or that you have got spots on your face,” she said.
“That’s not the life I want. Deciding to live in beautiful Bermuda was the healthiest thing Michael and I ever did. Now that I have kids, that’s what my life is about.”
Catherine is also not concerned about turning 40 this Thursday — the same day her husband turns 65 — because she doesn’t feel old.
“I feel much younger than I am,” she insisted. “When you are 10 or 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30 that seemed like a major milestone.”
The couple are due to celebrate their milestone birthdays at an intimate party for family and close friends at a top New York restaurant.
