Amanda Seyfried explains why leaving Hollywood was the "best decision."

A1 Digital India News: The actress has lived on a farm in upstate New York with her family for years. While the actress left the glitz of Hollywood behind and moved to New York years ago, she proved a lot, which eventually led her to settle on a farm in upstate New York. And now with a husband and two kids, she wouldn't change a thing.

Seyfried recently told Forbes, "I moved upstate long before I had a family. Moving here was the best decision for privacy, peace and nature. It offers a more balanced life than the city." my mental health."

While the Mama Mia star still loves running and acting, she says this "quiet place to call home" has allowed her to better adapt to the fast-paced city lifestyle, high-energy press events, and life on set.

When Seyfried, who is set to star in director Paul Feig's film The Housemaid, isn't working, she now cares for a variety of animals, including an Australian Shepherd named Finn Is. She told Forbes that although there was a "learning curve" in the beginning, experiencing farm life was the most "empowering" and gave her "a lot of purpose."

The Dropout actress says she now looks back on her trips to the city as lost entertainment, knowing that "someday I'll come home and be happier wearing my boots in mud than feeding animals."

It's not uncommon for A-list celebrities to leave Hollywood life to live a quieter life. Most recently, Jason Segel shared that he moved from Los Angeles to Ojai, California, because he "realised that art should be a reflection of what I was going through and I was really into it more than I was into anything else in life."

The How I Met Your Mother star added: "I moved to a little suburb and I started asking myself, 'What do you really like? What are you really passionate about right now? Being an artist. And who do you want an artist to be?'"
