In the mid-2000s, Rachel McAdams rose to fame with blockbuster movies like Mean Girls, Wedding Crashers, and The Notebook. However, she made the bold decision to step away from acting at the height of her success. In a recent interview with Bustle, McAdams explained why she has no regrets about her choice and how it made her feel empowered.
McAdams became overwhelmed by the sudden leap to popularity that came with her breakout roles in 2004’s The Notebook and Mean Girls. Reflecting on her rise to stardom, she shared with Bustle, “You don’t go to drama school to learn how to deal with that. There is no manual on how to do that.” The expectations placed on her as a celebrity, including uncomfortable photo shoot requests, led her to reevaluate her path.
