Stars on a hiatus

Singer Chris Brown recently announced that he was taking a long break from work. He’s not the only one — there have been other celebs who have taken an extended break as well
Channing Tatum
Channing announced an extended break from acting in order to test out his mettle as a director. Accordingly, Tatum will be working with producer Reid Carolin. And their collaboration appears to be bearing fruit, as he reportedly told the foreign media that he has “four ideas in the hopper” that Tatum will direct.This decision of his came in the wake of his experiences working with Steven Soderbergh on Magic Mike.
Chris Martin
Last year, Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, announced that the band was taking a break. At a show, he announced a number with a message: “This is the last big show for three years or so. I don’t know… I don’t want to stop.” Whether it was just the exhaustion of constant touring or a desire to be a stay-at-home dad and bring up his kids or maybe both, who knows?
Ryan Gosling
Ryan Gosling shocked fans and the trade when he announced recently: “I’ve lost perspective on what I’m doing. I think it’s good for me to take a break and reassess why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does. There’s a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film... I have done it. It’s not my favorite way to work.”
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo has been particularly prolific since 2010 with six films. He’s also been as prolific with his women too! But all of that hard work made him announce that post the completion of Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, he was going to take a “long, long break.” Wonder how long it’ll be?
Winona Ryder
Ryder was a famous name in the 90s grunge generation, and was tipped to become a huge star. But after her infamous 2001 bust for shoplifting, she went through a four-year career hiatus. Unlike the others, her break wasn’t self imposed. When Woody Allen tried to sign her on for a film, insurance companies refused to back her, citing her run-in with the law.
