The thing that was my best friend for a long time suddenly turned on me, Heigl told mag. And I didnt expect it. I was taken by surprise and angry at it for betraying me. The Huffington Post reports the 35-year-olds trouble began six years ago when she removed her name from consideration for the 2008 Emmys because her Greys Anatomy character didnt have the material to warrant a nomination. After rom-com hits like Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, 2009s The Ugly Truth received dismal reviews and 2010s Life As We Know It was a box-office flop. Last year, she landed at No. 2 on Forbes Most Overpaid Actors list. The star says she accepts partial blame for not picking more serious roles. I had an amazing time. I love romantic comedies, she said. But maybe I hit it a little too hard. I couldnt say no. I stopped challenging myself. It became a bit by rote and, as a creative person, that can wear you down. That was part of why I took that time off, to ask myself, What do I want? What am I looking for? and shut down all the noise. Vulture magazine reported studio executives referred to her as Hurricane Heigl behind closed doors as rumours of her poor professional reputation circulated. She says it almost caused her to walk away from Hollywood for good. Oh yeah, I had a moment where, I dont know, I was thinking, Maybe open a knitting store, get my money out of retirement accounts and live off that, live off the land. I had my moment where it all seemed so complicated and all I wanted to do was simplify, she said However, Heigl has persisted with her craft and will next return air as a CIA analyst on NBCs State of Affairs, set to premiere later this year in the US. Theres a part of me thats a Hollywood animal as well, Heigl said. I cant wait to get into the writers room and see how we do this. I feel like Im finally rolling into the next phase of my adulthood. |
