Toy Story 5 star Joan Cusack has revealed why she stepped away from Hollywood at the height of her career. <\/p>\n
Over the past week, the actress made a number of carpet appearances for the first time in 11 years for the premiere of Toy Story 5.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the world premiere in Los Angeles, Cusack revealed the real reason for her disappearance from screens. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think because I worked for a long time and you know, I feel so honoured to be able to work in this industry for a long time,\u201d she told Variety<\/a>. \u201cBut it\u2019s also pretty great to live your life and raise your kids, and be in Chicago and be a normal person. It\u2019s kind of priceless. It\u2019s kind of cool, there\u2019s not that many movies that do huge red carpets anymore. <\/p>\n \u201cBeing on a carpet is just kind of one part of Hollywood. There are no red carpets for TV shows and smaller movies. I just haven\u2019t been in a movie this big in a long time. But I\u2019ve got to say I did say at a certain point that I want to make raising my kids my priority,\u201d she added in an interview with E! News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cusack has been married to lawyer and business executive Richard Burke since 1996. They have two sons together: Dylan John Burk, who was born in 1997 and Miles Burke, who was born in 2000.<\/p>\n Dylan and Miles were raised primarily in Chicago rather than Los Angeles to keep them out of the Hollywood spotlight. Cusack has stated previously that she wanted her boys to grow up grounded in a city with rich culture, rather than having their lives revolve around the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
