mail@newsofbahrain.com<\/a><\/p>\nAmanda Peet has branded the cut-throat movie industry \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old actress – who is mother to Frances, 19, Molly, 15, and Henry, 11, with her husband David Benioff – has opened up about life in the spotlight and admitted it\u2019s a misconception to think Hollywood stars have perfect lives because of their wealth and status – insisting it\u2019s all just \u201csmoke and mirrors\u201d.<\/p>\n
She told Fox News: \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous … It\u2019s smoke and mirrors. There\u2019s no there there. I mean you name the aphorism, it applies to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s desperation galore. \u2018What are they doing over there? Why don\u2019t I have that? Why don\u2019t I look like that?\u2019 That\u2019s the bad part.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on to add: \u201cIn Hollywood, it\u2019s hard to – I\u2019m gonna just sound corny. It\u2019s competitive, and it\u2019s hard to get out of that really sort of competitive mindset where the piece of cheese on the island is too small and there are too many people going after it.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Amanda is adamant she\u2019s not competing for parts in the same way any more and has found \u201cpeace\u201d now she\u2019s in her 50s.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI\u2019m older, so I have much more peace about it, but it\u2019s really, really hard to find that, and it is hard not to want to chase your own buzz if you are lucky enough to have any, and instead, just be like: \u2018What do I really want to do when my alarm goes off in the morning? What do I want to be doing? Is this really what I want to be doing? Is this really helpful or useful to anyone?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes after Amanda revealed s h e h a s been diagnosed with breast cancer. S h e confirmed her health battle in a nessay written for the New Yorker and she has since explained she had to compose herself before discussing the issue with her kids<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Email: mail@newsofbahrain.com Amanda Peet has branded the cut-throat movie industry \u201cridiculous\u201d.
