Why He Declined The New Job

[Blind Gossip] You already know that actors have big egos.

That’s why they usually grab at any opportunity to improve their stature, power, fame or wealth!

A well-known movie star recently had an opportunity to compete for a prestigious new job.

Our handsome actor did enjoy talking about the job. Lots of articles were published about him going for the job. It even looked like the job could be his if he wanted it!

And then he declined to compete.

That didn’t make sense, did it? He is not a guy who is desperate for publicity. And, as an athletic guy, he normally loves to compete. So why did go through all the trouble of teasing the big change… only to back off?

Well, we know why!

He has other priorities. And, no, we’re not talking about a new movie project.

You see, his wife is pregnant. Surprise!

Her last pregnancy was extremely difficult and she was in a lot of pain. He needs to be there to support her and he decided that now is not the time to take on a huge new venture. He just wants to keep everything as calm and stress free as possible for her.

Trying to score that new job definitely would have meant a lot of travel and stress for the couple, so it certainly is both kind and responsible of him to put his family first.

He can always try for that job at some point in the future!

Not surprisingly, Actor and his wife are being cautious about this pregnancy. If things go well, you will probably see an official announcement before the end of winter.

We wish them well!

    Yes, he made the right decision. Raising 3 kids alone while pregnant all while Dad is away filming is tough even with the help of nannies!

      And yes, he should go for Bond in the future! He’s actually really great in serious dramatic roles

    Matthew McConaughey. Lots of chatter about him running for Gov of TX.
    He made the right decision. As to a future run, well why not? It’s impossible for him to do a worse job than Greg Abbott, so….

      I wish he would have run as an Independent. Our country needs a third party.
      I don’t mind Abbott-do NOT like pretty boy Beto.

      Funny how opinions differ. I’m quite pleased with the job Abbott has done. I’ve been so glad to be in this state during all the hell that’s broken loose.

      It’s a shame. I’m
      Not a Texan, but from what I’ve read, Abbott appears to be a homophobic hypocrite who seems to care more about subverting democracy than addressing C19. It’s sad that him and many on his side of the aisle seem to be completely bought and paid for by their wealthy donors instead of helping their constituents.

      I wonder if and when their working class constituents will realize they are voting against their own best interests. Fear is a powerful motivator.

    Matthew McConaughey

    I think he’d have been great! He cares about social justice and seems dedicated to helping people who have been less fortunate than him. I think he might appeal to people on both sides of the aisle too.

    Idris Elba as James Bond? He’d be fantastic! Hope he comes back after baby arrives. Way to put your family’s needs first.

  17. Queue and Eh says

    Matthew McConaughey fits the bill.

    It would be a challenge to do much more damage than Abbott. But anyone who wants to be in politics generally seems to be the exact wrong person for the job.

    Just gave it another shot and I think this is Matthew McConnaughy. He was considering running for Texas gov and pulled out in November. Classy guy- this doesn’t surprise me by his sudden exit from running and the reason behind it.

  20. badgerette85 says

    I sense this should be fairly obvious given the clues… just can’t wrap my mind around who it is. I will say- this is very refreshing to read that the actor is putting the needs of his wife and future child before his. He is to be commended and his wife is a pretty fortunate gal, but she most likely knew that! Wishing them a healthy baby!
