The allure of fame is undeniable, and for so many it is all they ever want—the ultimate goal. But for some actors, the dream they had dreamed about and worked towards… turned out to be a trap. They got everything they thought they wanted, only to discover it came with a price they didn’t want to pay. So they did the unthinkable: they walked away.
