Danny McBride Reveals Why He Left Hollywood for Life in South Carolina
The actor says moving across the country gave him greater creative control while helping his family enjoy a quieter lifestyle away from Hollywood.
Danny McBride says leaving Los Angeles nearly a decade ago was one of the best decisions he made for both his career and his family.
According to Fox News, while speaking on Rich Roll's podcast, the Actor, writer, and producer explained why he relocated his family to Charleston, South Carolina, in 2017 after years of working in Hollywood.
McBride said the move gave him more creative freedom while also allowing his children to grow up in a different environment.
McBride, who created and starred in "Eastbound & Down" and "The Righteous Gemstones," recalled noticing an unexpected benefit while filming "Eastbound & Down" in Wilmington, North Carolina.
"When we were shooting 'Eastbound,' we were shooting in Wilmington, North Carolina, and the idea that there was not a direct flight, at that time, from L.A. to North Carolina, we noticed that the executives never came to set," he said.
"We're like, 'Oh, we just gotta choose cities that it's not easy to get to from L.A., and then we'll have more freedom.'"
