This week, as millions upon millions of people go to their cubicles to give the universe its daily payout of dying hopes and dreams, a couple of young, good looking, wealthy actors are all, "we can do whatever we want in life." And so it will be. First we learned that Ryan Gosling would like to quit acting to become a daddy, saying, "I don't want to act much longer... I'd like to be making babies but I'm not, so I'm making movies. When someone comes along I don't think I'll be able to do both and I'm fine with that. I'll make movies until I make babies. I have no idea when the handover will happen."
Now his former Blue Valentine co-star Michelle Williams has told Hobo magazine that she has nearly tired of acting herself, and wouldn't mind a more domestic and simple life. She says,"I often dream of quitting acting. Walking away and becoming a laundress or a sous chef or maybe writing other people's love letters for a living."
If these two young adults can't make their dreams happen in this life, maybe in their next ones they'll be birds...
