Curtain Call: 10 Stars Who Left Hollywood Behind To Raise A Family

- By

Dave Chapelle

To be honest, we got a little scared there when Dave Chapelle just up and disappeared from the public eye. He was literally at his comedic peak, and then, he just gave it all up. Thankfully, Dave didn’t fall off the grid due to any addictions, but rather, he left the Hollywood scene to get away from all the expectations and raise his family, which he struggled to do when he was focused on “Chappelle’s Show.” When asked about his hiatus, he explained it to the Daily News this way: “I never stopped being onstage. What I did was step off of the main stage…That kind of attention wouldn’t have been conducive to raising a family.”
