I wanted an avenue outside of Hollywood as a way to connect with people.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite having \u201ca constant desire to connect with people,\u201d Faris admitted she \u201cdidn\u2019t disclose a lot on the podcast,\u201d but felt like she could if she \u201cneeded to.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt made me think, \u2018I know I could be happy if I\u2019m writing because I\u2019ve always loved that, and maybe that\u2019s an avenue to make money\u2019,\u201d the House Bunny actress continued.<\/p>\n Stream Scary Movie on BINGE<\/a>, available on Hubbl<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n At that time, Faris was \u201cthinking of a version of retirement\u201d.<\/p>\n Now, she said, \u201cthe opportunities are more bountiful than they\u2019ve ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just overwhelmed with gratitude,\u201d Faris confessed. \u201cWhen people see me, they usually smile and say, \u2018Oh, I love The House Bunny or \u2018Oh, I love Scary Movie\u2019 or Mom helped me through that hard time.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Faris told the outlet that while she had \u201cenough gumption, enough of a core\u201d to get through her divorce and the chatter of Hollywood, she would be \u201cnaive\u201d to think that being in the spotlight for 26 years didn\u2019t \u201cshape\u201d who she is.<\/p>\n \u201cBut, f**k the scrutiny,\u201d Faris remarked.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Hot Chick actress did share a deeper look into what made her marriage fail during a 2021 episode of her podcast.<\/p>\n Faris told guest Gwyneth Paltrow that her past two husbands \u2014 she was previously married to Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008 \u2014 were actors, and they didn\u2019t do \u201ca great job of eliminating competitiveness\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cOr at least I didn\u2019t, being a proud person, and not wanting to reveal vulnerability,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n However, after their split, both Faris and Pratt found love again.<\/p>\n The Parks and Recreation star married Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 and the couple shares kids, Lyla, 5, Eloise, 4, and Ford, 1.<\/p>\n For her part, Faris tied the knot with Michael Barrett in 2021.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared in Page Six<\/a> and was reproduced with permission<\/p>\n Read related topics:Binge<\/a>Foxtel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anna Faris opened up about how work got her through her divorce from Chris Pratt after eight years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[7605,328,2786,230071,7087,230066,230069,1374,434,5909,230073,18,117,179783,27363,1239,19,7088,17,73873,222858,5910,230065,230070,174925,1539,161032,230075,230072,230067,9298,230068,230074,230076,179690,19366],"class_list":["post-534813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-america","tag-anna-faris","tag-asia","tag-avenue-outside","tag-bali","tag-ben-indra","tag-bryan-steffy","tag-california","tag-celebrities","tag-chris-pratt","tag-couple-shares-kids","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gwyneth-paltrow","tag-hollywood","tag-ie","tag-indonesia","tag-ireland","tag-jack","tag-jesse-grant","tag-katherine-schwarzenegger","tag-marriage-fail","tag-michael-barrett","tag-ncaeditorialbinge","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-paramount-pictures-inc","tag-rare-comment","tag-rare-split-comment","tag-screen-time","tag-secret-community","tag-shares-rare-comment","tag-shares-rare-insight","tag-south-eastern-asia","tag-united-states-of-america"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
