This Is Us could have ended in 2022 (though it is out there streaming in your Netflix subscription), however Chrissy Metz is embarking on a brand new chapter in her life. Not solely does she have her upcoming Starz sequence Looking Wives, however she’s able to commerce in her Hollywood way of life for Nashville. Similar to Nicole Kidman earlier than her, Metz will get actual on why she left L.A. to dwell down south, and it makes a whole lot of sense.
Whereas dwelling in Hollywood may be useful if you would like an leisure profession, it’s not obligatory. There are a whole lot of Hollywood stars who don’t dwell in California, like Nicole Kidman, who moved to Nashville together with her nation singer husband, Keith City, in 2007. This Is Us forged member Chrissy Metz made the identical transfer, and he or she defined to Folks why:
I moved to Nashville. I used to be in LA for 21 years, however my household is in Florida, the place I am from, and in the course of the pandemic, I might drive to them from right here. It is only a higher high quality of life right here. All the things is quarter-hour away, and it is simply a lot much less stress.
I perceive how good and handy it’s for the whole lot to be shut by to you. Particularly since Florida and L.A. are on reverse sides of the nation, I’m certain Chrissy Metz is pleased she’s nearer to them.
For the actress, the choice to commerce Hollywood glitz for the center of Nashville isn’t nearly dwelling driving distance from her household. She additionally couldn’t assist however reward the southern state for its chill setting:
There’s rather a lot happening. There’s clearly nice music, nice meals. I grew up within the South, so I am used to kind of that hospitality — it feels extra communal right here. In L.A. it was all the time like, ‘Oh, you’ve got an audition? What’s it for? Oh, you’ve got an audition? What for?’ It was all very canine eat canine!
One other huge motive for Chrissy Metz’s determination to maneuver to Nashville is to be close to the music. They don’t name the Tennessee capital “Music Metropolis” for nothing. Like Keith City and Nicole Kidman, Jessica Simpson left Hollywood for Nashville, seeing it as the proper setting for her to write down new music. The American Horror Story alum feels the identical approach, with Nashville being a terrific setting to return to her musical roots.
Chrissy Metz has proven her unbelievable singing abilities on This Is Us and her musical efficiency on the 2020 Oscars, singing her Breakthrough film’s music “I’m Standing With You.” Music clearly means rather a lot to the actress who beforehand spoke proudly of not letting the stigma of actors pursuing singing careers get to her. Metz mentioned her love of singing and writing songs will proceed. I hope this implies we’ll quickly get an upcoming nation album from her.
Similar to Nicole Kidman and plenty of different celebrities earlier than her, Chrissy Metz has made the daring transition from Hollywood to Nashville. Being surrounded by a lot nation music is sure to encourage a deeper connection not solely to her songwriting however her storytelling abilities that first put her within the highlight.
