London: Actor Damian Lewis first left the US because he found Hollywood to be ‘bloated and corrupting’. The 43-year-old decided to relocate back to his native Britain over a decade ago because he was growing disillusioned with the film industry in Los Angeles, reports contactmusic.com.
‘I just didn't feel I wanted to live in LA. There was still theatre that I wanted to do, there were a couple of big movies floating around,’ he explained during a London TimesTalks event, organised by the International New York Times.
‘I ended up choosing a movie about aliens exploding out of people's bottoms - which might be a decision I take back - an adaptation of a Stephen King novel called Dreamcatcher. ‘I actually ran away from LA slightly put off by that experience, not the film itself.’ he said.
