Meg Ryan says she's ‘not a good famous person’ as she launches Hollywood comeback
foxnews.comMeg Ryan recently admitted she doesn't believe she is cut out for the spotlight as she mounts her Hollywood comeback. The 61-year-old actress, who is starring alongside David Duchovny in the new romantic comedy "What Happens Later," reflected on her eight-year hiatus from acting in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. "What Happens Later" marks her first film appearance since her 2015 directorial debut "Ithaca," which also starred her son Jack Quaid. "I have to say, I don't think I was a very good famous person," Ryan said. "I just don't think I'm a good celebrity. "And I've been working since I was a kid really.

"And I just always felt a little bit like life was over, like, outside this little bubble, outside some sort of membrane," Ryan explained.

Ryan shares Jack, 31, with her ex-husband Dennis Quaid and adopted her daughter Daisy, 18, in 2006. Now that she has spent some time living outside the bubble of Hollywood fame, the Connecticut native told Entertainment Tonight she was able to bring a fresh perspective to her craft with "What Happens Next." "I'm grateful that I'm a mom, and I'm grateful that I have friends," Ryan shared. "I'm grateful that my life has so many different aspects to it.
