"I'm not the guy you read about"... You said that the last time we read it

After 20 years as an actor since he began on the recently cancelled Soap Opera “One Life To Live”, Ryan Phillippe has decided to call it quits.  He has made it evident that his decision for this is primarily based on his fatigue from being under the scrutiny of today’s celebrity media.  His failed marriage with Reese Witherspoon, his former relationship with Abbie Cornish… to his current relationship with Amanda Seyfried while being bombarded with possible fatherhood with former girlfriend, Alexis Knapp, the “Cruel Intentions” star has had enough.

He does however wish to stay in the entertainment industry, but would rather focus on positions behind the scenes.  He has already made the decision to move out of Los Angeles and away from the constant hounding of the media’s presence here.  He has said he would like to move to New York’s SoHo District where he will spend a third of his year.

He will not be able to stay too far away from Los Angeles for too long.  He still has children to tend to.
