Adrian Grenier Opens Up About Leaving Hollywood Life to Move to Texas Farm: 'I Want More Now'

You're right, Adrian. Your acting career was going nowhere.

CLOSET CASE......Pushing 50....No Wife...No Kids...And went to TEXAS---smells Republican.....Good Riddance...He is worth 12 million. That's not much by Hollywood standards....He must be Super Rich by Texas Hillbilly Standards...

A douchebro follows the other douchebros like a sheep to Texas. Good for him. Stay there.

Maybe he can work on McBongo's election campaign.

I’m just going to leave this here.

He’s not gay, i worked for a production company that worked on his ill fated lonely whale documentary. He’s obnoxious, entitled, better than you (he will tell you all the reasons why) and he infantilizad his young girlfriends. There was always a different one. I saw him yell and tear down one of them fur buying the wrong dog food.

Who?

I swear it was on DL some years back that it is rumored he has a very stinky, smegma-filled peepee. Never saw him the same since. Yucko. And I'm someone who loves uncut weiners...clean ones.

Some chick he fucked told everyone he stank to the high heavens. He was already rumored to have poor hygiene. He was raised by his Hippie mom, so hygiene was probably not stressed.

The People photo shoot is hilarious, especially the photo of him on a tractor.

And he is uncut. Remember his nudes leaked.

Too bad he didn't leave Hollywood before his role in The Devil Wears Prada was cast.

Austin is earthy? Uh sure. Maybe 30 years ago. He really comes off as a tiresome douche.

And in 10 years these same people running to Texas for “a better quality of life” will be bitching about how overpriced and crowded it’s become because so many people moved there all at once like sheep 🐑 and prices are going up at light speed.

He looks apish to me and what R14 said. I was looking at moving to the Wimberly/Gruene area and the real estate is through the roof.

Austin is a liberal area R2.

R6 Azealia Banks said he knew lyrics to her songs when she ran into him back in the early 2010s which made her think he was gay and that when she tried sucking him off, but now she says she thinks he's gay because she says sucking dick is one of the 3 things she knows how to do.

It's during that time she was on her stories saying she slept with Dave Chapelle

She says outrageous things for sure, but never lies! Everything she says is true and she doesn't care about protecting anyone. That time that Russell Crowe spat on her and called her n-word looks to be true too.

She talks about guys who are like that at 1:30 and then at the end she calls Adrian by name toward the end

Everything is overcrowded today. I go to the pet store on my lunch break on a Wednesday and I’m standing in line. Too many people!

[quote] She says outrageous things for sure, but never lies!

The fact that you believe, anything that lunatic says, proves that you are equally crazy.

r11 his dick looks small.

For the 100th time, just because someone of a certain age doesn’t have a wife or kids doesn’t necessarily mean they’re gay.

I thought that Bachelor Nation woman Courtney Robinson said he had an Evian bottle cock?

R18 you'd be surprised at the people she rubs elbows with. Grimes and Elon wanted her for a threesome. There are screenshots she took of her conversations with Grimes. She's been associated with Grimes before Elon

Based on friends who've known him over the years, he's one of the smarter actors and never seemed all that into the Hollywood scene, very quirky in groups but great one on one.

I thought he was miscast in "Entourage" though--was hard to buy him as a Zac Efron-level heartthrob. I'd have done the guy who played E long before Grenier.

[quote] He’s obnoxious, entitled, better than you (he will tell you all the reasons why) and he infantilizad his young girlfriends.

Reading the article, I had a feeling that he left Hollywood before a "James Franco" type of scandal came out about him.

Adrian was part of that "Entourage" douchebro crew, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if some stories about him with underaged girls leaked.

I didn’t think any of the guys on Entourage were particularly attractive but out of all of them I suppose Vince was the best looking. Still it was kind of hard to buy him as a big box office, leading man type.

Wasn’t it based on Leonardo DiCaprio and Marky Mark?

Is a "fruit forest" an orchard?

How did this guy ever get a TV show? He’s a shitty actor and not even remotely attractive. I think he only showed his ass once during the show. So how it stayed on for eight seasons is beyond me.

It was wish fulfillment for dumb frat bros, r28: a group of ugly losers who thanks to their friend's unlikely success get to sit around in mansions all day, smoke weed and play video games, drives expensive sports cars and fuck all the best horny sluts. "SATC" gets a lot of hate on this site but it was a fucking masterwork compared to "Entourage."

[quote] "I don't miss anything about that world. Listen, if you go on Instagram long enough, you're going to find some FOMO somewhere, but everyone is just pretending they're living their best life," he said. "Ultimately, I know that I am, so I don't even tell anybody about it."

Everybody but he is pretending to live their best lives. Talk about arrogance.

R28 - totally agree. He's one of those head-scratching Hollywood successes. I don't find him attractive or talented at all. His career was built on a douchebro show (Entourage).

Most people in Hollywood do not have long careers with decade after decade of continued success. It's very rare actually.

R2, how is 40 pushing 50? And there is quite of bit of wealth in Texas.

R16, that chick is a known crazy.

I always thought he lived in Brooklyn. If he found a more meaningful life, good for him.

What can I say - I think he's beautiful! Always have.

He’s 45. That’s pushing 50.

He sounds as insufferable as his Devil Wears Prada character. I always wanted AnnE H to give him a swift kick in the balls after saying a line like “I wouldn’t care if you were poll dancing if you would do it with some INTEGRITY.”

[quote]I swear it was on DL some years back that it is rumored he has a very stinky, smegma-filled peepee. Never saw him the same since. Yucko. And I'm someone who loves uncut weiners...clean ones.

I remember that. that pic doesn't look uncut though. I thought the rumour was he liked to surprise his chicks with his dick cheese (which turned me on!)

Grenier has always looked like he smells.

Maybe it's the long hair. I dunno.

He just grosses me out.

His whole crotch area looked stank and like he hadn't washed in some time in those leaked masturbation videos.

I met him once at a tennis match in Toronto. I think he was Serena Williams. He was very nice and sat by himself.. and yes, I wanted to rail him

Like Rachel Griffiths career dried up and suddenly "who wants to live in LA?"

[quote] I think he was Serena Williams.

Now that, would be some amazing acting.

Adrian explains how it was "lackluster at the top."

*snicker*

R42 - that's rich. At the top? Oh my sides!

r42 A brief moment of success with Entourage and then nothingness is not "the top"

I think he and James Van Der Beeke are secret gay lovers and he couldn’t stand to be that far away from him.

[quote] I think he and James Van Der Beeke are secret gay lovers and he couldn’t stand to be that far away from him.

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles from Supernatural live in Austin, too.

Jensen is 42 and Jared is 38, so they're sort of in the same age group, as well.

Is Austin becoming the home away from home, for Hollywood actors?

Jared raves about living in Austin, too.

No one moves to Lubbock or Beaumont, it's always the areas most like California. r47 At least Jared is from central texas

Matthew McConaughey lives in Austin, too:

[quote] McConaughey met Camila Alves in 2006. He and Alves became engaged on December 25, 2011, and were married in a private Catholic ceremony on June 9, 2012, in Austin, Texas, where they reside

Where did his neck go?

He is quite the humblebragger.

I often confused him with Jesse Bradford but Bradford looks cleaner and more handsome.

"I was basically a has-been".

[quote] "SATC" gets a lot of hate on this site but it was a fucking masterwork compared to "Entourage."

Thank you. The show was never great, but it got steadily worse as the main character never suffered any blowback from his idiocy for more than an weekend. After about the third season, I was watching it for Ari and Lloyd.

I have never found him particularly attractive, but he definitely gets uglier as he gets older. Also, his cock looks small! Yuck.

Farming - real farming - is hard work; if he can make a go of that, maybe he's not the daft, self important creature that he appears to be

owning a farm...lots of tax breaks, right? I remember reading a report that lots of celebs owned farms for tax purposes...

Taylor Kitsch also lives in Austin

I figured he "opened up" a lot in Hollywood

Yes, farmers do get lots of tax breaks - so it's entirely possible that it's a place to hide his $$ for some reason

You got to give it to him for his name alone though, it sounds like sex itself.

I'll be generous and give him credit for realizing that his good thing is drawing to a close, the upward trajectory of income has probably flattened (to be kind again), and his estimated $12M goes only so far. Better to settle in some less expensive, less aggressive setting, but with enough celebrity buzz to not be in Siberia, where he can still be recognized but doesn't have to pretend that every lunch, every meeting is some great deal in the making, some comeback.

I would do the same, just not to Austin. I would drop off the map and live well in the Balearic Islands and travel. Rent a cottage in Hollywood on the short-term if doing or chasing after something there.

In any case, I'm always a tiny bit impressed when some celebrity without anything but a lot of luck behind their fame moves out of the celebrity grind and stops pushing and angling and dealing for the next thing every minute of the day. It's the opposite of so many who keep the signature hairstyle for 50 years past its prime, squeeze into Spanx to squeeze into clothes that look like clothes they were when they were famous in the 1980s, and generally suck dicks left and right like those Osmond ghouls or other has-beens who never were for a chance to get another embarrassing 20 seconds on Entertainment Tonight or TMZ.

He was reduced to doing Hallmark movies. Hollywood had had sufficient.

He’s finally exhausted all his money from those Geico caveman commercials.

Anyone else think the term "hairy-butted" should always precede the name Adrian Grenier?

Doesn't Dawson van der Creek and his creepy perpetually pregnant wife move to TX too?

[quote] I think he only showed his ass once during the show. So how it stayed on for eight seasons is beyond me.

LOL. It wasn't aimed at gay men, it was aimed at straight guys which is why DLers hate it. SEE ALSO: Silicon Valley

It was a very well done show with a whole mess of sly digs at the whole Hollywood scene and a lot of industry insider adjacent jokes too--the whole bit about the guy who directed "Queens Boulevard" actually being from Scarsdale and the heir to a supermarket empire (Daddy was paying all the bills) and then reduced to directing porn was brilliant.

They did a great job of capturing life in a certain sliver of Los Angeles.

And the show was allegedly based on Mark Wahlberg and his hangers one. Or at least the premise was--blue collar guy makes it big, brings his buddies to LA with him. The Vince character was supposed to have been a bit savvier and less "Queens" than his buddies which was explained at some point, though I forget how.

Finally, Debi Mazar's Shauna character was brilliant too.

And I'd turn straight for Emmanuelle Chriqui

Is it fair to say jeremy piven was the star of the show?

R66 Van der Creep should have stuck to fucking Pacey.

I’m sure in Jeremy Piven’s mind he was the star of the show despite what anyone else thought.

He does look like one of his parents might have been a chimp.

Maybe they could make Kirker's little shop their new hang-out.

Oh, wait...

Piven's Ari Gold character definitely was the standout on the show, the "type" that is referenced long after the show has been off the air.

Who did Piven piss off? He was everywhere for a hot minute and then nothing.

R74 Ask about some sushi and Speed The Plow.

I SWEAR to you Kevin Dillon looks exactly like a guy I saw on an Old Reliable video ! Sounded exactly like him too. He was very young too,late teens maybe. He was smoking a cigar on the OR video and one time on Entourage he was talking around a cigar in his mouth and I knew right then and there I was right. Havent been able to find that clip in years,I bet if it were him he scrubbed it. I always thought Grenier was hot in an offbeat way ,and still think he looks pretty good.

I find it funny that he disses social media users using Instagram to show off and brag about living their best lives while he's doing the fucking same in a local magazine. Like that makes him so humble and down to earth.

R77 This is just one of the many clues he gives that he is, and has always been, insufferable.

R77 I find it ambiguous. Is he saying he is also pretending to live his best life like everyone else. Or everyone else is pretending to live their best life but he actually is living his best life. I’m not sure how to interpret it.

Was it ever discovered if that vicious harangue he got into with Matt Damon on that shoot was real or not? I know some said it was fake, but it looked damn real to me.

Marginally talented, wealthy pretty boy leaves Hollywood to buy residence outside Austin. Conveniently overlooks the sewer that is Texas politics and talks about environmental nonprofits. Acts as if he's done something remarkable but hasn't. Seems like only the megawealthy and currently hot stars stay in LA area. Everyone else leaves.

If you want a state that cares about the environment texas is not it. As you'd expect republicunts makes sure regulations are none or as small as they can be.

I think New Mexico sounds far more appealing for a place to spend your post-Hollywood years; yes, it has it's issues, but it's not "Texas" level fucked up

[quote] "Ultimately, I know that I am, so I don't even tell anybody about it."

Until now.

[quote] Who did Piven piss off? He was everywhere for a hot minute and then nothing.

Piven's career stalled for awhile after several women accused him of being a predator. He did some kind of Christmas movie last year and has IMDB credits for several upcoming projects for 2021 and later on.

I think he sounds fine in the interview, and he certainly has more talent than Keanu Reeves who success is based on looks and sheer luck and a smidge of talent.

R86 Reeves also played it right - as in, avoiding conspicuous fuckups and knowing when to just be quiet.

R86 I think keanu is just no drama and gets along with people hence they keep working with him despite the fact he’s no great shakes in the acting department; but he has a name. He seems not to piss anyone off and I’ve never heard a bad word about him.

Piven got #metoo'd

really r89? I didn't know that (either.)

Just looking at him, you know his nether regions smell like dick cheese and ass.

I'm not a fan but....

1) How do we know, for a fact, that's actually him in the jack off video?

2) He's oogy but it sounds like he's also self aware enough to realize his "top" career as an actor is probably done. He was super lucky and got Entourage but that and his very much a supporting role as a jerk in The Devil Wears Prada (where he's outshined by every other actor in the cast) are all he's known for and both those projects are 10 to 15 years old.

He's wise to start transitioning away from acting. He doesn't really have the right kind of look to segue into leading man roles on police procedural or ensemble drama/action shows. At best, he could be an interesting character actor as toadies and villains but that doesn't pay as well.

I'd rather have Jesse Bradford, particularly back in his West Wing days.

R92 He shows his face in both of them and in one you can hear him talking to a guy on the other side of his room door. It's definitely him.

looks like we found the missing link.

R60 Not to mention that Texas, IIRC, has little or no state income tax.

[quote] Was it ever discovered if that vicious harangue he got into with Matt Damon on that shoot was real or not? I know some said it was fake, but it looked damn real to me.

It was fake just done for the "humor" and shock value.

[quote]R60, Not to mention that Texas, IIRC, has little or no state income tax.

R96, of the states Texas has the third highest property tax rates, just slightly behind New Jersey and New Hampshire, to compensate for low taxes in other respects; also a relatively high sales tax of 6.25%.

^Texas sales tax is 8.25%.

Grenier, van der Beek, Taylor Kitsch, Kyle Chandler....why are all these Hollywood has been suddenly moving to Austin? Are their careers so dead that they can't afford a nice house in LA anymore? Why give up the nice southern California weather for a dry, hot hell hole surrounded by crazy MAGA folks and insane real estate prices?

Austin has a different vibe than the rest of Texas, and is overwhelmingly liberal. But local politics get sullied by what's happening at the state level.

Did he actually cleave in two?

I wonder if he still keeps him apartment in Park Slope Brooklyn? I recall some hubbub a few years ago about his participation in a Food Co-op in which he wasn't contributing to his shifts, probably because of being away for filming.

I've always found him very attractive.

Looking @R5, I don't care what some of you guys say about Lipstick Alley, some of those women are hilarious.

Who knows if he's gay but I got on a plane once and as I passed through first class to get to my seat, he stared at me the whole time.

[quote]I don't care what some of you guys say about Lipstick Alley, some of those women are hilarious.

Same with Stormfront. Can be very funny.

R83 NM is beautiful. And yes, the cultural difference and vibes between NM and TX or even Arizona is really astonishing.

I figured out why Adrian Grenier doesn't do it for me. No muscles. Needs to bathe more. Need to consult Ari Melber on proper amount of stubble. Needs to be more interesting.

R106, no doubt you also think MTG and AOC are two sides of the same coin because that's how much benefit of the doubt you give to anyone white.

I've read LSA; that you think LSA is like Stormfront is downright psychotic. I've seen far more racial hate on here than homophobia over there.

[quote]I've read LSA; that you think LSA is like Stormfront is downright psychotic. I've seen far more racial hate on here than homophobia over there.

Of course you have! Go there. Stay there.

R110, I've been on DL for over 20 years. Don't think I haven't seen the vile racism/bigotry on here that would make some DLers an admin over at Stormfront

Bye!

People always say they're moving on to something "better" or "more." Why can't he just say he wants to do something "different." He sounds insufferable.

IMO, if he could have the career of DiCaprio, etc., he'd continue playing this Hollywood game.

I’ve seen Grenier in person. His eyes are purplish—stunning

Yas kween. Stunning.

[quote] She says outrageous things for sure, but never lies!

I believe some of what Azealia Banks says, but not all. People want to believe it because it's titillating stuff. She always seems like she has an ax to grind.

She tried to suck his flaccid dick for 30 minutes? WTF? Homegirl is persistent.

Why would she lay about this nobody? It's not like it will score headlines. She may be exaggerating how long she tried to blow him or omitting some conflict they had in the room or even drug use that affected the erection. But she is no way lying about the general theme.

I kind of believe AB's story about Grenier, I'm saying I don't believe everything. I also just don't like it when someone is considered 100% credible. We all lie.

She was also irritated that he wanted/needed some foreplay. WTF is wrong with this chick? Finally a guy who is offering some foreplay and doesn't want to fuck right away and this chick is complaining.
