Carrie-Anne Moss, renowned for her role in The Matrix Resurrections, dismisses the idea that Hollywood abandoned her, attributing brief hiatuses to her choice of prioritizing family.
Reflecting on a video questioning why Hollywood seemingly turned away from her, the 54-year-old Canadian actress chuckled and clarified, "Funny! I had kids, and I wanted to be with them." Moss, who has three children from her 22-year marriage, emphasized her commitment to family life over industry expectations.
Residing in a renovated farmhouse in rural New Hampshire, Moss, a practitioner of Kundalini, humorously dismissed comparisons to lifestyle brand GOOP, describing her endeavors as a "labor of love" rather than a savvy business move.
While she has had notable roles in films like Memento, Chocolat, Disturbia, and Red Planet, it was her part as attorney Jeri Hogarth in Netflix's Jessica Jones in 2015 that marked a revitalization in her career. Moss explained how the transition from a world with small children to joining the Jessica Jones cast allowed her to connect with fellow adults.
Acknowledging the support received during her move to New York City, Moss credited her Jessica Jones castmate Krysten Ritter, who she referred to as her "bestie mentor fave travel buddy sister."
Carrie-Anne Moss is set to reprise her iconic role as Trinity/Tiffany in Lana Wachowski's reimagined fourth installment, The Matrix Resurrections, hitting US/UK theaters and HBO Max this Wednesday. Reflecting on the philosophical aspect of The Matrix, Moss pondered breaking through the mental matrix of societal expectations.
As she revisits her iconic character, Moss reflects on identity beyond roles—mother, wife, actress, and Trinity—challenging societal expectations and exploring personal evolution. She shared insights on the nostalgia of The Matrix trilogy and its cultural impact, noting the evolution of both the audience and the characters over the past two decades.
The Matrix trilogy, directed by the Wachowskis, achieved remarkable success, grossing $1.633 billion globally despite mixed reviews. Moss, known for her role in nineties classics, draws parallels between the iconic era and the present, finding comfort in the shared journey of characters and viewers alike.
