Amanda Bynes Is Done With Acting

Since Amanda Bynes knows very well that she can never top her Oscar-worthy work in the cinematic masterpiece that is She's The One, she has decided to quit while she's ahead and officially retire from Hollywood. Cut to everyone in Hollywood saying, "Um. Didn't we fire her a while ago?"

In a series of Tweets yesterday, Amanda took her final bow and exited stage left:

I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been apart of I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play

Somewhere Meryl Streep is letting out a giant sigh of relief, because her main competition is no longer in the game.

Hope is the last thing to die...

Is retiring what they call it when nobody wants to hire you for acting jobs anymore?

KD's picture

At age 24, it is not called retiring. Its quitting. But if she doesn't love it, then kadooze to her. The world would be a better place if we could all figure out what we would love doing and find a way to make it work.

.. so what does a failed actress do with the rest of her life ?? Work at Olive Garden ? Become a schoolteacher ? It'd be weird to be
working with the public, I'd guess.

Sounds like somebody is drunk-tweeting again. Probably in the nude too, like the rest of us are.

so many others who claim to be actors need to grow balls and do exactly what she did.

I have to admit that I do enjoyed some of the movies she was in and her "acting". but this picture is horrible she looks like stifler's mom (Jennifer Coolidge) who i find sexy but she's twice her age.

Amanda is too normal to be an actress. You need to be some attention whore with no shame to make it big. Otherwise you will just blend in and be forgotten.

There are a lot of former actors who went on to college and got normal careers after their acting days. Maybe that's what she plans to do, then again I think she will be coming back to Hollywood eventually. She has been on TV since she was 11 or 12. Normal life may seem easier than Hollywood life because she has not done anything but act. The grass is always greener on the other side.

All celebs and pseudo celebs should have a breathalyzer lock on their twitter in addition to a simple password.

This is a clear example of drunk twittering. So sad, as it could have easily been prevented.

I always thought she was so cute; so much prettier than Hillary Duff and the other child stars, old and new. She always stayed low profile and I respect that. Maybe she didn't like the bullshit of Hollywood. I don't blame her; I'd be done too. There's so much more to life than being famous.

Can we get her to give Britney some counseling?

I've never seen any of her movies but I will admit I used to watch the "Amanda Show" when it was on (I was in my 20's at the time!). She could be another Anna Farris if she got the right movie.

she never seemed to grow into anything that made sense in hollyweird, of that she should be proud. girl, ditch the weave and go ahead and be a normal person while u still have a chance.

Amanda Bynes is just another child actress whose career dimmed. Next.

Totally agree with you there. Although I was never a big fan of hers the interviews that I read made me like her because it was clear that she had far more moral fiber than half the idiot chicks around her. She once said that she does her job and goes home. That alone speaks volumes about her work ethic.

The #'s happen when your text is longer than the maximum characters allowed. I think twitter is 120 characters max. Anything over than that is transmitted in a second tweet starting with a #. That happens to me whenever I overload my status on facebook.

Hahaha, I would imagine all of the flags at Six Flags/Great America are flying at half staff.

Seriously, who are they going to get to be in the next Alvin and the Chipmunks movie since the star is retiring?

What did she do to her face?!

mslewis's picture

One of the best American actors, Gene Hackman, retired recently and no one even reported it. Mind you, this guy has worked for DECADES!
-------------------------------------------------------------
But Gene didn't twitter that he was retiring!!! Seriously though, I did read that Gene Hackman had retired and also Leonard Nimoy retired the other day. These stories were picked up as REAL news whilst Amanda's "news" is only on the gossip sites. Nobody knows who she is anyway so the gossip sites can explain her to anybody who might care.

Better Off Dead's picture

I don't really get the whole twitter terminology... what is the deal with the random "#" in front of words?

I don't think it takes a degree in astrophysics to figure out how to get someone's unwanted finger out of your ass. - RasKimmie

She is irrelevant and announcing her "retirement" is her way of getting attention. Those were some depressing tweets though, she should save that "my life isnt fun anymore" shit for her therapist.

So wearing dresses that were so short you saw her cheeks to get photographed didn't help her career?

mslewis's picture

I shed a tear when I heard this news. What a loss for Hollywood. I guess all the producers who were fighting to get Amanda in their next film will just have to start over and try to get their second choice. Bad news, indeed. We'll miss you Manda. Great actress, right there, folks!!

If she's got enough money to live on the rest of her life, then good for her. It sucks doing something that you don't like doing. I'm sure she wasn't seeing the kinds of roles she wanted to at least try out for, and that is what started this idea in her head. Given how down to earth she appears to be and how she apparently is financially set, she's doing the one thing we all wish we could do; go for happiness in life. I wish her the best.

FilthyBitch's picture

I don't really have an opinion of her acting since the only movie I've seen of hers was that one where she finds out her dad is royalty in England or some shit.
But I've seen her a few times on sites where she was coming out of clubs or making appearances and for some reason Ive always thought that she had her act together and I bet she was quietly investing and saving all the money she's made.

Bet she got to the point where she said she has enough money and doesn't have to do something she doesn't like anymore. Good for her.

She coulda ended up as another Disney child star statistic.

what she should try to do is a talk show for the younger set now that Ms. Tyranasaurus is quiting that.

Seriously I wanna talk to her because she's one of the few non annoying Dis/Nick people out there.

I think it's ADORABLE that this Ms. Potato Head thinks that we care. Her face is sooo off. I guess dressing like a hooker didn't work well for her.

Is she trying to express her disillusionment with the industry, that Hollywood after all means very little to her and that the profession itself has very little to offer in the first place?

Further proof that just because you're talented at something doesn't mean you're gonna like it. Money does not equal happiness (though you can rent it for a while). I wish her the best and hope she's invested her money well.

Clem's picture

So that's why I couldn't sleep Saturday night ... another actress was attentionwhoring on twitter.

ballerineboheme's picture

She says "...I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play" uh weren't you just doing your job then???

I dislike actresses who keep saying they're sick of playing the same old characters yet they don't want to venture outside of the traditional Hollywood contacts...why not try auditioning for independent movies? Or auditioning for something on Broadway if you really "love" acting? I think Amanda's a decent teen/romantic comedy type actress but if you don't have/can't show people your range in your acting ability then you probably shouldn't be acting anyways.

when is the last time she has even made a movie??

Amanda is a really sweet and humble person, I wish her nothing but the best.
For those of you who say she looks bloated in the face, shut up, that's the mix of an unflattering haircut and prominent cheekbones she's had all her life.
Sad to see someone much more real and talented than Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox etc quit the business.

DR.FUNK's picture

Hope she means it. Hope she squirreled enough away that she can afford not to work. Hope the rest of her life is more rewarding & useful than the famewhoring.Good luck kid.

BTW: If you wanna turn out a "just for kicks" sex tape.Sort of a middle finger to the hypocrisy of of "the business" ...I'm all eyes.

i know nothing about her, never seen anything she's been in so, i'm gonna have to go by what i've seen about her here on dlisted...

I liked her in Hairspray but that's the only thing I've ever seen her in I think?

By the way, I absolutely LOVE her haircolor. Does anyone know what shades of blond that is and how to achieve that haircolor? I have dark blond to light brown hair.

sexytime's picture

Good for her! She always seemed to be a class act and down-to-earth person, so this confirms that to me. Anyone who is turned off by all the sickening shallowness and soullessness of Hollywood sounds like a cool person to me.
