Josh Hartnettis delving into terrifying moments from his past… revealing that he left Hollywood because he was being stalked — including by someone he says came to his location with a gun.
The actor spoke to The Guardian via Zoom from his estate in Hampshire, England… a vast rural area where he lives with his wife, in part because living in Los Angeles started to feel too dangerous.
JH says that wasn’t the only reason he left Los Angeles about 20 years ago… however, it didn’t help that people started showing up at his house.
Hartnett says these were incidents of outright stalking… including that a man once “showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in jail.”
Basically, Hartnett was nervous about being crushed by fame… and determined to turn his life around before Hollywood could take it away.
Clearly, Hartnett is still making movies… including M. Night Shyamalan’s “Lure,” a psychological horror thriller opening this week in which he plays a serial killer who must evade a stadium-wide police operation, an ideal way to get inside the minds of his own pursuers.

Hartnett says his career path is simply working for him, in fact… he even spends a lot of time with his kids, which he probably wouldn’t otherwise.
That said, it seems like his career could have taken a different path… however, H’wooden himself made the man feel trapped.
