Amanda Bynes to Retire from Acting at age 24
Actress Amanda Bynes made a stunning announcement via her Twitter account yesterday. The young actress shocked everyone when she revealed that she’s retiring from acting at age 24.
“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,” she wrote on her Twitter account on Saturday. “Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem,” she added.
Later in the day, Bynes tweeted, “I don’t love acting anymore so I’ve stopped doing it.”
At 13, she joined the cast of “All That,” a Nickelodeon sketch-comedy show that developed an adult hipster audience. That show spun off “The Amanda Show” (1999-2000), which led to the WB’s teen hit “What I Like About You” (2002-06).
