Most of us believe that to be a Hollywood star is the ultimate dream. All the glamour, the fame, the money and the movies - everything seems perfect. Surprisingly, those probably did not matter that much to these celebrities, because they decided to ditch the bright lights and paparazzi shots to undertake a much more average career path. Here are 5 of them:

1. Jack Gleeson. After getting killed off the show, Game of Thrones' Joffrey Baratheon announced his retirement from the craft to achieve an academic career.
