Modern Family actor on why he ‘left Hollywood
Burrell described the move as "spectacular" and a "great place to raise the kids," despite initially finding the outdoorsy lifestyle an adjustment.
Ariel Winter, who played Burrell's on-screen daughter, also decided to leave Los Angeles after the series wrapped in April 2020.
Winter's decision stemmed from severe childhood trauma, including negative press about her appearance from a young age and a difficult relationship with her mother.
She clarified that she has not left the acting industry but moved from Los Angeles as the city held "not-great memories" for her.

The Goonies star who went woke making unhinged rants online is seen on rare outing... can you guess who?
She is a veteran actress best known for her work in classic film The Goonies which was released in 1985. The actress who has had a career spanning nearly 45 years is a nepo baby as both her parents were thespians. More recently the star has created more buzz offscreen as she routinely posts unhinged rants on social media. She has been branded woke by the likes of Daily Mail's Maureen Callahan and several users on X (formally Twitter) for her takes on the Trump administration and issues like abortion. Now she has been seen on a rare outing in Los Angeles. Can you guess who the actress is? It's Martha Plimpton! The 54-year-old New York native was seen on a recent errand run in Southern California. She donned a sleeveless blue midi dress along with black flip flop sandals. Her signature blonde hair was cut into a pixy cut as it was elegantly dishevelled. Martha showcased her evergreen looks by going make-up free on the outing. The longtime actress has been blasted by several social media users for her rants online including one earlier this year where she celebrated Beyonce's Best Country Music Album win at the Grammy Awards in February by accusing the Trump administration of a coup. She posted a self-taken video with a lengthy caption which began: 'Don't get me wrong. I am PSYCHED about Beyonce winning #BestCountryAlbum tonight. F***ing Great! BUT. What. The. F***. We are in the midst of a #coup. 'Call your Senators and tell them to #SHUTDOWNTHESENATE and take a page from Mitch McConnell's playbook: OPPOSE ALL NOMINEES, REJECT UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUESTS, VOTE NO ON ALL CLOTURE AND PROCEDURAL VOTES, AND REQUEST QUORUM CALLS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.. USE EVERY PROCEDURAL MANEUVER TO GRIND EVERYTHING TO A STOP. This is no joke.' An X user reposted her Instagram and wrote: 'Staunch liberal accounts like Martha Plimpton are suddenly sounding like the left 10 years ago: "Why is the media complicit in this?" "Where the F are the Democrats as all of this is going down??" You mocked us for catching on long before you, Marf. Shrug. 'And of course - she somehow feels obligated to mention that Beyonce won a Grammy in the midst of all this because: liberal. Can't stop. Won't stop.' Martha has also been a passionate abortion advocate over the years as she famously has 'I [heart] Abortion.' on her Instagram bio. On July 4, 2024 she even posted a meme which read: 'little known fact" The "A" in America stands for "Abortion."' Even her followers took issue with the post in the comments section as one wrote: '"I love abortion" pretty insensitive comment. since to many it is a the most important and sometimes traumatic decision a woman may make in her life.' Another said: 'I'm pro life.. Love that a child that was conceived gets a chance to live, but I would never force any woman to have a child if she chose not to, but I would try to convince her to have the child and if she didn't want to raise the child to give it up fir adoption to a family that would raise it.. I mean hey yourmotger had you, have you a chance to live.. I bet your happy about that!!' Back in 2018, Martha caused an uproar over the comments she made at a #ShoutYourAbortion event which circulated online at the time. Addressing a crowd of supporters, Plimpton, who has spoken publicly of the two abortions she had as a young woman in the past, said at town hall session: 'Seattle has some particular significance for me for lots of reasons. An X user reposted her Instagram and wrote: 'Staunch liberal accounts like Martha Plimpton are suddenly sounding like the left 10 years ago: "Why is the media complicit in this?" "Where the F are the Democrats as all of this is going down??" You mocked us for catching on long before you, Marf. Shrug 'I've got a lot of family here, some of whom are here in the audience tonight. 'I also had my first abortion here at the Seattle Planned Parenthood! Yay!' As the audience cheered, she went on: 'Notice I said 'first'...and I don't want Seattle — I don't want you guys to feel insecure, it was my best one. 'Heads and tails above the rest. If I could Yelp review it, I totally would. 'And if that doctor's here tonight, I don't remember you at all, I was 19. I was 19, but I thank you nonetheless,' she said, as the crowd cheered. 'You probably won't remember because I wasn't that famous then,' she concluded, jokingly. As Plimpton revealed her abortion at the event in June 2018, the pro-choice audience which had gathered to hear her embraced her honesty and cheered her on. But the starlet, who has also appeared in The Good Wife, received a frostier reaction online. Pro-life internet users were outraged by her comments in Seattle and slammed them as 'tacky' and 'abysmal' online. 'How can you be proud of this?' asked one critic. Others said the actress's remarks were 'disgusting' and 'disturbing'. Another said: 'It's one thing to be pro-choice but a sad thing to brag about your abortion shame on u.' Plimpton dated actor River Phoenix for years in the late 80s and early 90s. They are seen at the 1989 Oscars when she was 18. River died in 1993 of a drug overdose One likened her comments to a 'total disregard for human life'. Plimpton has spoken in the past about having two abortions when she was a young actress. 'For me in particular, because I did have two abortions as a young woman, I feel that my ability to access that kind of medical care made it possible for me to live out my dreams and do what I really want to do in life,' she told ABC in 2015. In 1989, the year she turned 19, she was in a relationship with actor River Phoenix. The pair appeared together in films including Running On Empty and they stayed together for several years before Phoenix's death in 1993 from a cocaine and heroin overdose. The younger brother of actor Joaquin, River had been watching Johnny Depp's band at The Viper Room when he died outside. Plimpton did not mention him or make reference to who her unborn baby's father was when she addressed her abortion in June. #ShoutYourAbortion, the organization which hosted the event where she made the comments, encourages women who have undergone abortions to talk about them in order to remove the stigma many attach to the procedure. The campaign manufactures t-shirts emblazoned with the words 'abortion is freedom' and 'everyone knows I had an abortion'. Plimpton previously promoted another of its garments - a shift dress with the word printed across it in bold, black lettering. The star was 15 when she appeared in the 1985 classic The Goonies. She has since gone on to appear in an array of films and movies including Raising Hope and Parenthood. Plimpton grew up engulfed in showbiz. Her grandfather was John Carradine and both her parents (Keith Carradine and Shelley Plimpton) are actors. She began dating Phoenix in the late 80s after starring with him in the film Running On Empty. She is also on the board of directors of A is For, a charity which seeks to advance 'women's reproductive rights and end the stigma on abortion care'. Since launching in 2015 with one woman's Facebook post, #ShoutYourAbortion has gathered thousands of supporters around the world.

Britney Spears shows off painful sunburn in a bright pink bikini
Britney Spears spent too much time in the sun and as a result got a nasty sunburn. The singer, 43, who nearly lost her eyebrows several months ago, shared some photos on social media Monday in which her usually fair skin was a bright as her pink string bikini. The Circus singer posed provocatively, pulling down one side of her bottoms, indicating she had been laying out in the nude as there were no tan lines. Her long, blond hair was styled away from her face in messy waves and she wore camera ready makeup with a red lip. The Oops!... I Did It Again singer was barefoot, but wore a thick black choker around her neck. The Billboard Music Award winner shared a cheeky snap of her bottom in a side shot which clearly showed the change in her skin tone. The photos were posted without comment and have since been deleted from her Instagram account. Spears, who has been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, allegedly had an outburst after she was prevented from lighting a cigarette on a public charter fright from San Lucas, Mexico to Los Angeles in May. Police bodycam footage obtained by Entertainment Tonight shows the pop diva peacefully deplaning in LA without incident. In the video, a police officer can be heard saying she 'didn't take her meds,' but no further action was taken. In July Spears told her fans in a social media post she had ' adopted a beautiful baby girl' named Lennon London Spears, which turned out to be a joke. An insider told Daily Mail she was simply 'trying to be funny' and garner a reaction. 'Britney was just having fun when she announced that she would be adopting a girl,' our source confirmed. 'She did it for a laugh, she isn't adopting a daughter, and it also doesn't mean anything else like her getting a dog. She was just trying to be funny and see who would bite.' The hitmaker is reportedly working on her relationship with her son Jayden, 18, with whom she has recently reunited. She shares the teen and his brother Sean Preston, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. ''Jayden is her rock right now and if there was ever anything that broke this bond Britney would be crushed,' the insider said. 'He is all she talks about. She is helping his career and providing for him financially. He is living large now.' In the past, Jayden, has admitted to being embarrassed by his mother's social media posts. 'It's like almost as if she has to put something on Instagram to get attention,' he told ITV in 2022. 'This has gone on for years and years and years, and there's a high chance that this is never going to really stop, but I'm hoping for me, maybe she will.'
