Meg Ryan ‘Mortified’ By Latest Box Office Bomb, Debating Ditching Hollywood for Good: Report
Mortified Meg Ryan may quit showbiz for good after her movie comeback, What Happens Later, was savaged by critics and ignored at the box office, RadarOnline.com has learned.
One reviewer dismissed the floundering flick — which co-stars David Duchovny — as a “major disappointment,” while another gripped it “drags more than it delights!”
Now, insiders revealed the savage reviews — and lackluster ticket sales — have mopey Meg fearing she’s no longer America’s Sweetheart!
Sources spilled that the Sleepless in Seattle star, 62, stayed off the big screen for eight years because she “can’t take the heat” — and this public pummeling may push her toward private life forward!
“The fact her film is being crushed seems too much for her to take,” said a source. Fans are also picking apart the actress’ ever-changing face, and insiders spilled the putdowns that have rattled Meg’s already fragile self-esteem.
“She feels these attacks are just mean,” a source told The National Enquirer. “She can’t believe people don’t accept she’s not 25 anymore.”
Seattle-based plastic surgeon told the outlet he suspects Meg is the victim of a “botched” eyelid procedure and an “overdone facelift.”
Sources told The National Enquirer that Meg feels her time in Hollywood may be over. “No one would be surprised if Meg never makes another movie again!” said the insider.
