The Shutter Island actress Michelle Williams has aspirations outside of being a movie star and likes to think about all the other jobs she could potentially hold if she were to leave the profession. She told American Hobo magazine, “I often dream of quitting acting. Walking away and becoming a laundress or a sous chef or maybe writing other people’s love letters for a living.”
The 31-year-old star, who has recently completed filming My Week With Marilyn, in which she portrays screen icon Marilyn Monroe, has previously said she initially wanted to be a boxer when she was younger.
She said, “First I wanted to be a boxer. I don’t know why but I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. That was the dream.” However, Michelle instead left school at 15 and moved away from her parents to California where she landed a role in teen drama Dawson’s Creek before landing roles in films including Brokeback Mountain and Blue Valentine.
