Keeping Out Of The Spotlight – These Hollywood Stars Walked Away

12. Chris Klein

Chris Klein was a poster boy for the “all-american jock.” He was beautiful, athletic, tall and many women the world over had crushes on him. He starred in the trilogy of American Pie movies (1999, 2001 & 2012), 1999’s Election with Reeese Witherspoon, 2000’s Here On Earth, 2002’s Rollerball, 2003’s The United States of Leland, and many others. But, he didn’t seem to ever get to real big A-list Hollywood status.

Chris, who is of English, Irish, German and Jewish descent, was involved in a few modeling campaigns. He even got engaged to A-lister Katie Holmes, but eventually met his future wife at a mutual friend’s wedding and they have two children together. His last released movie was 2018’s The Competition, opposite Thora Birch.
