Liev Schreiber and his thoughts on fame

American actor and director, Liev Schreiber, 56 is now a Hollywood veteran. He has given several splendid films to the world. He has gained a lot of fame and people’s love.

Recently, Liev spoke to Haute Living magazine and gave his opinion and thoughts on fame and how it affects the celebrity’s life. Liev feels that fame does not imply happiness always. Fame can have negative repercussions on the life of the famous person. He feels that what matters the most is how your work helps people’s lives.

Liev elaborated:

“I work for hire, as they say, and like to make money,”
“I have a growing family. The older I get, the more I think I want it to matter when I work. Of course, it doesn’t always — in fact, it rarely does — but it’s nice when it does, when one of your jobs means something to people. That feels good, like the job does what it was supposed to do in the beginning, which is to connect you to people.”

He continued:

“When you’re young, you think that’s what being famous will do, make you happy, make you desired. And then you realize that’s not the case.”

Liev wants to do projects that he likes

The actor prefers to take up roles that he is passionate about. He has done innumerable projects in TV, films, and Broadway and seems to be now confident of himself. But Liev corrects:

“I’m only truly confident with characters,”

And he continued:

“You forget that sometimes, because when you do something for a while, people think you’re good or attractive — something you want to be in real life — but it was just a character that you created. I think that’s the problem with fame; you start to believe your own press. A real career in the arts is about trying to figure out identity. My consistent hang-up has been this thing about not wanting to suck, about trying to be smart and to elevate, so it was an exciting thing to do the play because it felt like a risk, just like The Perfect Couple did.”

Liev’s personal life

The Perfect Couple actor was dating British actress, Naomi Watts for many years. They did shooting together for the film, The Painted Veil in 2005 and started a relationship. The couple has two children together. They are Sasha born in 2007 and Kai whom they welcomed in 2008. However, they split after 11 years on 26 September 2016. They issued a joint statement on this matter that read:

“Over the past few months we’ve come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple. It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship,”
“While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy.”

In 2017, Liev started dating Taylor Neisen, 2012 winner Miss South Dakota who went on to represent the state at the Miss USA Pageant. They wed on 4 July 2023. She delivered their baby girl oon 27 August 2023.
