The Matrix actress Carrie-Anne Moss, aged 56, has disclosed the true motive behind her departure from Los Angeles after three decades, opting for a move to rural New Hampshire with her husband Steven Roy and their three children in 2020.
Having portrayed Trinity in The Matrix series alongside Keanu Reeves’ Neo, Moss expressed to People her family’s yearning for a more serene existence, away from the bustling urban life of Los Angeles, seeking a deeper connection with nature.
Reflecting on her journey, Moss reminisced about her initial move to LA in the early 1990s for her role in Dark Justice, never anticipating landing the iconic role of Trinity in The Matrix, a pivotal moment that reshaped her life.
The relocation has afforded Moss the opportunity to delve into practices such as meditation and Kundalini yoga, which have enriched her parenting journey with her children, now aged 21, 18, and 15.
Celebrating her upcoming 25th wedding anniversary, Moss expressed her profound love and admiration for her husband, emphasizing the joy they find in their shared experiences.
Despite her illustrious career, highlighted by The Matrix trilogy’s monumental success, Moss faced questions about Hollywood’s purported indifference towards her, attributing her hiatus to prioritizing her family.
In her latest endeavor, Moss portrays Jedi Master Indara in the forthcoming Star Wars series, The Acolyte, set approximately 100 years before the events depicted in The Phantom Menace. The show, created by Leslye Headland, will explore the enigmatic era of the High Republic, offering a unique perspective from the Sith’s point of view and marking a significant milestone in the Star Wars universe’s expansive lore.
