Early on in Rachel McAdams' career, she was a mainstay of rom coms and teen comedies, from Mean Girls to The Hot Chick. Of course she's best known for playing the protagonist in one of the most popular romance movies of the 21st century thus far, The Notebook. Since then, she has played a variety of roles that range from knee-slapping comedies (Wedding Crashers and Game Night) to intense dramas (Disobedience and Spotlight). But she hasn't been acting very much in the last few years, which has been an intentional decision on her part. In a recent interview with Bustle, Rachel got candid about where she's been lately, what her family life looks like, and how she turned down some of the biggest movie roles to instead take a break from acting.
