British actor JOSEPH FIENNES’ life has been turned upside down since moving out to Hollywood – he compares his new Los Angeles existence to a “witness protection” program.
The Shakespeare In Love star moved to Los Angeles to set up home with his then-lover, model Maria Dolores Dieguez, after landing regular TV work on sci-fi drama hit Flash Forward.
And Fiennes claims living in L.A. is a completely different experience than his existence in the U.K. – because he has started afresh in a every aspect of his life.
He tells Britain’s Now magazine, “I feel like I’m in witness protection. I’ve got a new wife, a new bank account, a new car and a new home. It’s been exhilarating, but also exhausting.”
There’s a new article on Joe in The Guardian! He talks about 2,000 Feet Away (his new play), life after Shakespeare in Love and trying to escape typecasting in Hollywood. Take a look:

Joseph Fiennes claims he doesn’t remember the look on Harvey Weinstein’s face when he turned down a five-picture deal with Miramax in the late 90s in order to do more theatre. He does, however, remember his reasoning. “I could see it in the piles of scripts: I’m not going to get the roles I want, but how do I challenge that? I wanted freedom.”
