Tom Green reveals why he fled Hollywood for good: ‘I’m very relieved’

The New York Times published Saturday as he promotes his new documentary, aptly titled, “This Is the Tom Green Documentary,” which dropped Friday on Amazon Prime Video.“I’m not really a Hollywood guy,” explained the Canadian native, who currently lives with chickens, a mule and a donkey on a 150-acre farm in a remote area of Ontario. “I started to feel like I wasn’t being true to my authentic self.” Glenn Humplik, Green’s sidekick on his ’90s MTV show, told the outlet that the relocation made sense to him, given how he has come to know the star over the years.“Tom is actually really reserved usually and serious,” Humplik said. “He’s very analytical about every single comedy bit and thing that he does.

It’s not just a primitive demonstration. He understands why something is funny or not. And it goes beyond just comedy — about life.

He really reflects on things a lot. Maybe too much sometimes.”Green’s move from the Hollywood Hills to a farm in Ontario, Canada, will be further documented in the upcoming Prime Video series “Tom Green Country,” which premieres Friday, Jan.

31.“People are probably going to be surprised that I’m not, like, completely crazy,” he said of the series.“There’s a sort of a wholesome heartwarming thing to this — that I have a close relationship with my family, that I love animals, that I enjoy doing a lot of things that a great many people in the world enjoy doing, like getting out into the woods.”Four years after leaving Los Angeles, Green has no regrets.“I’m very relieved that somehow I ended up making the choice to come back to Canada,” he told Yahoo Canada recently.
