Josh Duhamel Ditches Hollywood for Family and a Cabin in the Woods—But Why?

Josh Duhamel is breaking away from the glamorous world of Hollywood to embrace a more grounded life in Minnesota. The actor recently built himself a cozy cabin deep in the woods, where he can escape the chaos of celebrity life and focus on what really matters—spending quality time with family. In a recent interview, he explained that he feels a strong calling to return to his roots, literally and metaphorically. Who knew that a little fresh air and elbow grease could be so appealing?

Gone are the days of being surrounded by excessive luxury; Duhamel is diving headfirst into a lifestyle full of basic skills like fixing things and making memories with his two sons, Axl and Shepherd. He describes the joy of being disconnected from the distractions of modern living, highlighting the importance of simpler pleasures. But let’s be honest, how long until he misses his poolside Hollywood parties? Or will the only parties he wants are the ones with s’mores by the campfire?

The move to Minnesota has also brought Duhamel closer to his parents, which means more family visits and dinners, at least as long as Dad isn’t grilling burnt burgers. He’s cultivating a “central hub” for his family which, let’s be real, is probably the best part about this rustic retreat. So, will this trend catch on with more celebrities looking for a simpler life? Would you trade Hollywood glitz for a serene cabin vibe?
