beginning
Mandy Moore, signed to a music label at the age of 13, officially debuted as a singer at the age of 15, started making movies at the age of 18, and in the blink of an eye, she has been in the show business for 25 years.
However, although she has an extraordinary appearance, she was once overtaken by three singers, and at the same time, a bad marriage made her not release a film for 11 years, fortunately, she was on fire again through the TV series "This is Us", so what kind of life experience does such a successful actress have?
Today let's walk into Mandy Moore's marriage story.
History of fame
Born in April 1984 in Florida, USA, her grandmother is from London, England, is a professional ballet dancer, under the influence of her family, she has liked to act and sing from the bottom, and even took the initiative to receive professional training, she said: "My parents always thought that singing and dancing was only a hobby of my growth, but I not only persevered, but also begged them to ask for acting and vocal lessons. ”
Continuous learning and on-stage experience have brought her enough self-confidence, so that at the age of 13, she has begun to try to write songs for herself, and it is also in this year that her song samples were sent to the record company
Speaking of the experience of sending samples, Mandy said that she still feels that it is the plot of idol dramas, at that time, a courier overheard her singing voice and felt very beautiful, so he rushed to the door to disturb, and personally recorded Mandy's singing voice into a sample, and sent it to the relevant company, thanks to this, she successfully signed a contract, and while producing her own album, while serving as a touring guest for other artists under the company.
In 1999, her solo debut album went online and was certified platinum in sales, and although it was a complete hit, she was not very happy with the sweet songs that were as sweet as candy.
She said: "At that time, I didn't have any say, the company let me do whatever I wanted, to be honest, I really didn't like my work, if I could, I wanted to refund the money to the first person to buy my album." 」 ”
Of course, the work is one thing, the future of music is another. She said: "I really want to stay in this business as long as possible, and I would love to grow up with superstars like Madonna and Jenna Jackson. ”
So in 2001, her third album went live, and unlike the first two, the musical style of this album has no sweetness of industrial saccharin at all, but elegant, domineering, and very personal, once released, it was very popular, sold 1.5 million copies, and once those who said that she had no personal style, critics also commented: "It is diverse, vibrant, and worth listening to." ”
Later, on the fourth album, Mandy completely made himself back, walking in a nostalgic style, although the sales were not as good as the first three, but the work still received numerous praises, professionals said: "This is a qualitative leap, but also a complete farewell to the past 'blonde sweet girl' image of ambition." ”
At the same time, she crossed over to the film and television industry, voiced the bear in the movie "Doctor Strange Doolittle 2", in 2002, she first appeared on the big screen, the movie was called "The Princess Diaries", in which she played the bad girl Lana, because she was a very small supporting role, so she did not attract too much attention from fans, in the same year, she continued to grind in the film and television industry, and starred with actor Shane West in the romantic comedy "Memories of First Love".
Although the film still does not have any splash, her first time as a star, she still remembers this memory, she said: "I really liked it from the bottom of my heart, I remember that halfway through the performance, I was already crying out of breath, I know some people say it is cliché, but for me, this movie is like my first love, unforgettable." 」 ”
History of love
She has since starred in several well-received films and published two albums, but since 2009 she has rarely appeared in public. As for the reason, she got married.
It is reported that Mandy had three relationships before marriage, the first was the actor Wilmer Valderrama, who is four years older than the woman, and when the two were dating, Mandy was only 16 years old, but it didn't take long for them to break up.
However, in the fourth year of the breakup, the "ex" spoke boldly on the show: "I took her first night, and we were very compatible in every way." ”
In this regard, Mandy publicly denied it and accused the man of hurting himself. This is not the first time she has denied it, ten years later, she responded to the "First Night Say" on the show again, she said: "I have completely turned the page, and there is not even a French kiss between me and him, let alone the first night." ”
In 2004, she began her second relationship, the same actor, named Zach Bluff, who was 9 years older than her.
He graduated from the prestigious Northwestern University and became famous with the role of "John" in NBC's sitcom "The Growth of the Intern Doctor", but the most recognized by fans is his love movie "Love To New Jersey", in addition, he often writes and directs himself, and is called a very talented person by fans.
After the two formally dating, paparazzi stayed wherever they went all day and all night, trying to get first-hand information about the private lives of millennial female singers, but in such a situation without privacy, the man became more and more suffocated, he said: "Dating a super famous girl is not a pleasant thing." ”
As a result, the relationship lasted only three years and eventually ended up breaking up as well.
The feeling of lost love is not good, and in an interview with the media, Mandy said that the breakdown of the relationship has exacerbated her depression.
Then there's her first husband, Ryan Adams, a band singer who is a full ten-year-old Big Mandy, and the two officially married in 2009 after a brief relationship.
The decision to almost flash marriage is inseparable from her family's change, when her parents suddenly announced their divorce, which shocked her daughter, who had always thought that her parents were extremely loving.
She was even more reluctant to face such a cruel fact, so she tried to use another marriage to divert her attention and make her state as stable as possible, but all this was just her whimsy, because her husband was not as beautiful as she thought.
Her husband reportedly suffered from anxiety, depression and Meniere's syndrome, so he spent his days with alcohol and abused drugs. Although he was basically cured in 2006 with the help of his ex-girlfriend, after getting married, he relapsed from the old disease, most notably by controlling all of Mandy's career life, and constantly using various words to negate her talent and suppress her self-confidence.
Mandy once said: "In order to maintain the marriage, I can only do a little bit of work sporadically, and once I invest too much in my career, the family will immediately become a mess." He would also stop me in various ways, asking me to spend all my life on him and not allowing me to do anything else. ”
Therefore, the only highlight of Mandy's career in this marriage was that she voiced the protagonist in the Disney animation "Manhattan Adventure" released in 2010. The film grossed nearly $600 million worldwide, while the theme song she sang with another protagonist was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Still, she has no confidence in herself, with Mandy once saying: "Under Adams's various pressures, I don't believe myself more and more, and I even doubt my original intention to enter the music industry." ”
She added: "I was lost for a long time, as if I couldn't even find the meaning of life, and I kept asking myself, what am I doing? Is it time for me to give up everything? What can I do for the rest of my life? ”
Such a day, she endured for 7 years, fortunately, she finally woke up, in 2015, she officially released a divorce statement, claiming to have completely severed ties with her ex-husband.
Coincidentally, at the same time as she returned to singlehood, 6 women came out to testify against her ex-husband and also had "suppression" on them, and one of the women confessed: "Adams initially let me fall into his sweet trap on the grounds of 'being able to help me in my music career', and if I refused, he would block me and retaliate against me with related means." ”
This revelation also means that Mandy is not Adams' first victim. After leaving her unhappy marriage, she received an offer from the TV series "This Is Us", which she thought was the best way to return to Hollywood, so she agreed to the invitation without any hesitation.
After that, she became popular again for her role "Rebecca", and won the Emmy Award and the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress, as well as the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Group Acting twice.
In 2019, Mandy, who has been debuting for a full 20 years, finally stayed on the Walk of Fame, and the media said that she not only won a star of her own, but also won back her dignity.
More importantly, she rekindled her love of singing, and while recording the songs for "This Is Us," she stood in the studio and said, "That feeling is back, I enjoy it, and my passion is ignited again." ”
end
In January 2020, Mandy finally released her seventh solo album, in which one of the singles reflected on her past life and wrote about her feelings over the years.
I have to say that now she has been reborn, and in the long years, found the most comfortable posture, in addition, she once again has her own beautiful family, the man is a band singer, the two officially entered the palace of marriage in 2018, and ushered in the crystallization of love in 2021, at present, a family of three in California enjoy a warm life.
Bless this singer who has been reborn in Nirvana, and may her future days be warmer.
