Taking time away from work to raise your children is not a new concept, but for some reason, it is still difficult for some to accept when it comes to Hollywood celebrities. Recently, actors such as Ryan Reynolds and Tom Holland announced that they would be taking a break from acting to raise their children and start a family, respectively. Carrie-Anne Moss, star of The Matrix Resurrections, now claims that making the same decision years ago resulted in rumors of a “Hollywood blacklist.”
“Someone sent me one thing, a video someone had made,” Moss said in a December 21 interview with GQ. It go on to say “What became of Carrie Anne Moss? What made Hollywood turn its back on her? Or something along those lines. ‘Funny!'” I thought. “I had kids, and I wanted to be with them,” she added. Moss became pregnant with her first child, Owen, 18, while filming The Matrix Reloaded in 2003, and had two more with husband Steven Roy soon after: Jaden, 16, and Frances, 12. Moss made the decision at that point to embrace a “cozy-cozy” lifestyle.

She also became more involved in her “metaphysical life,” training to become a Kundalini practitioner and exploring all of the wellness options available in Los Angeles.She was finally ready to leave motherhood in 2016, when she was cast as Jeri Hogarth in the television adaptation of Marvel’s “Jessica Jones.” “I had been in this world with small children all the time, and I felt unable to talk to all the grownups,” she recalls.
Moss is thrilled to be reprising her role as Trinity. “We think of The Matrix as these systems of control over humanity, but the Matrix of our own minds…what that’s I want to break through all the time!” she said. What else am I if not a mother? What else am I if not a wife? If I’m not an actress, who am I? Who am I if not the daughter of my mother? “If I am not Trinity, who am I?”
