Is Ryan Phillippe so fed up with the paparazzi that he’s quiting acting?

The actor spoke with the NY Post at the premiere of his new movie “The Bang Bang Club” on Friday night, and admitted that he’s so sick of the paparazzi, he was thinking about calling it quits on his 20-year-old acting career.

“I think I’m going to end my acting career,” he told the Post. “I’m so introverted. I’m ready to be behind the scenes. I’m 36, but I’ve been doing this for 20 years.”

He could be sick of the cameras because he has either dated – or been married to – some of the hottest women in Hollywood. He was married to Reese Witherspoon, and is currently dating Amanda Seyfried.

But…..he’s not ready to quit for good. Access Hollywood reports that an unnamed source says that the comments were taken out of context, and that Phillippe is looking to expand his behind-the-scenes efforts, along with continuing to do some acting.

Actor Ryan Phillippe is so proud to have 11-year-old Ava and 7-year-old Deacon as his children.

When Ryan was asked what he loves most about being a father at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of The Bang Bang Club, he was very enthusiastic. “Everything! Everything! I can’t pick one thing!”

In the film, Ryan, 36, portrays a real-life combat photographer who covered the unrest in post-apartheid South Africa in the early ’90s. At home, his life is much simpler, as he balances the pressures of fame to create a good life for his kids. “It’s pretty easy,” Ryan said. “I don’t work all the time, so months go by when I’m at home with the kids full time. It’s not that much of a challenge.”

It’s been an eventful year for the handsome actor. Reese recently wed Hollywood agent Jim Toth, and Ryan is rumored to have moved on with girlfriend Amanda Seyfried, 25. But controversy struck again when ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp revealed she was pregnant with Ryan’s child in March. Until the baby is born in June, Ryan is reportedly waiting for a paternity test to confirm that he is indeed the father. But The Bang Bang Club’s director, Steven Silver, is fully convinced that Ryan will handle all of his challenges with strength and dignity. “Ryan is tough as hell,” Steven told In Touch. “He’s had a lot of stuff thrown at him, and he just handles it.”

Newlywed Reese Witherspoon hit the red carpet with costar Robert Pattinson on Sunday for the world premiere of ‘Water For Elephants’.

While on the red carpet, US Weekly asked the actress how it felt being married!

“It feels great!” Witherspoon gushed to Us Weekly.

The actress recently returned from her honeymoon in Belize with Toth, 40; her kids with ex Ryan Phillippe, Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7, also came along.

Balancing her brand-new married life with promotional duties is just fine, she said. “Everything’s just great!”

Plus, she added, film premieres get her closer to other VIPs in her life. “This is an opportunity to really connect with the fans,” Witherspoon said. “It’s a nice opportunity for me to connect with the people who actually go and see the movies.

She and costar Pattinson, 24, gave each other warm hugs at the premiere — but Witherspoon joked that she still hasn’t gotten a gift from her sexy costar. “Not yet! And I am waiting!” she joshed. “Tick Tock! You can tell him I am waiting.”

The next morning, Witherspoon opened up some more about her nuptials — and fan support — on Good Morning America.

“[The wedding] was a really nice day,” Witherspoon told Robin Roberts of the rustic, chic bash. Plus, her fans approve of her new guy. “I had a whole chat with a guy named George yesterday [in NYC]..He said..”I like your husband. I think this guy is a good guy.’ I said, ‘Thank you George… I feel the same way!”

“It’s nice when people support you,” she added. “It feels really good to be loved … so much love coming at you from different places.”

Reese Witherspoon is Vogue’s May cover girl. In the article, she promotes her new movie ‘Water For Elephants’ – but ends up talking about everything from her new husband Jim Toth to what it’s like to be a A-List celebrity.

On the tabloid obsession with her life:

“Yeah,” she says. “It usually heats up during, like, pregnancies or babies or marriage. It’s the drama of real life. . . . It’s interesting to people. Readers want to know! I was talking to an actress the other day who is pregnant right now, and she was like, ‘What is it? What’s the deal?’ She said, ‘Oh, maybe once I have the baby no one will pay any attention,’ and I was like, ‘Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!!!’ ” She exaggeratedly tosses her head back. “ ‘Oh, yeah. They will leave you alone after you have the baby. Suuure. That’s exactly how it works.’ ”

On what it’s like to be a celebrity:

“You know, it can be a crazy life. Sometimes you feel like you are on a speeding train and you just don’t know where it’s going. You can start to lose your identity and what it is that you are really working for.” Like a lot of working women, she’s constantly looking for the right balance. “I don’t wake up to make movies. I wake up to have a wonderful family and to cultivate the best life for all of us, and it’s great to now have a partner in that. We have a lot of family meetings. ‘Mom’s going to be away and coming home on the weekends. How does everybody feel about that?’ It’s always military operations around here. Lots of different moving parts. I have my moments when I feel like I’m just going to collapse and I can’t do it anymore and I’m failing at everything. Like, you’re kind of good at a bunch of stuff but not really good at anything.”

The perks of being famous:

“I get hugged a lot,” she says. “Which is fun. Mostly it’s all good, positive energy that comes to me. I like people. And at the end of the day, we’re all just people, you know? We’re all just going through it. Nobody’s life experience is all that much different than anyone else’s. We’ve all had our share of heartbreak. It’s the universal language of life.”

On her new husband, Jim Toth:

“He’s wonderful,” she says, beaming. “He’s just a really great guy, and I feel really lucky. It’s so cute: Over the holidays I was at a department store in L.A. with my friends, and these three women from Oklahoma came up to me, and they said”—she lays on a thick Southern drawl—“ ‘Reese. We are so happy for yeeew. We liiike this guy for yeeew.’ And I said, ‘You do?!’ ‘Yes, ma’am. We think he is a niiice man. We think he is going to treat you well and be good to yeeew.’ I was like, ‘Really?’ So sweet! And I told them my mother likes him very much, too. I have had my share of heartbreak. But I think your friends really know when you are at your happiest. Even though I am nervous and excited and all those things people feel when they are about to get married, I think I am mostly very calm right now. Usually, I’m a little bit of a squirrel. I have a squirrelly energy.”

At the moment I am not buzzing around all squirrelly and nervous. I just feel really lucky to be with someone who cares so much and is so kind and loving. You know? It’s a really nice thing to finally have that.”

Much more after the jump!

She looks hot!

When Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth on Saturday, the second-time bride ditched traditional white for her dress.

Instead, the Oscar winner, 35, wore a strapless, pale pink gown custom-designed by Monique Lhuillier as she swapped vows with Toth at her Ojai, Calif. ranch, the new Us Weekly reveals.

Witherspoon paired her dress with satin Jimmy Choo platform sandals (price tag: $645). Her agent hubby Toth, 40, wore a gray Rag & Bone suit.

Did Witherspoon, who divorced Ryan Phillippe in 2007, avoid a two-time bride blunder by eschewing bridal white?

Nah. “White is totally fine, but so are other colors,” Julie Raimondi, editor in chief of Brides.com tells Us of Witherspoon’s pale pink choice.

Not that Witherspoon totally avoided that traditional hue during her rustic, country-themed fete. When it came time for the reception (complete with sit-down dinner, dancing and s’mores!) with family and A-listers like Scarlett Johansson and Renee Zellweger, Witherspoon changed into a short, white cocktail dress.

I want to see a picture of it!

Reese Witherspoon wed boyfriend Jim Toth at her Ojai, California ranch Saturday evening!

US Weekly has the details!

In a courtyard in front of the Ojai house, the Monique Lhuillier-clad actress, 35, and CAA agent Toth, 40, exchanged vows and William Goldberg wedding bands beneath a canopy.

About 120 family members and friends– including Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey and love Camila Alves, Alyssa Milano, Colin Hanks, Isla Fisher and hubby Sacha Baron Cohen– were on hand for the bash.

Reverend Jimmy Bartz, of the Santa Monica church regularly attended by the couple, officiated the 20-minute service, and Witherspoon’s children (with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe) Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7, participated in the ceremony.

Matron of honor duties went to Witherspoon’s best friend Heather Rosenfield, whose little boys served as ring bearers; the star’s nieces were flower girls.

In a fitting turn for the Southern-born actress, a bluegrass band played “Tennessee Waltz” as the processional music for Toth and the kids, segueing to “Here Comes the Bride” for Witherspoon’s walk, and playing “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” during the ceremony.

Immediately following the “I do” exchange, guests retreated to a one-hour cocktail party behind the house.

The special night’s theme? Rustic, farm-style, of course! (At her bucolic Ojai spread, Witherspoon gardens and keeps horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens.) The outdoor decor included lanterns and chandeliers hanging from trees, mismatched antique chairs and distressed benches set throughout the property, a wood plank dance floor, antique leather sofas, jute rugs, wago wheels and Turkish textile pillows.

Different arrangements of white, blush and lavender flowers were set up on each table in mason jars, fish catcher lanterns and antique pots. And large moss-covered pots with lavender were set up all over the estate.

When it was time for dinner, guests sat down at long tables in a fabric-lined tent behind the house. On the menu, catered by L.A. eatery Lucques: endive salad with olives and fava beans; wild striped bass with? potatoes, chanterelles and garlic; mustard grilled chicken with haricort vert and herb roasted lamb with braised artichokes. For dessert? A grand wedding cake designed by Erica O’Brien, a separate table of sweet treats — and a s’mores lounge!

After the meal, guests boogied on the dance floor to DJ-spun tunes. When it was time to call it a night, revelers departed clutching gift bags with pecan currant scones from a local baker.

Says a pal of the couple, who began dating in January 2010: “They feel like they’ve hit the jackpot in this relationship!”
