Bizarre Post-Fame Lives Of 18 Former Celebrities

So much so that some well-known persons opt to quietly stop doing what they're recognized for and pursue other interests. And that something else can be quite strange at times.  From Rick Moranis becoming an ‘agoraphobic cowboy’ to Tom Selleck’s bizarrely unprofitable avocado farm sometimes celebrities find themselves falling down very odd rabbit holes.
