Keke Palmer Talks Retiring, Reveals When She Might Step Away From Spotlight

Keke Palmer is opening up about when she quite working in the entertainment business.

The 30-year-old actress, singer and Emmy award-winning host has been working for the past 20 years, when she made her debut in the movie Barbershop 2: Back in Business.

Since then, Keke has starred in TV shows, movies, and has hosted GMA3, as well as the Password reboot.

In a new interview, Keke revealed when she might retire, and hints that it could be sooner than you think.

“I don’t know. I think the timer has started,” she told Teen Vogue, with a laugh. “I think it’s because I just haven’t felt it yet. But the timer, I know that it’s around the corner. I don’t know when exactly, but it’s around the corner.”

In this phase of her career, Keke has now also taken a behind-the-scenes role after launching her KeyTV platform, and is now taking on less acting projects.

“When I was younger, I used to have so much anxiety,” she shared. “I love to perform, but is that something that can last forever? I think I always would wonder, Is it something that times out? Obviously, you have people that have been acting their entire careers…. but I just never knew how I could scale myself.”

Now, Keke prefers jobs where her son Leo can be on set, or ones she scan do from home.

If you missed it, Keke is among the star-studded cast of Jennifer Lopez‘s new musical project This Is Me…Now: A Love Story. Watch the trailer!
