Rick Moranis, the beloved star of '80s and '90s classics like Ghostbusters, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and Spaceballs, left Hollywood in 1997 to focus on raising his children after his wife, Ann, died in 1991. He stayed out of the spotlight for over two decades, doing occasional voice work but avoiding on-screen roles. In 2020, fans were thrilled by his return in a Mint Mobile ad with Ryan Reynolds and news of his reprisal in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequel, Shrunk, bringing a wave of joy and nostalgia.
