Amy Adams Spills The Tea On Why She Waited 14 Years To Marry Darren Le Gallo

Picture this: being the center of attention isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but waiting 14 years to tie the knot? That’s some serious commitment to avoiding the spotlight. Hollywood darling Amy Adams finally revealed the reason behind her long wait to marry her husband, Darren Le Gallo, in May 2015. And let me tell you, it’s a story worth hearing!

From the Red Carpet to the Altar: Amy Adams Opens Up

During a heartfelt moment at the 2017 American Cinematheque Awards, Amy was celebrated for her incredible contributions to cinema. When asked how it felt to have everyone gathered in her honor, she dropped a bombshell. “It’s like worse than my wedding,” she joked to E! News. But then, realizing how that might sound, she elaborated, “I’m not the kind of person who thrives in the spotlight. In fact, I avoided getting married for a really long time because I just don’t like people looking at me.”

Why Being the Center of Attention Isn’t Always Fun

Now, you might think it’s odd for an actress to delay such a monumental event just because of the spotlight. But Amy explained the difference between acting and real-life moments. “I don’t like to be the center of attention,” she admitted. “When I’m promoting a film, I can focus on the movie or the director. But on a night like tonight, where it’s all about me, it becomes very singular.” But don’t worry—she didn’t hate her intimate California wedding. In fact, she had a great time. “It just takes me a while to relax in those situations,” she confessed.

A Different Story in 2013?

Back in 2013, Amy gave another reason for the delay, saying, “We both have a very specific idea that we want to have a ceremony in spring or fall. But every time, I’m busy working. I want something very family-oriented and laid-back.” While this explanation sounds reasonable, it’s easy to see why fans might think she was just stalling. After all, who wouldn’t want to plan the perfect day with Amy Adams?
