How Fergie’s Fame Contributed To The Downfall Of Her Marriage To Josh Duhamel

The glitz and fanfare that comes with being a celebrity might sound like a dream to some, but for Josh Duhamel, the lifestyle quickly lost its charm. While Fergie took to it like a bee to a flower, Duhamel felt “uncomfortable.”

During an appearance on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger,” Duhamel admitted that the “Glamorous” life with Fergie just wasn’t the right fit for him. After being under the spotlight for so long, he began to crave normalcy. “I don’t think I ever really got comfortable with all of it,” he told Bensinger. “I just missed the simplicity of who I really am, you know?” Duhamel, a self-professed “Doomsday prepper,” stated he feels more at home in the wilderness working on his North Dakotan cabin in the woods than on a stuffy red carpet.

The “Transformers” actor went on to express relief that he didn’t lose himself to stardom. “If I’m there and I get caught up in that world, you start to lose track of who you are,” he said. “And I don’t think I’ve ever done that, thankfully, but there’ve been moments where I could have gone off the grid, for sure.” He added, “Hollywood, L.A., and that whole lifestyle can suck the soul out of you, if you’re not careful.”
