Taylor Kitsch, star of Friday Night Lights, bids farewell to California: ‘LA was never a great fit.’
Taylor Kitsch Finds Peace in Montana
Friday Night Lights’ star Taylor Kitsch has left behind the hustle and bustle of California and found solace in Montana. The actor, known for his role in Netflix’s Painkiller, revealed that his move out of Los Angeles has brought him “so much peace.”
“Being in LA was never a great thing for me, and I love being out here — there’s just so much peace to grasp,” Kitsch told the Hollywood Reporter. “I got a later start in the business, and I was able to have a sense of who I was and what I needed.”
Not only has Kitsch found personal fulfillment in Montana, but he is also working on a meaningful project. He is creating a nature retreat in Bozeman, Montana, specifically designed for veterans and individuals recovering from addiction.
“That’s what this place represents to me: It’s not going to solve every problem, but hopefully it will help at least one person work toward what they need,” Kitsch said. “I’m just really excited about this, about it being a base camp for people to empower themselves.”
Kitsch’s dedication to supporting veterans stems from his friendship with retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, whom he met while working on a film together. Luttrell has helped Kitsch gain a deeper understanding of how to support loved ones in their journey to sobriety.
“The stakes were very life-and-death, and Marcus was one of the few people I called for help,” the actor said. “When you get into that community, it’s like you’re a brother for life, and it’s really beautiful.”
Currently, Kitsch is constructing an A-frame house that will serve as the central meeting place for the recovery center. He has personally funded every aspect of the project’s budget and is grateful to have found a charitable passion far away from the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles.
