In a recent revelation, American actor and singer Keke Palmer, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry since her tween years, shared insights into her future plans in Hollywood. The 30-year-old artist expressed her contemplation of retirement, emphasizing that the prospect might be sooner rather than later.
Quoting Teen Vogue, Palmer mentioned, “I don’t know. I think the timer has started.” Reflecting on her career, she acknowledged not having felt the right moment yet but suggested that retirement is “around the corner.”
Addressing the concept of legacy, the Emmy-winning actor underscored the importance of paving the way for her son, Leo, and fellow artists to succeed. Palmer emphasized using one’s power for good, advocating for the creation of spaces and systems that empower others rather than hoarding opportunities.
Discussing her parenting approach, Palmer expressed her desire to instill fearlessness and confidence in her son’s ability to learn. She highlighted the significance of unconditional self-love as a foundation for fostering positive relationships and contributing to others’ empowerment.
Looking ahead to her role as a performer, Palmer founded KeyTV Network to provide a platform for other creatives. Reflecting on her past anxieties about the longevity of her performance career, she expressed a commitment to exploring various options and scaling herself in the industry.
Sharing her perspective on career evolution, Palmer likened it to other professions, stating, “If you were a lawyer, you want to get to be a partner. I didn’t understand what the version of that was for me. Some people become directors or they become producers or they become the head of Paramount.”
Notably, Palmer has recently joined the cast of Aziz Ansari’s project, “Good Fortune,” alongside Ansari, Keanu Reeves, and Seth Rogen. Additionally, she achieved a milestone by winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host in 2023 for “Password,” becoming the first woman to do so in fifteen years.
