Boyhood star reveals he now works manual labor job in rural Texas after leaving Hollywood

Boyhood star Ellar Coltrane has shared what he’s been up to since stepping away from mainstream Hollywood — and it’s a world away from life on a movie set.

Coltrane, now 31, is best known for his starring role as Mason in Richard Linklater’s 2014 coming-of-age drama Boyhood. The film, which was shot over the course of 12 years with the same cast, chronicled Mason’s childhood and adolescence in Texas. The movie also starred Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s divorced parents, and the director’s daughter, Lorelei Linklater, as Mason’s sister.
