Rick Moranis, the beloved actor known for his roles in films like The Little Shop of Horrors and Ghostbusters, was recently spotted in a rare candid photograph during a rainy day outing in New York City. Moranis, who will turn 71 in April, was dressed appropriately for the weather in a blue jacket, matching shirt, tan pants, and black shoes, topped off with a multicolored knit cap.
The actor, who has not appeared in a live-action feature film for over 25 years, has kept a low profile since being randomly attacked in New York City in October 2020. Following the tragic death of his wife in 1991, Moranis decided to step back from Hollywood to focus on raising his two children, daughter Rachel and son Mitchell.
In a 2015 interview, Moranis expressed his continued interest in acting, stating that he is open to roles that pique his interest. Despite his hiatus from the industry, Moranis has no regrets about his decision to prioritize his family over his career.
However, fans of Moranis will be delighted to know that he is set to make a comeback on the big screen in the upcoming film 'Shrunk,' where he will reprise his iconic role as scientist Wayne Szalinski from the 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' franchise. The film, set to take place decades after the original movie, will also feature actor Josh Gad as Wayne's grown-up son, Nick Szalinski.
Although the production of 'Shrunk' has faced delays due to various reasons, including the impact of COVID-19, fans eagerly anticipate Moranis' return to the silver screen. With his enduring charm and talent, Moranis continues to be a beloved figure in the world of entertainment.
