Rita Wilson is loving her latest career change.
The actress joined comedian Kevin Nealon for his YouTube series “Hiking With Kevin” and chatted about taking up music while putting acting on the backburner.

And while her focus is on making some new tunes, she’ll always love her first career, “No, I’m not losing interest in acting. In a way, [singing has] reinvigorated it because now I feel like I only want to do things that are really interesting and engaging when it comes to acting.”
Next up, Wilson would love something more challenging, “I have played a lot of warm, kind, nurturing, understanding, mothers, sisters, best friends, wives.”
Adding, “I kind of feel like I’ve closed that chapter so now I’m looking for something much more challenging and much more unique or something I haven’t done before.”

Wilson later told a story about the time she was drunk at a wedding when she was only 15 or 16-years-old.
“I went to a wedding, this wasn’t intentional though… I was maybe 15 or 16 and the wedding was a Greek wedding so it took forever. They were passing out at the reception afterwards, glasses of champagne,” she recalled. “Well they came up to me and offered me a glass of champagne and I was so thirsty because it was so hot I drank two of them ‘boom, boom’ really quickly and got so drunk because I had an empty stomach… I had to leave the wedding and go home.”
The “Big Fat Greek Wedding” star’s latest achievement, Halfway To Home, is available now.
