I don\u2019t want to be away from home and away from my family anymore, and over the past few years, I\u2019ve lost my passion for it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his career, the actor expressed gratitude for the opportunities and achievements that came his way during his time in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fortunate that I\u2019ve had an amazing career. The past 12 years have been filled with phenomenal success and surprises, achieving things I never thought would be possible. It\u2019s time to move on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Although he is stepping away from acting in long-form productions, Greeff clarified that he is not completely leaving the entertainment space.<\/p>\n<p>He plans to continue appearing in commercials and will also pursue opportunities as a presenter.<\/p>\n<p>He also acknowledged the current challenges facing the television and film industry, suggesting that the difficult climate contributed to his decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the worst time ever to be in the TV and film industry. It\u2019s tough to see everything that\u2019s been going on, which nudged me towards moving on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Greeff hinted that he will soon reveal a new venture linked to an earlier career dream.<\/p>\n<p>Known for his curiosity and love for new challenges, he said the transition offers an opportunity to explore different interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve known me for some time, then you know I like challenges; I like learning new things. I like to know more about life, and this has given me an opportunity to know more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Blood #Water #star #Arno #Greeff #announces #exit #film #acting #years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Arno Greeff quits acting South African actor Arno Greeff has revealed that he is stepping away from long-form television&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52533"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52535,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52533\/revisions\/52535"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
