Why Hollywood Won't Cast Jessica Biel Anymore

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Like many other actresses before her, Jessica Biel has recently decided to extend her skill set well beyond the famous Hollywood sign. In 2016, the actress teamed up with a bunch of famous foodies and other LA types to open Au Fudge, a restaurant in West Hollywood designed to please both kids and adults.

"The shabby-chic spot has all the trappings of a typical celeb-magnet WeHo spot — organic and seasonal everything, lots of champagne, fresh fruit-forward cocktails — but this one also has its own kids playhouse," wrote Zagat in its preview. "So, you know, have lunch in the stylish dining room or on the patio, then send off the wee ones to the playroom and 'treehouse,' which is staffed with babysitters (called au pairs)." Hey, we never said Biel was relatable.

Unfortunate for Biel, the business wasn't the grand success that she was surely hoping it would be. After two years, the Au Fudge restaurant closed in July 2018. The star took to Instagram to write, "While this is the end of an era, it's also the beginning of a new chapter for @aufudge. We are so very proud of the happy place we created for families and the community we were a part of. Going forward, Au Fudge will be available for private events and please stay tuned for #AuFudgeCamp news! We have so much love for our Au Fudge family." Au revoir, Au Fudge!
