Jerry Seinfeld<\/strong> isn\u2019t much fun to hang out with these days.<\/p>\n Sources tell Globe<\/em> that the former Seinfeld<\/em> star, 71, is constantly grumbling and complaining, and it\u2019s caused him to go from \u201cthe life and soul of the party to a tuned-out, grumpy old man.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJerry has turned his annoyances into a gold mine via his comedy performances and TV show, but the complaining that used to be his secret weapon now just gets on people\u2019s nerves,\u201d a source explains. \u201cRemember, this is one of the most successful people in the history of show business, both financially and artistically. But he\u2019s almost allergic to counting his own blessings, and that\u2019s not a good look for a man at retirement age with more money than he could spend in ten lifetimes.\u201d<\/p>\n The source adds that it \u201call comes down to\u201d his wife of 25 years, Jessica<\/strong>, because she\u2019s one of the only people \u201cwho isn\u2019t a fellow comedian who can give Jerry a reality check\u201d and remind him to leave his grievances on stage.<\/p>\n \u201cThe whole reason she and Jerry have managed to last for so long is her sunny, never-say-die personality, and it would be a shame if this marriage slowly faded into Grumpy Old Man territory where she just has to patiently listen to his grievances day in and day out,\u201d the source continues. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t wish that on anybody. The thing that will snap Jerry out of his rut would be a fun, new project or challenge that he can really sink his teeth into, like the way his old friend Larry David<\/strong> is launching a new TV show with Barack Obama<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the source says that the problem is the Bee Movie<\/em> star isn\u2019t really on the hunt for new projects similar to what David, 78, is doing right now.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as he\u2019s concerned, he\u2019s done it all and people still don\u2019t appreciate him enough!\u201d the source says, before adding that there are some things that have been bringing the former sitcom star down lately, including the reception of his 2024 film Unfrosted<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfrosted<\/em> was terribly received and was a struggle to even get made because of the strikes,\u201d the source explains. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019d like to end his career on a high note but nothing much is in the works right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfrosted<\/em> is loosely based on the story of Pop-Tarts and follows a rivalry in the early 1960s between breakfast-food giants Kellogg\u2019s and Post as they race to invent a revolutionary toaster pastry. Even with Seinfeld at the directing helm and comedians like Melissa McCarthy<\/strong> and more making up the cast, it failed to impress many people and received poor reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source globemagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Image Press Agency Jerry Seinfeld isn\u2019t much fun to hang out with these days.
