Hollywood star-turned-Texas farmer Adrian Grenier would make full-time return to acting — under one condition

1 hour ago 2

Perhaps acting bugs exist on Adrian Grenier’s Texas farm.

The “Entourage” star — who has lived on the 46-acre sustainable Kintsugi Ranch in Bastrop since 2020 — has returned to screens via the new short film “Self Custody,” which was shot in Austin near his home.

And he’s willing to keep the momentum going — so long as Tinseltown keeps coming to him.

“I mean, the truth is, the industry is moving to me,” Grenier, 49, told Page Six in an exclusive interview alongside co-stars Henry Cejudo and Garrett Patten, who also directed the “bitcoin action-thriller.”

“There’s $2.5 billion that the Texas state government just put into film and television projects in Texas,” Grenier noted. “They’re building three movie studios not too far from me. I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t just continue to film in Texas.”

Patten revealed to us that they’re “in talks” about adapting “Self Custody” into a feature film or TV show of some kind.

Grenier is all for it. “It has so much bigger potential,” he marveled. “So I’m really looking forward to continuing to evolve the ‘Self Custody’ brand into a larger project.”

Though the actor — who had been visiting Austin for decades before buying his first property in the city around 2016 — has “a soft spot in [his] heart for California,” the Lone Star State is now his home.

He enjoys life out of the spotlight with his wife, Jordan Roemmele, and their sons: Seiko, almost 3, and Evren, who will turn 1 later this month.

“It’s a party. It’s a total party. I love it. Absolutely love it,” Grenier gushed of having two under 3.

“One thing I gotta say that we all share here on this call — Garrett and Henry — is we’re committed fathers,” he made sure to add. “When we’re not talking shop and talking about business, we’re talking about how much we love our kids.”

Grenier decided to dip his toes back in the acting pool with “Self Custody,” specifically, because he believed in the team and understood the topic.

“I really only take [on] roles that reflect my values or that speak to me in some way,” he explained. “I’m in a position, luckily, where I don’t have to just take whatever I can get. So this was a project that met my standards, I guess, just in terms of quality of filmmaking storyline.”

“And then the character itself really spoke to me,” continued Grenier, who plays a wealthy businessman responsible for giving his once-employee (Patten) a signing bonus in millions of dollars worth of bitcoin.

Patten, meanwhile, plays a struggling father whose desperation to reclaim the lost fortune sends him spiraling into a high-stakes world of encrypted wallets, forgotten passwords and dark web danger.

“You know, as a bitcoin guy, a bitcoin maxi and somebody who believes in crypto as an ideology and a philosophy, it was almost tailor-made for me,” Grenier told us.

“Self Custody” marks his first acting role in four years, though his biggest claims to fame are still the 2006 cult classic movie “The Devil Wears Prada” and the popular HBO series “Entourage,” which ran from 2004 to 2011.

When we asked Grenier about his recent reunion with “Entourage” co-star Jeremy Piven, the former shared that the latter “just moved” to Austin.

As for the potential for an “Entourage” revival, Grenier teased, “We’re ready to work. Until AI comes to drag us off set, we’re ready to work.”
