My Take
What strikes me about Jason Orange is the rarity of his choice. As a member of Take That from 1990 through their 2005 reunion, he was inside one of Britain's biggest pop machines, and then in 2014 he simply walked away from the whole thing. Plenty of stars talk about stepping back; far fewer actually retire and stay retired. I find that quiet refusal to milk the nostalgia circuit oddly admirable. He started out in Manchester, reportedly studied at Trafford College, and seems content to live an ordinary life. There's something to respect in someone who knows when enough fame is enough.
