Robin Wright Abandons the U.S. for the U.K.

In a bold move echoing the sentiments of many disillusioned celebrities, Robin Wright, famed for her role in 'House of Cards,' has left the United States, branding it a "s**tshow." The 59-year-old actress is the latest in a growing exodus of stars seeking refuge in Britain and Ireland, as American politics spirals into chaos.

Finding Solace in the English Countryside

Wright has made the picturesque Chilterns her temporary home, renting Airbnbs in this scenic area northwest of London, which has become a favorite among showbiz legends like Ricky Gervais and Ozzy Osbourne. Expressing her joy, she stated, "I love being here. There's a freedom of self. People are living life, not stuck in traffic, frantically on their phones while munching a sandwich like most Americans."

Love and Life After Heartbreak

Escaping the hustle of L.A., where she still owns a home, Wright has also found comfort in British architect Henry Smith, her new love she met in a local pub. After navigating three divorces, Wright feels she's discovered the right partner.

A Star-Studded Departure from America

Wright isn't alone; she joins a host of notable figures leaving the U.S. due to political turmoil. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, made their exit in November 2024, just after Donald Trump’s election victory. DeGeneres has expressed her preference for life in the U.K., where she feels people can truly be themselves.

Reflections From Other Celebrities

Other high-profile figures, like comedian Rosie O'Donnell, have also sought solace abroad. O'Donnell has relocated to Ireland and is even pursuing citizenship. She has voiced her heartbreak over the current political climate in America, emphasizing that she’ll only consider returning once equality is achieved for all citizens.

Sophie Turner, known for her role in 'Game of Thrones,' also made the leap back to the U.K. after experiencing homesickness during her marriage to musician Joe Jonas.

The Flow of Talent Leaving the U.S.

As these stars navigate their personal journeys in the aftermath of political events, the question arises: how many more will follow in their footsteps? With various notable names claiming safety and freedom overseas, it's clear that the cultural landscape may be shifting.
