Hollywood Star Robin Wright to Leave America Behind
In a surprising revelation, Robin Wright, the iconic star of "House of Cards," has announced her intentions to leave the hustle and bustle of the United States for the serene countryside of England.
Wright, who has had a stellar career in Hollywood, expressed her frustrations with American life in a candid interview with The Sunday Times. "America is a shitshow," she declared, highlighting her growing disillusionment with the frenetic pace of life back home.
Finding Peace in England
For the past few years, Wright has been residing in the picturesque Chiltern Hills, a charming area just outside London. She revels in the contrast between her tranquil English mornings and the chaotic environment of her Los Angeles home. "There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind... Everything’s rush, competition, and speed in America," she noted.
Wright’s recent romance with British architect Henry Smith has further solidified her desire to make England her permanent home. Their chance encounter at a pub, sparked by a curious dog, blossomed into a loving relationship. "I love the quiet. And I’ve met my person. Finally," she expressed warmly.
A Growing Celebrity Exodus
Wright isn’t alone in her aspirations to leave the U.S. Following the political upheaval during Trump’s presidency, numerous stars, including Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, have sought refuge abroad. The likes of Joe Pantoliano and Eva Longoria are contemplating major moves as well.
A New Chapter for Wright
After her previous marriage to actor Sean Penn and a brief union with French fashion executive Clément Giraudet, Wright feels she's now in a place where she can truly thrive. She told The Times, "I’m seen and loved for who I am. It’s so relaxing."
