Robin Wright, the House of Cards star also known for her role as Jenny in Forrest Gump, recently said she prefers life at her new home overseas and has left the United States.
“America is a s—show,” Wright told The Times of London. Wright, a winner of the coveted Golden Globe award, has been doing work in the U.K. while also spending time with her family in-country.
“I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind,” she added. Elaborating, Wright continued, “They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed.”
Now, actresses are leaving America that I have never heard of or ever seen. Robin Wright from 'House of Cards' is moving to England because of Trump.

Wright, 59, told the Times during the interview that she plans to rent a home on the English seaside with her family and dogs. “It’s liberating to be done,” she explained. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”
Wright is not the only celebrity to voice dissatisfaction with life in the United States. Several high-profile entertainers, including Whoopi Goldberg, Miley Cyrus, Amy Schumer, George Lopez, Sharon Stone, Cher, and Barbra Streisand, said before the 2024 election that they would consider leaving the country if Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Few have followed through. One who did is comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell, who relocated to Ireland.
