House of Cards star Robin Wright has fled the U.S., slamming it as a
“s--tshow,” the latest star in a steady flow of high-profile names
moving to Britain and Ireland to escape American politics. 

The 59-year-old has been primarily based in the U.K., renting a series
of Airbnbs around the Chilterns, a coveted area of picturesque hills to
the northwest of London, loved by showbiz icons like Ricky Gervais and
the late Ozzy Osbourne. 

In a new interview with The Times, the Forest Gump star, who won a
Golden Globe for her work in House of Cards, said she was happy to be
safely across the pond because “America is a s--tshow.” 

She explained, “I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self
here. People are so kind. 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.” 

Wright, who has been spending weekends in rented homes in the affluent
region with her stepsister, told the Times that she enjoys escaping life
in L.A., where she owns a house, and has—after three divorces—found her
“person,” British architect Henry Smith, whom she met in a British pub. 

The Hollywood star joins a growing list of high-profile names fleeing
the U.S. amid turbulent times. Chief among them is Ellen DeGeneres and
her wife Portia de Rossi, who moved to the U.K. in November 2024 in the
immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory. 

The veteran TV host and comedian reportedly decided to stay out of the
U.S. the day after the election results came in. In July, she told a
crowd in the similarly idyllic and aspirational town of Cheltenham that
the U.K. “is just better,” and that the U.S. can be “scary for people to
be who they are,” per the BBC. 

The Ellen Show host and voice of Finding Nemo’s Dory said she and de
Rossi plan to stay in the U.K., having bought a house in the Cotswolds.
Wright is in the Chilterns. Both are recognized rural beauty spots. 

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts
from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’”
DeGeneres, 67, told the BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’” 

The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment on the flow of
celebrities leaving the country for political reasons. Steven Cheung
replied with a waving hand emoji. 

Other high-profile names include comedian and talk show host Rosie
O’Donnell, who has moved to Ireland and is reportedly in the process of
obtaining citizenship. 

GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE!!!!
