House of Cards Star Robin Wright Leaves the US, Says ‘America Is a S—show’

Robin Wright recently opened up about why she left the U.S. and moved to the U.K. in an interview. She didn’t touch on the country’s current political scenario, but did criticize the current environment in America. On the contrary, she also shared how her life feels different in the U.K. compared to when she lived in the U.S. Here are the details on what the House of Cards star said about relocating.

Robin Wright on why she moved to the UK

In a new profile with The Times U.K., Wright shared the reasons for her move from the U.S. to the U.K. She said, “America is a s***show.” Revealing the reasons why she prefers the U.K., she added, “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, [or] eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition, and speed.”

She elaborated on how different her life is in the country she now calls home compared to America. Instead of waking up to the noise of neighbors’ home renovations, she wakes up to the sound of chirping birds. “Everyone’s building a huge house, and I’m just done with all that — I love the quiet. And I’ve met my person. Finally,” she explained.

For those unfamiliar, Wright is currently dating architect Henry Smith, and they live in a rented home in the English seaside. In the same interview, she revealed that she met her partner at the bar. Detailing their first encounter, she shared, “He goes, ‘No, it’s not my dog, it’s his dog. And Henry was standing at the bar, 6ft 2in, and he put his pint down, came over to me and grabbed my shoulders. He goes, ‘Who the f— are you?’ And I said, ‘Who the f— are you?’ And that was it.”

Wright is not the first celebrity to move to another nation; many others have also left the country for either personal or political reasons. They are Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Rosie O’Donnell, Courtney Love, and Eva Longoria, among others.
