With Donald Trump’s decisive win over Kamala Harris, taking 295 Electoral College votes to Harris’s 226, some high-profile Hollywood celebrities are voicing plans to leave the U.S. Here’s a look at the stars contemplating a move abroad in response to the election outcome.
America Ferrera
Actress America Ferrera is reportedly thinking about relocating to the UK with her family following Trump’s victory. Known for her role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the 40-year-old star is seeking what she sees as a brighter future for her two young children. According to the NY Post, an insider revealed that Ferrera is heartbroken over Harris’s loss.
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone, too, has Italy in her sights. In July, the Basic Instinct actress hinted at the possibility of moving, sharing that she had been eyeing property in Italy. As per the NY Post, she expressed her concerns about the election, saying, “This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”
Cher
Cher, a long-time vocal critic of Trump, has said that his leadership impacted her health in a major way. In a 2023 interview with The Guardian, she shared that Trump’s previous term nearly gave her an ulcer. When asked about his return to power, she didn’t mince words: “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave (the country).”
Sophie Turner
British actress Sophie Turner, best known for her role in Game of Thrones, has been upfront about her reaction to Trump’s return. When asked, she was blunt, saying she would “get the f–k out” and move back to the UK if Trump regained the presidency.
Raven-Symoné
During Trump’s first presidential run in 2016, actress Raven-Symoné vowed to leave the U.S. if a Republican took office, a promise she made on The View. While her future plans remain unclear following Trump’s win, her sentiments about the political shift appear unchanged.
Minnie Driver
British actress Minnie Driver has already made her move. After nearly 30 years in Los Angeles, the 54-year-old recently returned to the UK, revealing in The Times that she finds it hard to consider moving back to the U.S. in light of the political climate. “If I lived in a red [Republican] state, no, I couldn’t (return),” she said, noting that living in California provided some insulation from the political divide.
As these celebrities weigh their futures abroad, the 2024 election continues to make waves beyond just politics, resonating deeply within Hollywood.
