Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election has triggered a massive reaction among Hollywood celebrities. Many have declared plans to leave the United States, protesting his policies and leadership style. This wave of celebrity migrations reflects deep concerns about the country’s future direction.
Eva Longoria swiftly announced her plans to split her time between Spain and Mexico, citing the country’s shift towards a “dystopian” state. Similarly, America Ferrera is actively searching for schools in London, intending to relocate her family permanently to the UK.
Barbra Streisand, who previously expressed her discontent in an interview with Stephen Colbert, affirmed her decision to move if Trump assumed power again. She preferred Joe Biden’s “compassionate and intelligent” governance over Trump’s administration. Laverne Cox has also voiced concerns, planning her move to Europe or the Caribbean due to the political climate.
Cher, revisiting her 2016 consideration to move, has now resolved to leave the U.S. permanently. Adding to the list, Sharon Stone is finalizing the purchase of a house in Italy. Minnie Driver plans to return to the UK after thirty years in Los Angeles, driven by concerns over gun violence and women’s rights.
Sophie Turner also attributed her recent move back to the UK to similar issues, highlighting the changing social landscape in the U.S. Raven-Symone is exploring relocation to Canada with her wife, and Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s trans daughter, expressed her inability to envision a future in what she perceives as a hostile environment for her community.
These celebrities, among others, are making significant life changes in response to the political environment, signalling a broader trend of disaffection and concern within the entertainment industry.
