Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election has sparked a wave of outrage in Hollywood, with numerous celebrities publicly announcing their intention to leave the United States. Amid criticism of his policies and fears for the future of the country, these stars are seeking refuge abroad.
Eva Longoria was one of the first to confirm that she will divide her time between Spain and Mexico. "This country is becoming dystopian," she said. America Ferrera, for her part, is already looking for schools in London for her children, planning a permanent move to the UK.
Barbra Streisand had already warned in an interview with Stephen Colbert that she could not live in the United States if Trump returned to power. "I would move. I can't live here under an administration like that," said the iconic singer and actress, adding that she preferred Joe Biden's "compassionate and intelligent" leadership.
Trans activist and actress Laverne Cox shared similar fears, noting that she plans to settle in Europe or the Caribbean, while Cher, who had already considered moving in 2016, said this time she will leave the country for good.
Other figures are joining the list: Sharon Stone is in the process of buying a house in Italy, while Minnie Driver will return to the UK after three decades in Los Angeles. Sophie Turner attributes her recent move to the UK to concerns about gun violence and the loss of rights for women.
Also noteworthy are Raven-Symone, who is considering Canada as a destination with her wife, and Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's trans daughter, who said she does not see a future in a country she considers hostile to her community. These are just a few, but there are expected to be quite a few more.
