House Of Cards Star Robin Wright Reveals 'S**tshow' Reason She's Leaving The US

Robin Wright at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017Robin Wright might soon join several other celebrities in leaving the United States behind.The House Of Cards star has spent her career in Hollywood, directing, producing and starring in a litany of acclaimed projects, but revealed over the weekend that she’s spent the last few years in the UK — and wants to permanently move to the English countryside.“America is a shitshow,” Robin told The Times in an interview published on Sunday.While the actor didn’t mention US president Donald Trump or the distressing policies marking his second administration, Robin – who has lived in the Chiltern Hills outside London in recent years – pointed to the seeming decline in traditional American life as her reason.“I love being in this country,” she told the British outlet. “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.”Robin argued that the sounds of construction surrounding her seaside Los Angeles home have nothing on the soothing bird chirps of her newfound mornings in the Chilterns, but also noted that she met a new man — and has been dating British architect Henry Smith.“I love the quiet,” she told the Times. “And I’ve met my person. Finally.”Robin is joining numerous stars in an apparent exodus from the United States, including former daytime talk show hosts Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, who respectively moved to the UK and Ireland — after Trump’s reelection in November.Sopranos star Joe Pantoliano and Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria are also either considering a permanent move or making sure they have an alternate home base.Robin met her new partner at a countryside pub after his dog started sniffing around her seat – and quickly fell in love. She described the architect during her interview as a “good, decent adult” and “sweetheart”.Robin Wright said she's finally "seen and loved" for who she is by her new partner.Robin was previously in an “exciting and difficult” 14-year marriage with fellow actor Sean Penn, and while she later walked down the aisle with French fashion executive Clément Giraudet in 2018, the actor cited “irreconcilable differences” in filing for divorce in 2022.“I’m seen and loved for who I am,” Robin told the Times about her new beau. “It’s so relaxing.”The native Texan is currently starring in The Girlfriend, a psychological thriller series for Prime Video. Robin, who directed the first three episodes, said she and her new partner are hoping to take time off soon – to move to the English seaside with their dogs.“It’s liberating to be done,” she told the Times. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:Rosie O’Donnell: ‘I Look At America, And I Feel Overwhelmingly Depressed’Ellen DeGeneres Finally Says Why She Settled In UK After US ElectionBrian Cox Accuses 'Idiot' Donald Trump Of 'Talking B*****ks' Over Scottish Independence
