Hollywood Reacts: Celebrities Discuss Leaving the U.S. After Trump’s Election Win
Eva Longoria has been particularly outspoken, calling the U.S. a "dystopian country." She already divides her time among the U.S., Spain, and Mexico, and noted that the election results have made her want to stay out of the country even more. She pointed to social and political changes as reasons for her feelings.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about moving away during his show, saying he couldn't handle another four years of Trump.
His sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez added in a humorous way that he'd think about going back to Mexico. These light-hearted comments reflect a real concern among many in Hollywood.
This isn't the first time celebrities have talked about leaving. In earlier elections, Miley Cyrus, Cher, and Barbra Streisand all said they might leave if Trump won.
Although they didn't act on those statements then, their comments have come back to life again after his recent victory.Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, has reaffirmed his plan to give up his U.S. citizenship, citing his frustration with the current political situation as unbearable.
Hollywood's view of Trump has been split for years, and this election has only widened that gap. Though some comments are made just for laughs, they show a deeper sense of dissatisfaction among many in the public eye.
It remains unclear if any of these celebrities will actually follow through on their comments. For now, their words highlight the growing tension and division in American society.
