Eva Longoria is putting America in her rearview mirror, at least for now. In an interview with Marie Claire, the actress revealed that she splits most of her time between Spain and Mexico when she isn’t working in Hollywood.
While that has been going on for years, she says the country is “a scary place” and after Donald Trump won the presidency, “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”
The Desperate Housewives star spent much of the summer campaigning for Kamala Harris and even rallied volunteers with Tim Walz, helping organize women and Latinos to fight the good fight, and she “would like to think our fight continues.” But even so, it’s not like leaving the country was easy for her. “I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria said.
“But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to shit on California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
Sharon Stone, Cher And Other Hollywood Stars Consider Leaving US. Here’s Why
After Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the US elections, several high-profile Hollywood celebrities have expressed their intentions to leave the US.
After Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Kamala Harris in the US elections, several high-profile Hollywood celebrities have expressed their intentions to leave the United States. The Republican nominee secured the presidency with a decisive 295 Electoral College votes to Harris’ 226. Here are the celebrities considering a move away from the United States in response to the election outcome.
America Ferrera
Actress America Ferrera is reportedly considering a move to the UK with her family in response to Trump’s victory. The 40-year-old star, known for her role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, wants a more promising future for her two young children, as per the NY Post. According to an insider, Ferrera is devastated that Harris lost.
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone, too, is considering moving to Italy. In July, the Basic Instinct actress spoke about leaving the US, saying she was considering a house in Italy. She said, “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,” as per the NY Post.
Cher
Singer and actress Cher, a vocal critic of Trump, stated that the former president’s leadership had a severe impact on her health. In a 2023 interview with The Guardian, when asked about the possibility of Trump returning to power, she said, “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave (the country).”
Raven-Symone
During Trump’s first run for the presidency in 2016, actress Raven-Symone vowed to leave the US if a Republican candidate took office, a sentiment she expressed on The View. Her plans for the future remain unclear in light of the recent election results.
Minnie Driver
One celebrity who has already left the US is British actress Minnie Driver. The 54-year-old shared with The Times in July that she recently moved back to the UK after nearly three decades in Los Angeles. Reflecting on the possibility of Trump returning to office, she mentioned she’d find it difficult to consider moving back to America, adding, “If I lived in a red [Republican] state, no, I couldn’t (return). But living in California, you are somewhat insulated.”
