Robin Wright details 'liberating' move to England after leaving the U.S.: 'America is a s---show'

Wright attends the 'Damsel' photo call at The Plaza Hotel in 2024
Robin Wright has joined the growing list of celebrities who have left America and aren't looking back.

The House of Cards actress, 59, opened up about her big move in a recent interview with the U.K.'s Sunday Times, sharing that she and architect boyfriend Henry Smith, 52, are happily renting a home on the English seaside.

"It’s liberating to be done," she told the outlet with a grin. "Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 per cent of what you wanted."

The Texas-born and California-raised star didn't mince words when it came to her reason for departing her home country: "America is a s---show," she said simply. "I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here."

sometimes we went camping. There were always people who would trash the campground. There were others who, while they didn’t trash the campground, didn’t stick around and help clean up either. We were always taught to pick up the trash whether it was ours or not.
