Other celebrities, like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia di Rossi, made the decision shortly after Trump was reelected last November. Still others — like Jimmy Kimmel, who [recently became an Italian citizen](https://deadline.com/2025/08/jimmy-kimmel-italian-citizenship-trump-presidency-1236484926/) — have considered departing or even threatened to leave, but have not yet done so. Kimmel has a TV show to host, after all. Scroll through the gallery below to see who’s left and who’s considering it. **RELATED: [Trump Celebrity Supporters: Famous Folks In Favor Of The 47th President](https://deadline.com/gallery/donald-trump-celebrity-endorsements-kid-rock-jon-voight/)** .  Photo : '60 Minutes Australia' ## Rosie O’Donnell – Ireland Rosie O’Donnell, who moved her family to Ireland this year, is a longtime nemesis of Trump’s. He has gone so far as to threaten to [revoke O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship](https://deadline.com/2025/07/trump-rosiedonnell-citizenship-1236455899/), even though he does not have the constitutional power to do so. As a result, the former *View* host decamped, saying in a recent interview that it was [a mental health decision](https://deadline.com/2025/09/rosie-odonnell-trump-return-to-u-s-1236513595/). “My personal mental health comes first, and when he was in last time, I was not doing well.”  Photo : Kelly Sullivan/Getty Images for RH ## Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi – The U.K. Ellen DeGeneres in July confirmed she and her wife, former actress Portia de Rossi, decided to [permanently relocate to the UK](https://deadline.com/2025/07/ellen-degeneres-uk-move-donald-trump-election-1236463098/) following the re-election of president Donald Trump. The former talk show host said she and de Rossi were initially looking to settle in the country part-time, per BBC. “We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,'” she explained. DeGeneres continued of the decision, “It’s clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”  Photo : Amy Sussman/Getty Images ## Sophie Turner – The U.K. *Game of Thrones* actress Sophie Turner announced in October 2024 that she would be returning home to the U.K., not specifically because of Donald Trump, but because she was homesick. The political climate did, however, have something to do with it. “The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned… Everything just kind of piled on,” she said of events in the U.S. “After the Uvalde \[school\] shooting, I knew it was time to get the fuck out of there.”  Photo : Dave Benett/WireImage ## Robin Wright – The U.K. *House of Cards* star Robin Wright was clear about [her view of the U.S.](https://deadline.com/2025/08/robin-wright-u-k-moving-america-1236502726/) in a recent interview with *The Times U.K.* “America is a s—show,” she said, without delving into specifics about politics or president Donald Trump. Wright has recently taken up residence in the rolling hills of the U.K. countryside. Of England, she added: “I love being in this country. 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.”  Photo : Daniel Perez/Getty Images ## Eva Longoria – Spain & Mexico While it seemed to many that politically-active Eva Longoria had left the U.S. because of the election, she recently said that that is not the case. “Will you please let them know I didn’t move out of the United States because of Trump? … I’ve been in Europe for almost three years,” [she explained](https://deadline.com/2024/11/eva-longoria-didnt-leave-us-because-trump-1236178773/) to ‘View’ co-host Ana Navarro on the *Behind the Table* podcast. Longoria noted that work – including her *CNN series Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain* – has taken her out of the country.  Photo : Marc Piasecki/Getty Images ## James Cameron – New Zealand Three-time Oscar winner James Cameron revealed in February that his [New Zealand citizenship is “imminent”](https://deadline.com/2025/02/james-cameron-new-zealand-citizenship-imminent-trump-1236304808/) after President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, noting the move is “something I’ve worked toward, something I’ve had to sacrifice for. “I see a turn away from everything decent,” he told NZ’s Stuff of the U.S. under Trump. “America doesn’t stand for anything if it doesn’t stand for what it has historically stood for. It becomes a hollow idea, and I think they’re hollowing it out as fast as they can for their own benefit.”  Photo : Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images ## Courtney Love – The U.K. While she’s lived in the UK for years, Courtney Love revealed in March that she had applied for citizenship. “I’m really glad I’m here,” she said. “It’s so great to live here. I’m finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen.” She then held forth on the political and cultural climate in the U.S. “In terms of Trump and particularly this group…it’s like emperor-core. Like, \[they’re\] wearing million-dollar watches,” Love observed. “Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It’s frightening now. It’s like cyanide.” ## Must Read Stories Hide Articles - ### [Hello Sunshine President Lauren Neustadter Previews ‘Elle’, ‘Lucky’ & ‘The Nightingale’](https://deadline.com/2026/04/hello-sunshine-film-tv-slate-lauren-neustadter-elle-lucky-1236821878/)  - ### [‘Super Mario’ Jumping Past \$310M; ‘You, Me & Tuscany’ Eyes \$8.3M Start](https://deadline.com/2026/04/box-office-super-mario-galaxy-movie-you-me-tuscany-1236786420/)  - ### [‘Ride Along 3’ In Works With Ice Cube, Kevin Hart, Tim Story & Will Packer In Talks](https://deadline.com/tag/the-dish/)  - ### [Coachella 2026: How To Watch Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G & More](https://deadline.com/2026/04/coachella-2026-how-to-watch-livestreams-1236788018/)  ## Read More About: - [Donald Trump](https://deadline.com/tag/donald-trump/) - [Rosie O'Donnell](https://deadline.com/tag/rosie-odonnell/) ## Subscribe to Deadline Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy.

The American experiment is failing and we want better for our kids and their kids. That said we do miss Target…. [Reply Reply to Ben](https://deadline.com/gallery/celebrities-who-left-u-s-trump/?replytocom=4527792#comment-list-wrapper#respond) - Get Out. on September 9, 2025 6:15 pm Fortunately, I got out of America after the first Trump term. You don’t have to be rich or a celebrity to do it (though I’m sure it would help); you have to have taken care of your money when times were good and you have to want to. Once I made the commitment, the only choice was where to move and I found plenty to better places to live. For me it was down to Spain, Portugal, Uruguay or New Zealand, you might have a different list. Many of these places welcome people with transferable skills. All of them (any many more) are better places to live than America in numerous ways. The age of American exceptionalism is over. America is creating plenty of wealth for Trump, but not for anyone else. With the increased deficit will come inflation. Get out while you can, it isn’t changing thanks to all of the gerrymandering and other illegal shenanigans.

The former talk show host said she and de Rossi were initially looking to settle in the country part-time, per BBC. “We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,'” she explained. DeGeneres continued of the decision, “It’s clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.” Photo : Amy Sussman/Getty Images ## Sophie Turner – The U.K. *Game of Thrones* actress Sophie Turner announced in October 2024 that she would be returning home to the U.K., not specifically because of Donald Trump, but because she was homesick. The political climate did, however, have something to do with it. “The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned… Everything just kind of piled on,” she said of events in the U.S. “After the Uvalde \[school\] shooting, I knew it was time to get the fuck out of there.” Photo : Dave Benett/WireImage ## Robin Wright – The U.K. *House of Cards* star Robin Wright was clear about [her view of the U.S.](https://deadline.com/2025/08/robin-wright-u-k-moving-america-1236502726/) in a recent interview with *The Times U.K.* “America is a s—show,” she said, without delving into specifics about politics or president Donald Trump. Wright has recently taken up residence in the rolling hills of the U.K. countryside. Of England, she added: “I love being in this country. 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.” Photo : Daniel Perez/Getty Images ## Eva Longoria – Spain & Mexico While it seemed to many that politically-active Eva Longoria had left the U.S. because of the election, she recently said that that is not the case. “Will you please let them know I didn’t move out of the United States because of Trump? … I’ve been in Europe for almost three years,” [she explained](https://deadline.com/2024/11/eva-longoria-didnt-leave-us-because-trump-1236178773/) to ‘View’ co-host Ana Navarro on the *Behind the Table* podcast.

It becomes a hollow idea, and I think they’re hollowing it out as fast as they can for their own benefit.” Photo : Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images ## Courtney Love – The U.K. While she’s lived in the UK for years, Courtney Love revealed in March that she had applied for citizenship. “I’m really glad I’m here,” she said. “It’s so great to live here. I’m finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen.” She then held forth on the political and cultural climate in the U.S. “In terms of Trump and particularly this group…it’s like emperor-core. Like, \[they’re\] wearing million-dollar watches,” Love observed. “Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It’s frightening now. It’s like cyanide.” ## Subscribe to Deadline Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy. [Sign Up](https://cloud.email.deadline.com/signup) ## Newswire ## Site
