Robin Wright Relocates to England, Calls America a 'S---show'

She says the U.K.'s slower pace plus a sense of "freedom of self" make the move feel liberating.

Overview

  • Wright, 59, says she is renting a home on the English seaside with architect Henry Smith after spending several years working in the U.K.
  • In an interview with The Times, she criticized the U.S. as a "s---show" and contrasted Los Angeles construction noise with waking to birdsong in England.
  • She recounts meeting Smith at a country pub and describes him as "a good, decent adult," while adding she does not intend to marry again.
  • Wright is acting in and directing episodes of Prime Video's The Girlfriend, which is set to premiere with six episodes on Sept. 10.
  • Media coverage situates her relocation within a broader wave of entertainers moving to Europe after President Trump’s reelection, though she did not cite politics as her reason.
