Robin Wright Says Politics Didn’t Drive Her Move to the U.K.

She credits steady U.K. work enabled by tax breaks for the relocation.

Overview

  • Appearing on The View on Sept. 16, Wright said she has been based in England for almost three years as her recent American productions filmed there for tax incentives.
  • She stressed that U.S. politics was not her primary motive for relocating, though she said she is troubled by the state of the country.
  • Wright described her life in England as “so tranquil” and “liberating,” contrasting it with the pace and noise she associates with the United States.
  • She and her partner, architect Henry Smith, are renting a home on the English seaside and plan to spend extended time on the coast.
  • Her clarification follows earlier remarks to The Sunday Times in which she called America a “s***show,” comments that drew wide attention.
