Star Wars Icon Debates Exodus: Mark Hamill's Trump-Era Dilemma
STAR WARS LEGEND MARK HAMILL REVEALS HE CONSIDERED LEAVING THE US AFTER TRUMP'S ELECTION
In a shocking revelation, Star Wars icon Mark Hamill has spilled that he was so fed up with Donald Trump's presidency that he seriously considered leaving the United States. The 73-year-old actor, known for his iconic role as Luke Skywalker, revealed to The Times that he briefly weighed moving overseas, narrowing his options down to two English-speaking countries: England or Ireland.
Hamill's decision was put on hold by none other than his clever wife, Marilou York. When asked about the possibility of leaving the US, Hamill couldn't help but crack a joke, saying, "She didn't respond right away, but a week later she said, 'I'm surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.' That son of a b*tch, I thought. I'm not leaving.'"
It's clear that York had a calming effect on Hamill, and he credits her with changing his perspective. "She's very clever," he gushed about his wife. Despite his frustration with the Trump era, Hamill remains optimistic about the state of the nation. He told The Times, "I still believe there are more honest, decent people than there are MAGA fans." When asked why he hasn't left the US yet, Hamill quipped, "If I did, I'd move back to England."
But that's not all - it seems like Hamill is just as outspoken about politics now as he was during his Star Wars days. He recently abandoned Facebook and Twitter for the social media platform BlueSky, citing the bullying, incompetence, and general chaos of online discourse. "The only way I can deal with it without going crazy is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel," he joked.
Hamill's not the only celebrity who's considered leaving the US in the wake of Trump's election. Sources close to Angelina Jolie claim that she's planning to relocate to a new home - but this time, it won't be in Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning actress has reportedly been eyeing several locations abroad and is eager to leave the city behind.
According to insiders, Jolie will make her move as soon as her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne, turn 18 in July 2026. "She's eyeing several locations abroad," a source revealed to The Scholary Note. "She'll be very happy when she's able to leave Los Angeles." It seems like Jolie is looking for a fresh start - far away from the drama of Tinseltown.
But Jolie isn't the only A-lister who's ditched LA for greener pastures. Rosie O'Donnell, 63, has moved her family to Ireland, citing her need for a change of scenery and a more peaceful life for her child. "It was something I needed to do for myself and for my child, and for my own sanity," she told The Scholary Note.
And it looks like O'Donnell's not alone in her decision. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have made the permanent move to England, citing concerns about efforts to reverse same-sex marriage rights. "Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here," DeGeneres joked on The BBC.
But what's really got everyone talking is the record number of Americans applying for British citizenship in 2025 - over 10% more than last year! It seems like more and more people are considering making a break for it, but with work and financial constraints getting in the way, it's clear that leaving the US isn't as easy as simply packing up and moving abroad.
