Celebrity Finds Moving to England “Liberating” and Speaks Out Against the U.S.

Robin Wright is done pretending everything is fine. After decades in Hollywood, the 59-year-old star has walked away from what she bluntly calls an American “s—show” and slipped into a quiet life by the English sea.

Robin Wright’s new life began not with a script, but with a dog in a pub. Reaching down to feed a stranger’s pet, she was pointed toward its real owner: architect Henry Smith, the 6’2″ man who walked over, grabbed her shoulders, and asked, “Who the f— are you?” Her reply matched his, and in that irreverent spark, something lasting took root.

Now living by the English seaside, Wright has traded California traffic and competition for gray skies, salty air, and a rented home that feels more like freedom than any mansion ever did. She calls America a “s—show” without flinching, relieved to be “done with searching” and with getting only “60 percent” of what she wanted. Nearing 60, she says she has finally met “her person” – a calm, decent man with whom she can grow old, travel, and, at last, simply be seen.
