Robin Wright Says Leaving the U.S. for England Has Been 'Liberating': 'America Is a ----show'
People Magazine ^ | August 31, 2025 | Charlotte Phillipp

Robin Wright has a new country to call home — and she isn't regretting her decision to move in the slightest.

In a new interview with U.K. publication The Sunday Times, published on Sunday, Aug. 31, the actress, 59, shared that she and her boyfriend, architect Henry Smith, are renting a home on the English seaside.

"It’s liberating to be done," Wright told the outlet. "Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted."

The House of Cards alum, who was born in Texas and raised in California, was candid about wanting to get out of the U.S., telling the newspaper: "America is a ----show."

"I love being in this country," she added of England. "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."

According to the Forrest Gump star, her decision to move was partially influenced by the noise of Los Angeles.

"Everyone's building a huge house, and I'm just done with all that — I love the quiet. And I've met my person. Finally," she added, referring to 52-year-old Smith.

Wright recalled meeting her now-boyfriend — and joked that they had some choice words for each other the first time they crossed paths.

According to the model, she was sitting in a pub at the time, and asked a man if she could feed his dog when the man directed his attention to her now-boyfriend.

"He goes, 'No, it’s not my dog, it’s his dog,' " she recalled of their first meeting.

And wait until they arrest her for a social media post.

No freedom of speech there.

Whoever that is, she’s just in time for perhaps the biggest civil unrest in England in centuries.

Bad timing.

In the U.S., too many Sicilians with knives held her hostage.

Well, she willingly married Sean Penn after Madonna was done with him. What does that say about her judgement.

Whoever you are please stay there. You will learn to enjoy the
“call to prayer” five times a day every day. Oh and if you have a dog potty train him because your new neighbors don’t like dogs and will kill your furry friend.

A fair question. I had to look her up. She married and bread with Sean Penn, so her judgment is in serious doubt

She married Sean Penn, iirc, so you know she’s a radical wacko. Became President in House of Cards opposite Kevin Spacey.

As for jolly ol’ England....it’s not what it used to be. I can imagine a remote country village/residence is nice but 1) free speech is gone and 2) disaster is not far behind, unless Nigel Farage can get a handle on immigration.

1. Assuming Nigel Farage can elected in four years from now.

2. Nigel Farage is "tough" enough to close the borders.

No doubt some huge protected property and house with a big tall fence far far away from any big Muslim enclave.
