### **Hollywood Exodus? Angelina Jolie Joins Stars Planning to Leave the US Over Trump Presidency**

 

A growing wave of political discontent is rippling through Hollywood, with some of its biggest names reportedly making plans to leave the United States following the return of Donald Trump to the presidency. In what appears to be a protest against the nation's political direction, A-list celebrities are not just voicing their opposition but are taking concrete steps to establish lives abroad. The latest and most prominent figure to join this list is actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie, signaling that the trend of a "celebrity exodus" is gaining serious momentum.

### **Hollywood Exodus? Angelina Jolie Joins Stars Planning to Leave the US Over Trump Presidency**

• This phenomenon goes beyond the unfulfilled threats that circulated during
•  the 2016 election. Now, stars like Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen DeGeneres, and
•  Rosie O'Donnell have already acted on their promises, either securing foreign
•  citizenship or physically relocating. Their actions highlight a deep cultural
•  and political divide, turning personal life decisions into powerful public
•  statements.

#### **Angelina Jolie: Trading Los Angeles for a Global Future**

 

According to a recent report in *People* magazine, Angelina Jolie is actively considering a permanent move outside the United States. The 50-year-old Oscar winner is reportedly exploring "several overseas destinations" and is preparing to list her historic Los Angeles estate for sale.

 

• For years, Jolie's ability to live abroad has been constrained by a custody
•  agreement with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. However, with their divorce
•  settlement finalized in December 2024 and their youngest children, twins
•  Knox and Viv, set to turn 18 next year

 the path is clearing for her to pursue a long-held desire. A source close to the actress revealed, "She is planning the move as soon as the twins turn 18. She is looking at several overseas destinations and will be thrilled when she can finally leave Los Angeles for good."

 

Jolie purchased her current home, the Cecil B. DeMille estate, in 2017 for nearly $25 million. But her heart has often been elsewhere, particularly in Europe. She and Pitt famously co-owned the sprawling Château Miraval estate in France, which they bought in 2012 for an estimated $60 million and where they were married in 2014.

 Her potential departure is not just a personal choice but a symbolic move from one of Hollywood's most globally recognized figures.

 

#### **The Stars Who Have Already Made the Move**

 

While Jolie is planning her exit, several other high-profile personalities have already relocated in direct response to the political climate.

 

**Jimmy Kimmel: Securing an Italian Escape Route**

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, a relentless and vocal critic of Donald Trump, recently revealed he has successfully obtained Italian citizenship. During a podcast conversation with his ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman, Kimmel confirmed that he followed through on securing a European passport as a direct response to Trump's return to power.

 

"I actually did, yes… I have my Italian citizenship," Kimmel stated. He expressed profound disillusionment with the current state of American politics, adding, "What’s going on… it’s worse than you thought it would be. It’s so much worse. It’s unbelievable. I feel like it’s almost worse than [Trump] would want it to be."

 

**Ellen DeGeneres: A Cotswolds Retreat**

Just three weeks after the November 2024 election, former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the picturesque Cotswolds region in England. Speaking at a live event in Cheltenham, DeGeneres admitted that the election results were the catalyst for their decision to stay in the UK.

 

1. "We got here the day before the election," she explained. "We woke up to a lot
2.  of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He won.' And
3.  we were like, 'We're just going to stay here.'"

 

**Rosie O'Donnell: Finding Sanctuary in Ireland**

Comedian and actress Rosie O'Donnell, a frequent target of Trump's criticisms for years, confirmed in March that she had moved to Ireland. She and her 12-year-old adopted daughter, Dakota, left the US on January 15, just five days before the presidential inauguration.

•  O'Donnell framed her departure as a move for safety and equality. "I miss
•  many things from my life back home," she said. "I'm trying to find a home
•  here in this beautiful country. When it is safe for all citizens to have equal
•  rights in America, only then will we consider coming back."

 

**Courtney Love: Seeking Permanent UK Status**

Musician and actress Courtney Love, who moved to the UK during Trump's first term in 2019, announced earlier this year that she is now seeking full British citizenship. She described the situation in the US as "terrifying right now."

1.  Speaking at the Royal Geographical Society in London, Love condemned
2.  what she sees as a corrupt and decadent political culture. "When you look at
3.  Trump and his circle, it's like they're acting like emperors," she told the
4.  audience. "It’s a kind of poison."

 

#### **A History of Unfulfilled Promises**

The current wave of departures stands in stark contrast to the rhetoric of 2016, when numerous celebrities threatened to leave if Trump won but ultimately remained. Miley Cyrus tearfully declared on Instagram, "I am moving if this is my president!" Whoopi Goldberg suggested on *The View*, "Maybe it's time for me to move." Samuel L.

 Jackson was even more blunt, stating, "If that motherf---er becomes president, I’m moving my black ass to South Africa."

 

While those threats largely faded, the follow-through in 2024 suggests a more permanent sense of disillusionment.

 For these stars, leaving the country is no longer a hypothetical threat but a tangible solution to a political reality they refuse to accept. Whether this is the beginning of a larger cultural brain drain or a symbolic protest by a select few, it undeniably marks a new chapter in the intersection of celebrity, culture, and American politics.
