Mark Hamill Wanted to Leave the U.S. Then His Wife Called Him Out for Being ‘Forced Out’ by Donald Trump: ‘That Son of a Bitch. I’m Not Leaving’

Mark Hamill revealed in a recent interview with The Times of London that he told his wife to choose between moving to London or Ireland after Donald Trump was re-elected U.S. president in November 2024. Several celebrities, from Rosie O’Donnell to Ellen DeGeneres, have left America because of Trump. Hamill wanted to follow suit. He’s always been an outspoken critic of Turmp, be it mocking the president as the Joker or making anti-Trump videos for political organizations. But would Hamill actually leave the U.S.?

After giving his wife the choice between London or Ireland, she gave an answer that forced Hamill to stay put. As the “Star Wars” icon explained: “She’s very clever. 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 bitch, I thought.
