Succession’s Fisher Stevens Reveals He’s Moving Out of the U.S. for England

Stevens joins a long list of celebrities who have moved out of the United States in recent years, many in response to the current Trump administration and the country’s political climate. Former daytime talk show hosts Ellen Degeneres and Rosie O’Donnell both confirmed they moved across the pond as a direct result of Trump’s 2024 reelection.

“[I’m] in the process of getting my Irish citizenship, as I have Irish grandparents,” O’Donnell, 63, explained via a TikTok video back in January. “And that’s what’s going on, and that’s where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. And although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are.”

DeGeneres, for her part, told English broadcaster Richard Bacon back in July that her and wife Portia de Rossi “got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”

DeGeneres also praised the English countryside and how different it is than life in Hollywood.

“We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture — everything you see is charming and it’s just a simpler way of life,” DeGeneres added. “It’s clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”

Eva Longoria has also moved between the United States and Spain in recent years, though she had denied her relocation was the result of the nation’s politics.

“The vibe was different,” Longoria told Marie Claire in November 2024 when asked what made her want to leave L.A. “And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes — not that I want to s*** on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
