Hollywood elitism is on full display again — and this time, it’s coming straight from “Luke Skywalker.”
Actor Mark Hamill, best known for his role in Star Wars, admitted he nearly abandoned the United States after President Donald Trump’s election victory. The 73-year-old confessed that he even offered his wife a choice of moving to the United Kingdom or Ireland — but she shot down the idea, reminding him that no president should “force” him to leave his own country.
That reality check kept Hamill stateside.
Hamill has long been a Hollywood liberal voice, openly backing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in their failed campaigns. But despite his bitterness toward Trump, he stayed in the country he once threatened to leave.
The White House couldn’t resist a sharp response. A spokeswoman told Fox News: “Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he’ll get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is delivering for the American people — and really, who can blame him for avoiding life next door to Rosie O’Donnell?”
Hamill hasn’t stopped venting. In a recent rant, he smeared the Trump administration as “bullying” and “incompetent,” even claiming America’s global standing was “crippled.” He went on with bizarre jabs about Canada becoming the “51st state” and Greenland being taken over — comments critics say reveal just how out of touch Hollywood elites have become.
Still, Hamill admitted one thing: he believes there are “more decent Americans” than supporters of Trump’s MAGA movement. If not, he said, he would have gone back to England.
For many conservatives, this episode proves a familiar truth: liberal celebrities love to threaten to leave America, but when it comes time to pack their bags, they always stay.
