Actress Robin Wright, known for her role in Netflix’s House of Cards, says she feels better than ever after relocating from the United States to England. In a recent interview with The Times published on August 31, Wright opened up about how the move has brought her a sense of peace and freedom she had been searching for.
A New Sense of Freedom Away from America’s Rush
Wright described the experience as liberating, expressing relief at being
“done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted.”
She contrasted her new life in England with what she perceives as the hectic lifestyle in the US.
“I love being in this country. 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,”
she told The Times.
Finding Calm and Contentment Outside Los Angeles
One of the main attractions to England for Wright is the quieter and calmer atmosphere compared to Los Angeles. She shared her disinterest in chasing material things, explaining that she is no longer drawn to the hectic lifestyle focused on constant growth and accumulation.
“Everyone’s building a huge house, and I’m just done with all that — I love the quiet,”
Wright said, emphasizing the peace she’s found away from Hollywood’s relentless pace.
Significance of the Move for Wright’s Well-Being
Robin Wright’s move highlights a growing trend among some celebrities seeking slower, more balanced lives outside the US. For Wright, England has offered not only physical distance but also an emotional and mental reset, allowing her to embrace a lifestyle that values kindness, presence, and tranquility.
