Mark Hamill disclosed to Variety that he presented his wife with a stark choice following President Trump’s electoral victory in November 2024.
The Star Wars actor informed Marilou York that she needed to choose between two European nations if they were to leave the United States entirely.
Hamill’s ultimatum restricted York’s options to either the United Kingdom or Ireland as potential new homes for the family during Trump’s presidency.
The Luke Skywalker portrayer made this dramatic proposal as his immediate response to Trump’s return to the presidency after defeating Kamala Harris.
York took a full week to carefully formulate her response to the international relocation ultimatum that would have uprooted their entire lives.
When York finally spoke, her words completely altered Hamill’s perspective on leaving America and abandoning their established life.
“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,’” Hamill recounted during his detailed Variety interview.
York’s calculated response struck a profound nerve.
“That son of a b*tch, I thought. I’m not leaving,” Hamill admitted candidly, revealing how his wife’s patriotic logic convinced him to remain in America.
The actor’s ultimate decision to stay in the United States did not diminish his increasingly vocal opposition to the current Trump administration.
Hamill explained his complex psychological coping strategies for dealing with Trump’s presidency and its accompanying controversial policies.
“The bullying, the incompetence, the people in place…The only way I can deal with it without going crazy and wanting to open my veins in a warm tub is to look at it like a thick, sprawling political novel,” Hamill stated during the interview.
The veteran actor described finding some dark entertainment value in current political developments while simultaneously expressing deep concerns about America’s deteriorating global standing.
“It’s entertaining in a way because this could actually be the end. Our status in the world has been crippled, and that will reverberate for decades,” Hamill commented with apparent resignation.
He referenced specific controversial policy proposals in his extensive critique of the administration’s aggressive international direction.
“Making Canada a 51st state? Do you know how offensive that is? And then taking over Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico. The distractions are hilarious,” Hamill observed with bitter irony.
Several other prominent Hollywood figures have already executed international relocation plans similar to what Hamill initially considered before his wife’s intervention.
Comedian and television host Rosie O’Donnell successfully relocated to Ireland following Trump’s decisive reelection victory over Harris.
Television personality Ellen DeGeneres permanently moved to the United Kingdom with her longtime spouse Portia de Rossi after the November election results became official.
O’Donnell has established a firm and unwavering position regarding any potential return to American soil during Trump’s presidency.
She previously informed Variety that serious safety concerns prevent her from considering a return to the United States under current political circumstances.
“With the current political climate,” O’Donnell explained in detail, “When would it be safe to come back with my child? I’m not going to push it before this administration is completely finished, and hopefully held accountable for their crimes.”
O’Donnell’s public disagreements with Trump date back to the contentious 2016 election cycle, establishing a long-standing pattern of heated conflict between the two public figures.
The comedian’s departure represents part of a broader Hollywood exodus that has seen multiple celebrities relocating to other countries following Trump’s victory.
