As for the real-life role Robin&#8217;s been playing for the past few years, it&#8217;s an American living in England.<\/p>\n<p>      In an Aug. 30 profile with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/life-style\/celebrity\/article\/robin-wright-parenting-with-sean-penn-moving-to-england-and-my-new-man-gztccccv0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the Times UK<\/a>, Robin reflected on the differences between living in America and England, and she came to a rather daunting conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;America is a shit show,&#8221; she said. According to the publication, Robin has been working and living in the Chilterns. &#8220;I love being in this country. There&#8217;s a freedom of self here. People are so kind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;They&#8217;re living. They&#8217;re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That&#8217;s most of America. Everything&#8217;s rush, competition and speed,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>      There&#8217;s a quiet peace she&#8217;s found in this part of the UK versus the busy streets of Hollywood, where she&#8217;s burdened by the sound of neighbors constantly renovating their homes. &#8220;Everyone&#8217;s building a huge house and I&#8217;m just done with all that \u2014 I love the quiet. And I&#8217;ve met my person. Finally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      There&#8217;s a give and take to her relocation, as Robin&#8217;s realized during her time in the UK, there&#8217;s an &#8220;obsession with class,&#8221; as editor Laura Pullman writes.<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;It&#8217;s very evident when you&#8217;re in a room and you feel the judgment or the praise of someone who&#8217;s more elevated,&#8221; Robin said. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to figure it out. Why are you guys so obsessed with who went to this boarding school or this university? Who gives a shit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      While in the UK, Robin&#8217;s been working on The Girlfriend, a new Prime Video drama, so it&#8217;s not apparently linked to any belief toward the current political state of America \u2014 yet, her words still hit like a ton of bricks for those of us still navigating these loud, Hollywood streets. She said, &#8220;America is a shit show,&#8221; and I heard her loud and clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robin Wright On Living In The US Versus The UK You may know the 59-year-old actor from her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,2553,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-112305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-timely","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
