Robin Wright, known for her roles in \u201cForrest Gump\u201d and \u201cThe Princess Bride,\u201d has moved to the United Kingdom and is saying goodbye to the United States.<\/p>\n
Speaking with The Times, <\/a>the actress\/director said she has been working in the U.K. for several years. <\/p>\n \u201cAmerica is a s\u2014show,\u201d she said, though her remarks mentioned nothing political, or dealing with President Donald Trump, in contrast to other celebrity expatriates. <\/p>\n \u201cI love being in this country,\u201d Wright said of her new home. \u201cThere\u2019s a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They\u2019re living. They\u2019re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That\u2019s most of America. Everything\u2019s rush, competition and speed.\u201d<\/p>\n Wright, 59, who also starred for five years in the celebrated \u201cHouse of Cards,\u201d said the pace of life is not only slower, but less noisy. In America, in her California oceanfront home, she would wake up to the sound of renovations at her neighbors\u2019 houses. <\/p>\n \u201cEveryone\u2019s building a huge house and I\u2019m just done with all that \u2014 I love the quiet,” she said. Across the pond, she wakes up to the sounds of birds singing in the trees. <\/p>\n Wright will soon appear in the thriller \u201cThe Girlfriend\u201d on Prime, and directs a few episodes. She would not say whether she would work again with her former \u201cCards\u201d co-star Kevin Spacey, who was recently found not guilty of sexual assault. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t really think we need to talk about Kevin,\u201d she said. \u201cThat was then.\u201d<\/p>\n Saying she\u2019s \u201cmet her person,\u201d Wright said she is dating British-born, Australian-raised architect Henry Smith, whom she met at a country pub. She also plans to take time off. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s liberating to be done,\u201d she said. \u201cBe done with searching, looking and getting 60% of what you wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
