Actress Moving From U.S. to U.K., Says in America ‘Everything’s Rush, Competition and Speed’
Robin Wright and Henry Smith relocated to the UK seeking a slower, quieter life; Wright describes it as liberating and enjoys the peaceful countryside away from the US's fast pace.
- On Saturday, August 30 Robin Wright, 59, told The Times she and Henry Smith, 52, are renting a home on the English seaside.
- Wright said England's slower pace attracted her as it offers more peace and ‘freedom of self’, contrasting with Los Angeles’ noise and competitive culture.
- She met British-born Australian architect Henry Smith years ago in a pub, and they have been together since 2024; Wright said she will not remarry after three previous marriages, calling it unnecessary.
- Wright plans to step back from work and relocate to the seaside, noting she will continue projects like The Girlfriend, which premieres Sept. 10, and feels settled and loved by Smith.
- Wright's move joins a wave of U.S. stars relocating to the U.K., including Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell earlier this year, while Mark Hamill considered leaving but stayed.
