Mark Hamill, best known for portraying Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" film series, says he considered leaving the country after Donald Trump's win in the 2024 presidential election.
In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, Hamill said that his wife ultimately convinced him to stay in the United States.
Hamill said that after Trump won, he gave his wife a choice of where to move to: Ireland or London.
"She's very clever," Hamill told The Times. "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.' 'That son of a bitch,' I thought. 'I'm not leaving.' "
Hamill added: "I still believe there are more honest, decent people than there are the MAGA crowd," he says. "If I didn't, I'd move back to England."
Hamill made it clear what he thought about the Trump administration.
"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.
"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. 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."
The White House fired back at the actor - and at the same time took a shot at another celebrity who has been a critic of Trump.
"Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he will get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is securing for the American people -- and really, who can blame him for second-guessing a plan to move to the same place as Rosie O'Donnell," a White House spokesperson told Fox News.
