Robin Wright, who shifted to the UK a few years back, shed more light on her decision to move across the Atlantic. She said:

"America is a s*it show. I love being in this country. There's a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They're living. They're not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That's most of America. Everything's rush, competition and speed."

Wright, whose new Amazon series "The Girlfriend" premieres later this week on September 10, added one thing that she does not like about the UK is the fact that social classes are still prevalent. She said:

"It’s very evident when you’re in a room and you feel the judgment or the praise of someone who’s more elevated. I’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 s*it?”

Robin Wright later moved in with Henry Smith, calling the decision to live by the English seaside "liberating." She said:

"It's liberating to be done. Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted. That's exactly what I wanted. I'm turning 60 and I'm, like, 'Is this it?' I love being alone and I've done that many times. But I'm, like, I want to grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world."

She added:

In the same interview, Robin Wright also revealed that she and Smith bonded over their shared COVID-related sickness during their early dating period.
