UPDATE: Actor Fisher Stevens, known for his role in HBO’s hit series Succession, has just relocated his family to London for a fresh start. In an exclusive interview with People on October 24, 2023, Stevens, 61, revealed that he moved his family about eight weeks ago to explore life in Europe and pursue new documentary projects.
The decision to leave the U.S. comes at a time when many celebrities are re-evaluating their lives amid the current political landscape. Stevens explained, “We have a 12 and 9-year-old, and my wife and I decided it was time to get out of the U.S. for a minute, see what it’s like in Europe and the U.K.” The family’s move coincides with the ongoing challenges surrounding environmental issues, which Stevens has been passionate about.
Stevens elaborated on his family’s transition, stating, “It’s pretty nice! My wife and I make documentaries, so there are a couple of things we’re working on there, and my wife’s parents live in London too, so that’s been good.” His involvement in the environmental documentary We Are Guardians highlights his commitment to addressing critical issues like deforestation in Brazil, emphasizing the need for action as the climate crisis intensifies.
In a poignant reflection on the state of U.S. politics, Stevens criticized the current administration’s handling of environmental policies, saying, “Knowing that the Trump administration is very heavily funded by fossil fuels… this administration is doing everything it can to not be responsible citizens for the world.” His comments echo a growing sentiment among many Americans seeking change.
Stevens is not alone in his decision to leave the United States. Other notable figures, such as Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell, have also made the move overseas, citing political dissatisfaction as a significant factor. O’Donnell, for instance, stated in a TikTok video earlier this year that she is pursuing her Irish citizenship due to her family’s roots, while DeGeneres expressed her relief at relocating right before the recent election, saying, “We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty.”
These relocations reflect a broader trend among celebrities seeking a different lifestyle and political stability. Eva Longoria has also shared her experiences moving between the U.S. and Spain, although she denied that her decision stemmed from U.S. politics.
As more public figures seek refuge and new opportunities abroad, Stevens’ move serves as a striking example of how the current political climate is reshaping lives. His focus on family, filmmaking, and environmental advocacy underscores the urgency of addressing pressing global issues.
What’s next for Stevens and his family in London remains to be seen, but the actor’s commitment to documentary filmmaking and his desire for a more supportive environment could lead to significant developments in the coming months.
