Actor Mark Hamill said he seriously considered relocating to Europe after Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election, but ultimately remained in the United States after his wife, Marilou York, persuaded him to stay, according to an interview published by The Times. Hamill told the newspaper he gave York an ultimatum—choosing between England and Ireland—before she asked why he would let politics force him out of his own country. The exchange prompted him to abandon the idea, he said. A frequent critic of Trump, the “Star Wars” actor argued that the United States’ global standing has been “crippled” during the second Trump term and warned that the political climate “could actually be the end” of the nation’s pre-eminence.
