Star Wars actor Mark Hamill has revealed he planned to leave the United States when Donald Trump was re-elected as president in 2024.
The 73-year-old, known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the iconic sci-fi franchise, gave his wife Marilou Tork – whom he married in 1978 – the choice between relocating to “London or Ireland. Hamill’s wife, who worked as a dental hygienist and met Hamill while cleaning his teeth, ingeniously convinced her husband not to move countries by suggesting Trump was pushing them out of the US.
“She’s very clever. She didn’t respond right away but a week later she said, ‘I’m surprised you would

When you are an actor you have to immerse yourself in a fantasy world and suspend reality. Apparently, most of them can't seem to return to reality.

LOL, anyone who actually cares about this must be as pathetic as this fool and his weirdo wife, except they don't have his money. They won't leave, they will just keep crying for attention. The ONLY place on this earth that this punk could have had the hedonistic, overpaid, life he had, was in the USA. Despite his puny attempts to ruin it, the country will continue to dig it's way out of the rathole created by people like him and that wife.

Meh.
He got cocky.

I’ll just note that Kerschner (director of Empire Strikes Back) noted that Hamil was so stupid that he couldn’t understand basic directives and that they rewrote the entire storyline to get around the fact that Hamil was a moron with no acting ability, but they were stuck with him.
Also why you never saw Hamil in any other significant role and why his minimal part in the last three was largely CGI or effectively a non-speaking part.

“100 young men walk continuously at a pace of four miles an hour – or they’ll be shot to death”.
This is from the depths of a liberal mind. And one that Hamill is willing to support. Liberals are simply violent minded people and they really don’t see it.

Hey Mark,
Move out of the United States. Not tomorrow but today. NOW. You pathetic swine excrement. Now that I think about it, perhaps you could(today) "perform" a swan dive 1,000 feet. Into the ocean. Make sure you hit rock(s).

#7 makes a good point. Hamill gets 2-bit roles in movies or cheesy TV shows - probably from 'woke' directors who feel sorry for him. He has done nothing notable in 40 years.

It’s not too late, Moron! You can still go. You have 3 1/2 years left to get out before JDV takes over. Sooner is much better than later. Rosie can put you up in Ireland or Ellen can do it in England while you look for a place to live.

He asserts that incompetence reigns now but he backed an brain-dead, walking vertical cadaver to the hilt previously. I don't know who's dumber -- Hamil or FJB.

Mark Hamills 15 minutes of fame expired 42 years ago. Half the population has no idea who he is and the other half couldn't care less. He's an old, fat, unattractive washed up actor from the past century. Actor might be a strong term.

Two countries? What about different PLANETS? He could do well on Coruscant but I bet he'd prefer Tatooine. I would simly prefer he would just Shut TFU.

I'll be forever grateful to George Lucas, John Williams, and Mark Hamill for this:
https://youtu.be/41ak2jr55fE?feature=shared
The Empire Strikes Back, the best Star Wars movie by far, works in large part due to Mark Hamill's ability to help the audience suspend its disbelief while acting opposite a puppet.
He went on from Star Wars to give us the second most iconic performance of The Joker (after Heath Ledger) in Batman: The Animated Series and its many related stories.
I don't need actor to agree with me to appreciate their work, and I don't care what Mark Hamill thinks about politics, one way or the other.
(Having said all that, #6 made me laugh out loud and wins this thread.)

So this mentally ill simp and a supposed "actor" -- who only had one good role in his life -- chickened out of leaving and is using his wife as his scapegoat?
Yeah, real manly of you there Marky!!!!

Why aren't you gone yet? London and Ireland aren't looking so good these days, are they? Rosie would probably like the company.

Geez. I knew this guy wasn’t much of an actor - but his IQ must be about six points above plant life.
