Mark Hamill revealed he nearly moved to England or Ireland after Donald Trump won the presidency, and he copes with reality by imagining current events as a thrilling political novel.

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.

Mark Hamill may be known worldwide as Luke Skywalker, but when he first read the script for “Star Wars,” he didn’t think he was about to star in one of the most famous movies ever made. Instead, he thought the whole thing was a joke.
