‘Star Wars’ star Mark Hamill says he’s ashamed that America voted for Trump twice

Actor Mark Hamill, known for his role in “Star Wars,” expressed on Monday his deep disappointment that Americans re-elected President Donald Trump, stating this new term is “our responsibility.”

Speaking on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast, Hamill mentioned, “It’s one thing for him to have slipped through the first time — but his re-election is on us.” He further expressed his dismay, saying, “I’m really ashamed because I always believed there were more decent and honest Americans than not.”

Hamill shared that Trump’s re-election challenged his belief in the majority of Americans being decent and honest, and he now feels like he’s “in the minority” within his own nation.

As noted by The Wrap, this was not the first time Hamill expressed frustration over Trump’s second election victory and what it reflected about the nation.

On Nov. 6, 2024, as Trump’s victory became apparent, Hamill posted on X, “They say we get the leaders we deserve. Either that has just been disproven, or this is not the America we all thought we were living in.”

More recently, the “Star Wars” actor revealed to The Times of London last month that he considered leaving the U.S. following Trump’s re-election.

During the interview, Hamill was candid about the struggles he endured after Trump won the election. He was an outspoken supporter of then-President Joe Biden and later backed former Vice President Kamala Harris during her 2024 bid when Biden was forced to drop his re-election campaign.

“I still believe there are more honest, decent people than there are the MAGA crowd,” Hamill said. “If I didn’t, I’d move back to England.”

The actor noted he considered moving elsewhere in the English-speaking world, as other famous liberal actors have done.

The Times noted that “when Trump was re-elected, [Hamill] gave his wife a choice: London or Ireland.”

“She’s very clever,” Hamill said, recalling the conversation. “She didn’t respond right away, but a week later she said, ‘I’m surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country.’ That son of a b—-, I thought. I’m not leaving.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Hamill considering leaving the U.S., and a spokeswoman blasted the actor.

“Since Mark has decided to stay in the United States, he will get to enjoy the many wins President Trump is securing for the American people — and really, who can blame him for second-guessing a plan to move to the same place as Rosie O’Donnell,” a White House spokeswoman said.
