Aaron Paul, renowned for his role in Breaking Bad, has decided to bid farewell to Los Angeles, joining a growing list of celebrities seeking new horizons. In a candid conversation with the Daily Mail during The Only at 1850 by American Express party at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 21, Paul, 46, shared the reasons behind this significant life change.
Reflecting on the past events that prompted the move, Paul explained, “When the fires happened in L.A., we just knew that we were done with L.A., so we sold our house and moved to Paris.” This shift marked a new chapter for Paul, his wife, Lauren Paul, and their two young children.
Expressing his enthusiasm for their new home, Paul remarked, “Paris is awesome.” The decision to relocate was largely influenced by the desire to provide a unique experience for their children. “We went out there for the kiddos,” he noted, revealing that both he and Lauren had long cherished the dream of spending a year abroad.
The move to Paris serves as an opportunity for the Paul family to immerse themselves in a different culture, fulfilling a long-held aspiration. “We just always wanted to be around a completely different culture,” Paul shared, capturing the spirit of adventure that fueled their decision to embrace a new lifestyle in the City of Light.
“We just always wanted to be around a completely different culture,” he said.
The newest trend in Hollywood isn’t in Hollywood at all. Some notable names have said goodbye to Los Angeles and moved deep into the heart of Texas in recent years. Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell is the latest celeb to make the leap. After more than a decade in California, Powell decamped for his […]
In January, multiple wildfires broke out in and around the Los Angeles area, destroying over 18,000 structures, burning more than 57,5000 acres and killing upwards of 440 people, including indirect deaths from smoke exposure. The wildfires are believed to have cost anywhere from $28 billion to $53.8 billion.
In July, People reported that Paul put his Los Feliz home on the market, listing the three bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home for $10 million. The home — designed by famed architect Stiles O. Clements and previously owned by Robert Pattinson, Tim Curry, Noah Wyle, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Jim Parsons — sits on 1.5 acres and combines “preserved period detail with refined inferior updates,” according to the listing.
“Aberdeen has been a safe haven for my family and we feel so lucky to have experienced so much life here over the years,” Paul said of his former home in a statement to People at the time. “We will forever hold this home and its history close to our hearts.”

Paul is just the latest Hollywood A-lister to leave the U.S. for a life across the pond. Both Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell have decided to relocate to Europe in the wake of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory.
“I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video detailing her move to Ireland and the reason behind it. “And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”
DeGeneres, for her part, also admitted that politics played a role in her decision to move to the U.K. with her wife, Portia de Rossi.
During a press conference for her new movie, Couture, at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain on September 21, Angelina Jolie was asked to weigh in on how she currently feels about being an artist in America. (The inquiry was a timely one: late-night host Jimmy Kimmel had been temporarily suspended the week prior […]
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” she said while speaking to English broadcaster Richard Bacon back in July. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”
In April, O’Donnell opened up to Us about her surprise over DeGeneres’ reason for relocating overseas.
“I’ve never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “I’ve been a political person my whole life, no better or worse, it’s just a different way to be in the world. I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving, and I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone. We’re not really in each other’s worlds, and it’s been kind of awkward but you know what? I wish her the best. I wish that she has peace and love in her life and that she is OK.”
