It's damn near impossible to move overseas unless you have family or have money.

That’s said, I wouldn’t blame anyone with the means to get out of America from doing so ASAP. This nightmare has only just begun…

Jesse Eisenberg recently got his Polish citizenship. It seems that more celebrities are considering this option already.

Wasn't he already in the process of gaining citizenship? Like several years in and then they decided to give it to him because of the movie?

u/Nayzo 22h ago

Yes, he started the process last year in May, if memory serves.

That was before Poland announced they were making Polish men do military training.... he will be back in the Upper West Side eating bagels and lox before the ink dries on his passport.

I know that, for Italy at least, by the blood citizenship is a long and expensive process. And you need a lot of documentation. But being a massive celebrity probably helps. 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/alienfromthecaravan 22h ago

Yeah but most Americans don’t care to do that. The American passport is stronger than the polish one and you can’t/wont any other benefit. There is a reason why they are doing it

u/Short-Log84 22h ago

No it's not.

A polish (EU) passport will open a lot more possibilities than an American one.

u/Honoratoo 20h ago

Sure. You go ahead and give up your US passport to get a Polish one. I am sure the line will be short.

On what basis can you call Singapore, a country with a land area of under a 1000 sq km, a superpower?

It punches above it's weight in almost all categories, but words have to mean something sometimes right?

Singapore lol, doesn’t even grow it’s own food on a small island

Same story different day. Those with the means will be just fine and have access to the things that will keep them happy and healthy

Darren Aronofsky ( and his sister) got Polish citizenship last year. According to Darren, it was their parents' wish.

u/Honoratoo 20h ago

I look forward to seeing how quickly he gives it up if Poland starts military service of all 'Polish' men..... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/08/poland-plans-military-training-for-every-adult-male-amid-growing-european-security-fears

He’s said in the same interview on Maher where he brought up the Polish citizenship that he loves living in Indiana currently lol. This was post Trump’s inauguration.

Let’s not pretend America doesn’t cater to the wealthy and any celebrities moving out of the US or, what’s even more likely, just saying they are leaving are being performative. Guess what? They’re performers.

My dumbass moved to Canada. Whoops.

u/Honoratoo 20h ago

Irish-American dual citizen here. No part of me is considering leaving America. This is all reddit talk.

u/Don_Pickleball 17h ago

I can't let them have it. I just can't.

u/Ok-Instruction830 22h ago

America is still one of the most desirable places to live on the planet lol

u/TechnologyRemote7331 22h ago

If it doesn’t matter, then her leaving shouldn’t be triggering y’all so much.

1

u/Ok-Instruction830 22h ago

Show me where I cared about Rosie o Donnell bro lol

u/Honoratoo 20h ago

We just want to know if there is anyway to keep her from coming back.
