Hollywood Stars Reassess Life in Los Angeles

A shift is underway in Hollywood as several high-profile actors, musicians, and filmmakers step away from Los Angeles or scale back their California ties in early 2026. Pop star Pink has moved to New York for new TV projects, Chris Hemsworth keeps his family in Australia, and director Steven Spielberg has established residency in New York after decades in California. Earlier moves by stars like Matthew McConaughey and Sylvester Stallone highlight growing concerns over housing costs, taxes, homelessness, and quality of life, proving you don’t need a Hollywood address to remain in the spotlight.
