According to Hanks, he was not prepared for Trump to win. He promises to return and views his departure as a politically motivated vacation. Hanks did not reveal which country he went to.

“It is with a heavy heart and an even heavier suitcase that I announce that I have officially left the country. Yes, you read that right—I am now writing this from a distant, unknown location with a beautiful view of… well, something that is definitely not America. You ask why am I here? President Trump 2.0 was not what I was prepared for.

When I saw the election results, I thought, “Run, Forrest, run!” That's exactly what I did. Please don't think of this as me abandoning my beloved country – just think of it as a very long vacation for political reasons.

I'll be back…eventually. Oh, maybe just in time for President Oprah,” the publication quotes Hanks’ open letter.

Recall that American celebrities, including rapper Cardi B, expressed outrage after Donald Trump's victory. Those supporting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris included Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera.
