Rock star Tommy Lee says he will move back to his birth country of Greece if President Trump is reelected in November.
“Dude, I swear to god if that happens then I’m coming over to visit the UK,” the Motley Crue drummer told the Big Issue in an interview released this week. “I’m out of here. I’ll go back to my motherland, go back to go Greece and get a house on one of the islands.”
“The thing that stings the most is that I feel like we’re embarrassing,” Lee, who was born in Greece but came to the United States at the age of one, added. “I feel like people in Europe and the rest of the world look at America and think: ‘What the f— are you guys doing over there? Stop voting for celebrities and get someone real to run the country.’”
Lee has criticized Trump in the past, calling him “scary” and “delusional” in 2019.
Lee joins a list of celebrities this year who have floated the idea of leaving the U.S. if Trump is reelected, including singer John Legend, who said in an interview earlier this year that people might need to “start thinking about going somewhere else.”
At least 20 celebrities toyed with the idea of moving to another country in 2016 if Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, including Whoopi Goldberg, Snoop Dogg, Miley Cyrus, George Lopez, and Amy Schumer.
