Actor and musician Jack Black has stunned fans with his announcement to leave the United States, citing a feeling of underappreciation.
Speaking at an emotional press conference, the typically upbeat entertainer shared his frustrations.
“I’ve dedicated my career to bringing joy to this country, yet I feel overlooked—ignored at awards and denied meaningful roles,” he said, his tone uncharacteristically serious.
Black’s decision follows a tough year marked by backlash over his outspoken views on environmental issues and political humor. “I’m not just here for laughs—I want to create change.
But it feels like I’m shouting into a void,” he explained, emphasizing the need to find a place where his efforts are valued.
Hints of his move had surfaced through cryptic social media posts, fueling speculation. While destinations like Iceland and Australia are rumored, Black has yet to confirm his plans.
Friends and fans, including longtime collaborator Kyle Gass, have expressed both surprise and support for the star’s next chapter. Wherever he lands, many are eager to see how this bold step shapes his future.
