Citizens of their country usually love their country, but must love it abroad is a difficult question. Yes, and patriotism is a difficult thing, so many domestic stars admit that they dislike or do not accept something in their native land. We decided to collect actors who do not like Russia into a single list, add a photo and find out the reason - why did they have this dislike?
Jim Carrey
- "The Mask", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "The Truman Show", "Ace Ventura: Finding Pets"
The Hollywood actor, to put it mildly, is not enthusiastic about many of our country's political decisions. The highlight on the cake of hostility towards Russia was Kerry's landmark act - Jim gave up shares on the social network Facebook and deleted his account from there after Russia's interference in the US elections in 2018. Jim's act can be explained by Mark Zuckenberg's statements about the buyout of political advertisements on the site by Russian companies.
Jennifer Lawrence
- The Hunger Games, My Boyfriend is Psycho, Detective Rush, The Medium
One of the Hollywood actresses who do not want to have anything to do with the Russian Federation is the actress from "X-Men" Jennifer Lawrence. The actress didn't even want to play a Russian spy in Red Sparrow, explaining that she didn't want to have anything to do with Russia. An unpleasant situation also arose during the press conference of the film "Mom!" - the actress simply did not want to answer to journalists from Russia and did not hide that the reason for this was political motives.
Morgan Freeman
- The Shawshank Redemption, Until I Played in the Box, Seven, Lucky Number Slevin
The foreign actor, loved by many domestic viewers for his roles in The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight and Million Dollar Baby, does not like Russia. He in no way projects his dislike on the inhabitants of the country, but only clearly explains his political position. Morgan Freeman believes that the Cold War did not end at all, but with the coming to power of the current Russian president, on the contrary, entered its apotheosis. In 2016, the actor recorded an appeal not only to his fans, but also to the public, where he called Vladimir Putin a KGBist who wants to destroy the canons of democracy around the world.
Mark Ruffalo
- "The Avengers", "The Illusion of Deception", "Isle of the Damned", "Ordinary Heart"
The Avengers star can also be attributed to the stars who hate our country. The reason for the dislike lies in Mark's political views and the attitude of Russians towards the LGBT community. In the American elections, the actor actively supported Hillary Clinton, believing that Donald Trump was an accomplice of the Kremlin. Finally, Ruffalo's attitude towards Russia deteriorated after visiting Russia. Mark stated in one of the popular TV shows that the Russian policemen were not far from the KGB officers. Well, the last straw for Ruffalo was the adoption in our country of a law banning gay pride parades. Mark is not shy in expressions, and believes that Russia is a backward country.
Ian McKellen

He believes that the government supports disgusting and inhuman laws.
Stanislav Sadalsky
- "Say a word about the poor hussar", "12 chairs", "Station for two", "Yeralash"
After the events in Abkhazia and South Ossetia Stanislav Sadalsky could not contain his emotions. He considered the introduction of Russian troops into the territories of countries and Russia's interference in the affairs of other peoples as an unacceptable step. In protest, the actor received Georgian citizenship. After the events in Ukraine, Stanislav stressed that his anti-Russian sentiments only intensified, and he was ashamed that military intervention in the policies of neighboring countries by Russia had become something normal and self-evident.
Alexey Serebryakov
- "Fan", "How Vitka Garlic Carried Leha Shtyr to the Home for Invalids", "Method", "Ladoga"
For many years, Alexey has not lived in Russia - the actor lives in Canada and does not regret his decision. According to him, the main reason for his departure was the desire to raise children in a healthy society and a sense of peace. Serebryakov does not want the ideological dogmas of Russian society to become an ideal picture in the eyes of his children. The actor believes that the country is ruined by rudeness, aggression and a chronic fear of freedom. Many colleagues in the shop condemn Alexei's statements, but the actor expresses his own opinion and does not impose it on others.
George Clooney
- Catch-22, Gravity, Seal of Evil, Ides of March
The famous Hollywood actor fell out of love with Russia after the events on the Ukrainian Maidan, and later he was outraged by the presence of Russian troops in the LPR and DPR.

According to the star, peaceful demonstrations and expressions of the will of the people are the norm, and unfortunately, there is no such norm in the Russian Federation.
Tim Roth
- "The Legend of the Pianist", "Reservoir Dogs", "Four Rooms", "The Hateful Eight"

What is happening now on the territory of neighboring countries is causing concern for the entire civilized world. That's just terrible".

Oksana comes home to take part in various projects, but says that she will never return to Russia.
Amalia Mordvinova
- "Women's Property", "Radio Day", "Chasing an Angel", "Thief"
The reason for the dislike of the Russian actress for her country was the level of domestic cinema. Amalia in 2009 announced that she no longer wants to engage in meaningless antics to entertain the audience, and left the country. At first, Mordvinova lived with her family in India, but she did not like the local education system. Now Amalia lives in America and does not regret her decision to leave.
Anatoly Pashinin

He remembered his Ukrainian roots after the outbreak of military events on the territory of the current LPR and DPR.

Stephen Fry
- Jeeves and Worcester, Twelfth Night, Cold Whole Shop, Bones
Famous British comedian Steve Fry completes the list of actors who do not like Russia, with photos and a reason - why. The actor does not hide his orientation and actively defends the rights of the LGBT community. Fry finally hated Russia after meeting with Vitaly Milonov, a well-known conservative in Russia. After his trip to Russia, Stephen made a statement: “The Russians have mixed a cocktail of nationalism, religious hatred and sex. They do not understand Western views and liberal-minded people. One has only to hope that future generations of Russians will not absorb religious fanaticism and political ignorance. "
