Kevin Sorbo Says He's "Done" With California: "They Can Keep Their Taxes, Traffic, and Negativity"

Kevin Sorbo, the actor best known for starring in“Hercules,”has officially closed the door on California. In a new interview, he said he’s done with the state, citing high taxes, endless traffic, and what he calls“negativity.”Sorbo left the Golden State for Florida nearly seven years ago, and it sounds like he’s never looking back.“They can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity, I’m done,”he said.

Sorbo is currently promoting his new faith-based film,“Elijah Peel,”which is in theaters now. The movie has some big names attached behind the scenes, including Willie and Korie Robertson from“Duck Dynasty”as executive producers. Sorbo argues that the success of films like this proves that filmmakers don’t need Hollywood’s approval anymore. He also doubled down on his criticism of the entertainment industry, claiming that conservatives and Christians are often blacklisted, and comparing their treatment to“seventh grade mean girls.”

Whether you agree with him or not, Sorbo’s comments tap into a bigger conversation about celebrity relocations, the cost of living in California, and whether Hollywood is out of touch with a large portion of the country. Faith-based movies are pulling in serious audiences these days, so maybe he’s onto something. What do you think? Is Kevin Sorbo right about California and Hollywood, or is he just holding a grudge?
