Los Angeles, August 13: Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel, a longtime outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, has revealed that he has now obtained Italian citizenship, a move he admitted while discussing politics on 'The Sarah Silverman Podcast,' according to The Hollywood Reporter. According to the publication, during his chat with fellow comedian Sarah Silverman, the two spoke about how some celebrities have chosen to leave the United States after Trump's return to the White House.

Silverman noted that "a lot of people" she knows are exploring other citizenship options. That's when Kimmel confirmed, "I did get Italian citizenship. I do have that." Kimmel further described the current political climate in the U.S. as "so much worse" than expected, adding that it was "probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be." ‘With Love, Meghan’ Season 2 Trailer Is Out: Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show is Back on Netflix, Check Out Release Date, Guest Lineup and More (Watch Video).
