On the eve of America’s birthday, actor Kirk Cameron announced he has fled California for Tennessee.
The “Growing Pains” star said his decision to abandon the West Coast was sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and solidified by the political and cultural disunity present across the Golden State.
“It’s pretty clear that California has been moving in a particular direction for a long time,” he told the Washington Examiner.

Cameron, 53, also took to his Facebook account last week to talk about his move to the Volunteer State.
He joked that the policies in California are making state Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) the “U-Haul employee of the year” as many are choosing to leave the Pacific Coast and head to other states.
“As Pastor Jack Hibbs has reminded us, we can all be Tennesseans and join in on the parade of praise and of repentance, fasting, and prayer, asking God to have His hand of mercy on your state—whether that’s California or New York or New Hampshire or Minnesota or South Dakota, wherever you are.”
Cameron said in a separate interview that he discovered Tennessee has become a haven for “a lot of California refugees,” including many “creatives” looking for a new place outside of Hollywood to establish community.
