Julianne Moore, 64, puts on leggy display in a thigh-high split fringed dress as she steps out in New York - amid plans to relocate to the UK
Julianne Moore put on a leggy display in a black fringed dress as she stepped out in New York on Thursday. The American actress, 64, who is planning to permanently relocate to the UK, looked incredibly glamorous. The look was completed with a pair of black sunglasses, ensuring all eyes were on Julianne's new haircut which she debuted at the premiere of Netflix 's Sirens. The actress has been busy in recent days promoting her new film Echo Valley, which releases globally Friday. In the film, Julianne steps into the shoes of Kate Garrett, a grieving mother who is trying to keep her farm running when her daughter Claire interrupts her life of seclusion covered in blood and on the run from a drug dealer.

Julianne's character is then forced to make some difficult decisions when it emerges that the blood her daughter is covered in is not her own. Described as an edge-of-your-seat thriller, the film also stars Sydney Sweeney, 27, as Julianne's on-screen daughter Claire. Julianne's appearance in New York comes after the actress revealed that she has considered relocating to the UK with her husband Bart Freundlich. The actress was born in North Carolina but gained British citizenship because her late mother, Anne, was Scottish. And now she could join a huge list of stars fleeing the US with some citing Trump as the reason they want to leave. Appearing on the Capital Breakfast with her Echo Valley co-star Sydney on Tuesday, Julianne opened up about her plans to move to the UK. Host Chris Stark asked: 'Julianne, you're a British citizen, is that right?' 'Yeah, my mother was from Scotland, so I have a British passport,' Julianne explained. Chris said: 'That's so cool.' 'I know it is cool, right?' Julianne added. 'So, what's it like being back? Could you see yourself maybe coming and living here full-time?' Chris asked. Julianne revealed: 'I can actually, my husband and I have talked about that sometimes. It could be kind of fun. 'I've worked here a lot and I'm really comfortable here. I've been working here, gosh, probably since the nineties.' Radio co-host Jordan North asked: 'Really?' Sian Welby added: 'What since Hannibal?' 'Yeah, since before that actually,' Julianne laughed before continuing: 'Once I was coming into the UK and somebody told me I was in the wrong line and I was like 'no I'm not!'

Julianne replied: 'Yeah, I have a passport,' before a shocked Sydney said: 'No way, I didn't know that!' 'Yeah, my mother was from Scotland, so I have a British passport,' Julianne explained. Chris said: 'That's so cool.' 'I know it is cool, right?; Julianne added. 'So, what's it like being back? Could you see yourself maybe coming and living here full-time?' Chris asked.

'Yeah, since before that actually,' Julianne laughed before continuing: 'Once I was coming into the UK and somebody told me I was in the wrong line and I was like 'no I'm not!' In March, Courtney Love became the latest star to reveal she's becoming a British citizen, because of 'frightening 'Donald Trump's return to the White House. Courtney, who was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain from 1992 until his suicide in 1994, says she's looking to permanently relocate in the UK due to her dissatisfaction with the Trump administration in the US. Speaking at the Royal Geographical Society in London, she said: 'I'm really glad I'm here. 'It's so great to live here. I'm finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen - I'm applying, man! Can't get rid of me!' The remarks drew rapturous applause from the London audience. Courtney went on to criticize the US President and his inner circle, admitting: 'In terms of Trump, and particularly this group... it's like emperor-core - like, [they're] wearing million-dollar watches. Celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi, designer Tom Ford, Ryan Gosling and his wife Eva Mendes are among those who have fled America for the UK 'Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It's frightening now. It's like cyanide now.' Courtney, who has a 32-year-old daughter, Frances Cobain, with Kurt, has been living in London for several years, having moved to the capital from Los Angeles in 2019. Courtney has been vocal of her love of London for some time, saying in 2017: 'I know I'm going to end up there. 'I know what neighbourhood I'm going to end up in, and I know that I want to be on the Thames. I subscribe to this magazine called Country Life, which is just real-estate porn and fox hunting. It's amazing.' She is not the first celebrity to move to the UK since the reelection of Trump, with the woke stars being dubbed the 'Donald Dashers'. The so-called 'Donald Dash' has been backed up by Home Office figures this week which revealed that applications for UK citizenship soared in the last quarter of 2024, rising 40 per cent year on year. In fact more than 6,100 US citizens applied last year, the most since records began two decades ago and 26 per cent more than in 2023. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi put their California mansion up for sale after the election results came in and kickstarted their 'retirement' in the UK, with sources alleging the 'US doesn't like her because of her sexual preferences'. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling were already living in the UK and are now planning to stay put, a sentiment echoed by British-American actress Minnie Driver, who returned to London after nearly three decades of living in Los Angeles. Ugly Betty star America was allegedly spotted checking out schools in west London - after saying she wanted to leave the US when Trump was elected. One Notting Hill estate agent, who revealed the amount of wealthy American families they are moving in has 'skyrocketed' since Trump, told MailOnline: 'We moved a Marvel actress into a house very near here in the last week.' Eva Longoria, a Texas native who has been living abroad for work, is taking permanent residency in Mexico and Spain with her husband and son in order to 'escape' her 'dystopian' homeland.

Nepo baby with Hollywood star mum and director dad releases new song – can you guess his A-list parents?
THIS nepo-baby has very famous Hollywood star parents - but can you guess who they are? The 27-year-old singer has been making his own name in the industry. 3 Instead of following in his parents acting footsteps, he has found his passion for music and has spent the last year releasing music. But have you worked out who it is yet? It's singer-songwriter Caleb Moore. And his parents are none other than A-lister Julianne Moore and her longtime filmmaker husband Bart Freundlich. 3 Caleb is Julianne's first born child. He attended Davidson College before earning a Masters in Music and Screen Scoring at New York University. Caleb appeared in the 2014 movie Still Alice alongside his mother. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film. He has also appeared in Trust The Man in 2005. Caleb's breakthrough singles Sunshine and Happier was released in 2023, followed by track Missed Me. Julianne Moore, 63, shines in golden plunging gown at The Room Next Door premiere as film gets 17 minute ovation In an interview with Mystic Sons, Caleb spoke about his love for being able to create music. "It's such a gift to be able to do music for a living honestly," he said. "I'm always reminding myself of that, 'cause ultimately no matter how bogged down I feel at any one time by work or the uncertainty that is being an independent artist, the actual way I get to spend my time is doing exactly what I would be doing if I wasn't working - making music. "And I think now I'm reaching a different phase as well where I feel really rewarded by being able to share my music with the people close to me. "That wasn't always a part of it for me, and I think I was missing something without knowing when I was keeping my music to myself." Julianne and Bart also share daughter Liv Helen Moore Freundlich was born on April 11, 2002 and is currently 23 years old. Liv has appeared in two films directed by her father, the 2009 flick The Rebound and the 2005 movie Trust The Man. 3

Hollywood's latest nepo baby roasted by scathing viewers as he releases 'terrible' new music video
Hollywood's latest ' nepo baby ' has released a music video that had viewers spitting venom as they reacted with unbridled derision. The showbiz legacy in question is Caleb Moore Freundlich, the son of Julianne Moore and her longtime filmmaker husband Bart Freundlich. Now 27, Caleb has entered the industry himself, dropping his lesser-known surname and echoed his Oscar-winning mother with the sobriquet Caleb Moore. He has veered away from his parents' world, the movies, and become an indie musician, releasing a new single called Comeback Kid. The video consists of one shot of him walking down a city street as he complains about a lover who regards him as 'only a good time when you're not asleep.' Commenters were scathing about the 'terrible' video, cringing at the 'derivative music,' the 'weak' vocals and of course his Hollywood connections. 'Discovered by his mom! She's in the wrong biz, she should be a scout for a record label! Julienne has an ear that only a mother can have,' joked a viewer. One groaned: 'just what we need... another nepo baby,' another wondered: 'Why is he whispering... ?' and a third wrote: 'Terrible production, not genuine or memorable.' 'Nope. Weak sounding lacks vocal control,' came the verdict from another observer as an exasperated listener said: 'There are millions of better musicians .Everythingabout him is mediocre.' 'Wow,' marveled one listener. 'It pays to have to famous and wealthy parents. You can produce derivative music that has no intrinsic merit and have yourself a fine little career. Inside I'm sure he doesn't feel all that good about this.' 'Depressing,' an audience member opined, while another gasped: ' is really, really terrible. It is meant to be serious? Even his mom couldn't help this succeed.' The New York City release party for the music video included such names as Billy Crudup, who acted in the 2019 film After The Wedding directed by Caleb's father and starring Caleb's movie star mother, via Deadline. He took an auteur's approach to Comeback Kid, not only singing it but also producing, mixing, writing and mastering it himself. Caleb explained that the song was inspired by his epiphany that he had cultivated a '"keep your chin up" attitude almost to a fault.' Commenters were scathing about the 'terrible' video, cringing at the 'derivative music,' the 'weak' vocals and of course his Hollywood connections On the personal front, Caleb got engaged to his girlfriend Kibriyaá Morgan, a development Julianne celebrated by giving them a party. He is part of a glut of rising stars with famous parents, from Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose Depp to Andie MacDowell's daughter Margaret Qualley. Maude Apatow, whose parents are Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, and Kaia Gerber, whose mother is Cindy Crawford, have shot to fame in recent years as well. Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum and Elvis Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough are also coming up, among others like Maya Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. The online chatter around 'nepo babies' reached a fever pitch in December 2022 after New York magazine ran a viral cover story about the phenomenon. Dakota Johnson, whose parents are Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and whose grandmother is Hitchcock blonde Tippi Hedren, was one of the faces on the cover. Jamie Lee Curtis, the daughter of Psycho actress Janet Leigh and Some Like It Hot dreamboat Tony Curtis, then waded into the debate.
