According to Page Six, the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor recently shared his three reasons for leaving the Golden State. We have the details below.
Kevin Sorbo Says Florida Offers Him "Acceptance"
Sorbo moved to Florida from California seven years ago. And while the actor says he misses Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, his golf course, his old house, and the state's amazing weather, Florida offers him something that California doesn't: "acceptance."
Sorbo has been vocal about his political and religious views over the years. He believes the entertainment industry in California has punished him for those beliefs.
"That's why I find a lot of things in Hollywood, with their blacklisting people that have conservative or Christian viewpoints, I find it like they're seventh-grade mean girls," said Sorbo. "It's just ridiculous and childish to me. We all have different opinions. There's nothing wrong with that."
Sorbo Says He's Thriving in Florida
Sorbo also shared three reasons he's not going back to California.
"I mean, here in Florida, yeah, we get five months of pretty high humidity. It's pretty hot, but the winters here are really quite amazing," said Sorbo. "But yeah, there are things I miss, but they can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity. I'm done."
Sorbo says he is thriving since moving to Florida. The independent film community in the state has welcomed him. He also claims that creatives from across the country have reached out to him through his production company, Sorbo Studios.
"The people I've met here, the contacts I've met, it's been incredible," he said.
While Sorbo believes he has been "canceled" for his conservative views, he believes others in Hollywood who share those beliefs no longer have to hide.
"It's the conservatives that are in the closet now because they saw me get canceled," Sorbo said. "But I'm still working."
