"If Donald Trump wins the election, I'll move to Canada".
It's what several celebrities said during the US election, and now that President elect Trump is taking his seat in the White House, we're about to find out if they'll make good on their promise.
Big name stars including Lena Dunham, Miley Cyrus and Amy Schumer claimed they would have to bid farewell to the US if Trump and won - but will they really do that now?
The most hotly contested US election in living memory is over and Trump will be the next President, so those A-listers must be packing their bags, right?
Earlier this year, Miley Cyrus shared a lengthy post on Instagram.
She wrote: "Yes. That is a tear rolling down my cheek dripping off the end of my nose….. This makes me so unbelievable scared and sad…. Not only for our country but for animals that I love more than anything in this world….
We’re all just f*****g jam between his rich ass toes! Honestly f*** this s**t I am moving if this is my president! I don’t say things I don’t mean!)"
Look out, Canada, Miley could be coming your way.
Comedian Amy Schumer (if you can call her that) said she'd move to Europe if Trump won the election. Lucky us.
Thankfully, she won't be heading to the UK, though.
America's loss is Spain's gain!
Speaking to the BBC, she said: "My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish, because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It's beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s just too crazy."
Veteran actor Samuel L Jackson told Jimmy Kimmel back in December 2015 that he would move his "black ass to South Africa" if Trump won.
So now may be a good time to look for a condo in the sub-continent then, Samuel. We hear Cape Town is just lovely this time of year.
Scream actress Neve Campbell was born in Canada - and she's likely to be heading back there now.
She told the Huffington Post that she is "terrified" by the idea of President Trump.
When asked what she'd do if he won, she said: "Move back to Canada."
Girls creator Lena Dunham is another celebrity crossing the border to Canada, but to be fair, we're not sure anybody will care.
She said at an event earlier this year that she'd move to the land that gave us Justin Bieber if Trump got elected.
"I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will," she said.
"I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there."
Katy Perry stripped off in a video to encourage young people to register to vote.
In the sketch for US web series Funny or Die, the Roar singer is seen heading to the polls in her birthday suit – and subsequently getting arrested.
The popstar has long backed Clinton even taking to the stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to perform her hit Rise.
She told the crowd “that’s right – I love Hillary too” before giving an energetic rendition of her hit Roar, which has become an unofficial theme song for the campaign
Madonna broke form and followed in the footsteps of Katy Perry by posing nude to show her support for Mrs Clinton.
The 58-year-old Material Girl carefully angled the shot to preserve her modesty.
She captioned the picture: ”I’m voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary. She’s the best we got! Nude Voting series # 1 (sic)”!”
The queen of America’s reality TV royal family Kim Kardashian posed for a selfie with Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser for the Democrat.
She said: “I got my selfie!!! I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country!”
Kim could be a future First Lady if her husband Kanye West goes on to run for President in 2020.
Lady Gaga shared a photo of herself in an American flag swim suit on Instagram with the caption.
It had the caption: “#HILLARY2016 Nothing can keep a strong woman down. VOTE for the first female US president in history. Shake it up America, this country needs a little rock n’ roll.”
She has shown support for Clinton in the past, showing off her “Yaaas, Hillary!” T-shirt in a photo with the former Secretary of State in 2015.
Chat show host Ellen DeGeneres backed the Democrat.
“You know what a supporter I am,” Degeneres told Clinton during a visit to the comedian’s talk show earlier this year.
“I think that you’re as smart as can be, I think you are qualified, I think you stand for everything that I want in a president.”
Many of Clinton celebrity supporters have been satisfied to donate a four-figure sum or appear at a Clinton rally, but not Steven Spielberg.
He reportedly donated $1 million to help Clinton get elected.
Adele said during a Miami concert that she was “100% for Hillary Clinton.”
The singer told the audience that while she is British and can’t vote in the US, “what happens in America affects me too.”
Clinton happened to be in the audience during the show
