Rose McGowan is sharing an update on her life, five years after leaving the States behind for a new chapter in Mexico.
The actress, 51, moved to Mexico in 2020 and became a permanent resident of the country the following year. People reported on Friday, May 9 that while speaking on a panel at 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, McGowan divulged new details of what it’s been like to live in a different country.
“My father lived in Mexico for 35 years and mi gusta Mexico. Te quiero much, mi amores,” McGowan said. “It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There’s so much joy.”
She added: “My favorite word in Spanish is alegria, which means joy, and there’s so much of that there and color and passion and fun and different. Just different. And you know I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might.”
Rose McGowan wishes she formed a friendship with Shannen Doherty sooner. “If I have any regrets, I wish I could have gotten to know her sooner,” McGowan, 50, said on the Friday, August 23, episode of the “Let’s Be Clear With Shannen Doherty” podcast. (Doherty’s mother and inner circle are continuing the podcast in Doherty’s […]
The Charmed alum, who was a prominent figure in the #MeToo movement and outspoken against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, shared that one of the reasons behind the move was because she was seeking a quieter life than somewhere like Hollywood or New York could offer.
“There’s a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen,” she said. “I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk.”

Like with any big move to another country — particularly one where its citizens don’t speak your native language — there are aspects McGowan needed to adjust to, she admitted.
“There’s things about it that are difficult, just like anywhere, and it’s certainly a challenge sometimes, doing things when, at first, you don’t really know the language,” she said. “You’re navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though.”
Rose McGowan is getting candid about grieving the death of fellow Charmed star Shannen Doherty at the age of 53. “I can’t stop crying,” McGowan, 50, wrote via Instagram comment on Sunday, July 14. “A world without Shannen Doherty is inconceivable.” McGowan had replied to Jawbreaker costar Julie Benz, who called Doherty’s death “heartbreaking” in […]
McGowan announced in 2020 via her social media that she had relocated to Mexico in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I’m in a place called Coba (on the Yucatan peninsula),” she said. “I knew [Covid-19] was going to get really bad in America and I had a moment to figure out where I wanted to be. My lease was up in New York so I came here to Mexico where I’m living for a third of the price. It’s beautiful here.”
The following year, the Jawbreaker star confirmed she had obtained her permanent residency card.
“I just got my permanent residency card from Mexico, and I’m so grateful to have it,” she said during an interview with the YouTube show The Dab Roast in February 2021. “This is a really healing land here and it is truly magical.”
