With wins in the five primaries held Tuesday, Donald Trump is edging closer to the Republican nomination for president, and some celebrities are edging closer to packing their bags for locations beyond the U.S. border.

Or so they say.

On Tuesday,  actress and produer Lena Dunham announced that if Donald Trump is elected president that she plans to move to Canada. Trump, jumping on Dunham's line, said he now has a new incentive to win, and that America will thank him for ridding the country of Dunham and other celebrities who have  publically promised to make a run  for the border should Trump win the nomination and the race for the presidency.

Here’s a list of some who have said they plan to leave the country in the event of a Trump win.
