Lots of people have said they would leave the country if Donald Trump wins Tuesday's election, none more vociferous than the celebrity elite. As a reminder, here are nine who made the most noise about saying bye-bye to the USA.

1. Neve Campbell, who starred in "House of Cards" Season 4, said she was considering moving back to Canada if Trump wins, according to the Huffington Post.

"I'm terrified," said Campbell." "It's really scary. My biggest fear is that Trump will triumph. (I would) move back to Canada. I cannot believe that he is still in the game. I cannot conceive of how that's possible."

2. Bryan Cranston, Emmy Award-winning actor of "Breaking Bad," told The Bestseller Experience podcast last month that he would move north of the border upon Trump's election, according to The Wrap.

"Absolutely. I would definitely move," said Cranston. "It's not real to me that that would happen. I hope to God it won't. It wouldn't be a vacation. I'd be an expatriate."

3. Miley Cyrus used profanity on Instagram back in March during the Republican primaries to express her thoughts on a Trump presidency and moving to somewhere else, reported The Hill.

"Honestly f*** this s*** I am moving if this is my president," said the pop star and daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus to her 38 million followers on Instagram.

4. Lena Dunham, creator and star of the HBO series "Girls," in April said at the Matrix Awards that she promised to move to Vancouver if Trump wins election, according to The Hill.

"I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will," Dunham said then. "I know a lovely place in Vancouver, and I can get my work done from there."

5. Chelsea Handler in May said on "Live with Kelly and Michael" that she purchased a home in Spain just in case Trump wins the presidency, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I did buy a house in another country just in case, so all of these people that threaten to leave the country and then don't, I will leave the country," said the comedian and talk show host. "After Barack Obama, I'm just going to blow my head up."

6. Samuel L. Jackson said during a skit on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in December 2015 that he would move to South Africa if Trump wins. It was not clear if the comments, which came during a promotion of the movie "The Hateful Eight," were made in jest.

7. Keegan-Michael Key of Comedy Central's "Key & Peele" said in January that he would move to Canada, said TMZ. Key appeared at the last White House correspondence dinner as President Barack Obama's "anger translator."

"Geez, I might leave," Key told TMZ about a Trump presidency, per The Hill. "It's easy. It's like 10 minutes from Detroit and that's where I’m from."

8. Amy Schumer told BBC Newsnight in September that she would take her comedy performances to Spain if Trump was elected president.

"My act will change because I will have to learn Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere," Schumer said on the show. "It's beyond my comprehension if Trump wins."

9. Barbra Streisand told an Australian television host in August that she would move to Australia or Canada if Trump won, noted the Jerusalem Post.

"He has no facts," Streisand told Sydney journalist Michael Usher. "I don't know, I can't believe it. I'm either coming to your country, if you'll let me in, or Canada."
