54. Mark Sanford
According to Business Insider, in 2009, Mark Sanford, the then-governor of South Carolina, went missing for about six days after telling people he was going on an Appalachian Trail hike. He was actually going to Argentina to see his mistress, who was later identified as Mara Belén Chapur, as it turned out. When Sanford returned to the United States, he apologized for his secret liaison and begged forgiveness. Sanford and Chapur later got engaged, though it would be short-lived after his marriage fell apart.
55. Randy Quaid
According to CNN, Randy Quaid, an Academy Award nominee, and his wife, Evi Quaid, fled to Canada in 2010 to seek asylum from a group they dubbed “Hollywood star whackers” who were allegedly out to kill them. The couple’s illegal activities in the United States included using fake credit cards to pay for hotel bills and squatting in one of their former homes, which led to their escape to Canada. In 2011, the couple was granted permission to remain in Canada, according to CNN. Randy’s request for citizenship was denied in 2013, while Evi was able to obtain Canadian citizenship because her father was born in Canada.
