Gentleman, has announced his decision to move with his family to Spain, citing dissatisfaction with the current political and social climate in the United States. Gere, 74, expressed frustration over America’s increasing polarization and the influence of tech billionaires like Elon Musk.
He stated that the dominance of figures like Musk, who can control public opinion with a tweet, contributed to his belief that America was becoming “unrecognizable.”
Gere and his wife, Alejandra Silva, plan to settle in a peaceful town in Galicia, Spain, seeking a simpler, nature-connected lifestyle for their family. While some supported his decision, viewing it as a form of protest, others criticized him for “giving up.” Although Gere has not officially retired, his move could mark a step back from Hollywood, though he remains open to international projects that align with his values. His departure raises broader questions about America’s future and the influence of powerful figures in society.
