Hollywood Star Richard Gere Leaves U.S. Citing Political Tension
A number of celebrities have taken a stand and moved from the United States in recent years. It is often politically motivated and as influencers, they can certainly influence others to do the same.
Another celebrity has now moved from the United States, and he is a legendary actor known for some epic roles. Richard Gere, the actor who played in Pretty Woman shocked people when he made the statement that he and his family were moving to Spain.
One of the reasons why the actor has made this move is because of his dislike for Elon Musk, who has been an important part of the Trump administration. He is also dissatisfied with much of the American political scene and the social landscape.
The move to Spain for Richard Gere is a change in his life to be certain. He and his family are some of the most recognized in Hollywood, and he has been a fan favorite for many years.
Because he is leaving the luxurious neighborhoods behind and looking for a more calm and peaceful life, he may just be taking a step in the right direction. He was reported to have said: “Spain is a country rich in history, culture, and warm people. I believe my family and I can live more harmoniously here, far from the constant social and political pressure that has taken over the United States.”
Elon Musk seems to be one of the factors that had an influence on him to move. Gere said that his growing influence worldwide and especially in American business and politics was of concern. He said: “I’m concerned about what’s happening in the United States, with the accumulation of power and money in the hands of people like Musk.”
Other actors have also voiced similar opinions about the political landscape in the United States. As far as Richard Gere is concerned, however, he is now on his way to Spain where he will live with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their children.
Silva said: “We feel very fortunate to be moving to such a beautiful country, full of traditions, art, and a lifestyle that perfectly suits what we are looking for for our children. Spain is a place where we can live a more peaceful life, less stressed and constantly living life in the US.”
This is not the first time that Richard Gere has had such a close connection with Spain. His wife is originally from the country, and he feels that it was a good move.
This is not only because of the political landscape in the United States, it is also because they want to work on the children and their bilingual abilities.
Regardless of why he left, we appreciate what Richard Gere has left for us in the movies. We wish him and his family well.
