The legend of Hollywood Richard Gere, loved for films such as Pretty Woman and American Gigolo, has made a surprising announcement: he sold all his properties in the United States, he moved with his family to Spain and sworn never to return.

The surprising reason? Gere said he no longer wants to “breathe the same air of Elon Musk.”

Goodbye to America

In a felt declaration, Gere explained that he no longer feels at home in the United States. The growing influence of powerful figures like Musk – which he believes represent extreme capitalism and political chaos – was one of the main factors of his decision to leave.

“The America I loved no longer exists,” said Gere. “When so much power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few, it’s time to look for a better life elsewhere.”

Finding peace in Spain

Gere, together with his wife Alejandra Silva and their children, has found a new beginning in Spain – a country that describes as rich in culture, history and a slower and more significant lifestyle.

“Here we can live more serenely, away from constant stress and the division that now defines the United States,” Alejandra shared in a recent interview.

The transfer to Spain is not completely new for the family – Alejandra is Spanish, and Gere has deep ties with the country. They say that the warm and welcoming lifestyle adapts to their values ​​and the life they want for their children.

A new chapter – Not the end

Although many fans were shocked by Gere’s departure, he insist that it is not a farewell to his career. In fact, he is enthusiastic about the new opportunities in European cinema, hoping to work on projects that focus more on art, culture and narration – rather than on the growing obsession of Hollywood for money and fame.

Social media exploded after the news was widespread, with #richardgereggereinspain that has taken hold all over the world. While some have expressed sadness, others have praised his courage to follow his principles.

“It is devastating to see Richard Gere leave,” he tweeted a fan, “but I admire him for deploying himself with what he believes in. I hope you find the peace he is looking for.”

A powerful message

Gere’s transfer is something more than a simple geographical question – it is a declaration on the type of world he wants for himself and his family. His story reminds us that even the most famous among us seek authenticity, peace and purpose – and sometimes this means moving away from the life that everyone expects that you live.

While Richard Gere begins this new chapter in Spain, his inheritance as an actor and passionate voice for change remains stronger than ever.
