Richard Gere Quits Hollywood and America, Slams Elon Musk: “I Refuse to Breathe the Same Air”
Veteran actor and humanitarian Richard Gere has made a dramatic exit from the United States, selling off his American properties and relocating permanently to Spain with his wife, Alejandra Silva, and their children. His reason? A deep disillusionment with the direction of the country—and one man he sees as the poster child of its decline: Elon Musk.
“The America I once loved doesn’t exist anymore,” Gere declared. “When billionaires like Musk control the narrative and shape society to fit their egos, it’s not a place I can call home.”
For Gere, this isn’t just a change of scenery—it’s a declaration of independence. While his ties to Spain run deep through his marriage to Alejandra, this move marks a decisive break from a lifestyle he no longer believes in.
“Life is calmer here,” Alejandra noted. “It’s a more grounded, human place for our children to grow up.”
Though Gere is stepping away from the bright lights of Hollywood, he’s far from retiring. Instead, he plans to immerse himself in European cinema—an industry he believes still values artistry over box office numbers.
“Hollywood has become a machine—profit over purpose. I want to create something that matters,” Gere explained.
Reactions have poured in across social media, with fans praising his courage and clarity. “He’s choosing integrity over comfort,” one user wrote. “That’s the kind of star I’ll always support.”
For Gere, the move is more than physical—it’s deeply philosophical. A quiet rebellion against a culture he no longer trusts, and a bold step toward a life defined by peace, purpose, and authenticity.
