Hollywood icon Richard Gere has shocked fans by declaring that he will never return to the United States after relocating to Spain. In a recent interview, the Pretty Woman star revealed that he no longer feels aligned with the direction the U.S. is heading, stating, “The U.S. no longer fits my values.”
Gere, known for his humanitarian work and outspoken political views, expressed disappointment with the country’s current state, citing increasing division, political chaos, and cultural shifts that he feels have moved away from the ideals he once cherished. “I have found peace here in Spain. Life feels simpler, more meaningful. I don’t see myself going back to the U.S.,” he added.
His remarks have sparked intense reactions online, with some praising him for speaking his truth, while others criticized him for turning his back on the country that made him a star. Critics argue that Gere is out of touch with reality, while supporters believe he is making a strong statement about the need for change in America.
While Gere has not completely cut ties with Hollywood, sources suggest that he will focus on independent projects and philanthropic work abroad. Whether his decision is permanent remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Richard Gere has made his stance on the U.S. loud and clear.
