Goya film award: Richard Gere attacks Donald Trump

Richard Gere (75) was a guest at the Spanish Film Award Goya in Granada last Saturday. Together with his wife Alejandra (41), who wore a glamorous robe in black with sparkling applications, he showed himself to be bright and in a good mood on the red carpet. On the stage of the award, the actor, who received the honorary award of the evening, then hit serious tones.

After acting colleague Antonio Banderas (64) presented him with the award for his life’s work and there was a standing ovation for the actor, Gere spoke not only about acting, but about the currently split political situation. “Unfortunately, we have elected representatives who do not inspire us as we want it,” said the 75-year-old, as shows. “We are in a very dark place in America, where a tyrant and a criminal of the United States President is.”

Gere, who lives in Spain and in his speech the country calls his “new home”, continued after an intermediate applause: “But it is not only in the USA, it is everywhere. We have to be vigilant and brave. We have to be elevate and say the truth. ” Already at a press conference on Friday, Gere warned: “We have to be careful about this dark marriage of money and power. It is irresponsible and caustic that millionaires are at the top of the United States, it is a danger to the whole planet.”

In an interview with the “Elle España”, the “Pretty Woman” star raved about his new life in Europe in January 2025. He has found new fulfillment since he moved to Madrid with his wife, a Spanish PR consultant, and the children and her son from an earlier relationship. “The truth is that they see us in a new momentum. We are happier than ever before. [Alejandra]Because she is at home and I because I am happy when she is happy, “says the Hollywood star.

The American shared his plans to move to Spain for the first time in April 2024 and that the move to his wife’s home would allow her to be closer to her relatives. “For Alejandra it will be wonderful to be closer to her family, her lifelong friends and her culture,” said Gere in the Spanish “Vanity Fair”. “She was very generous and gave me six years in my world, so it’s just fair that I give her in her world for at least another six years.”
