Gere, 74, has long been an advocate for human rights and social justice. His decision to move, reportedly to Madrid, is in keeping with his desire for a more peaceful and culturally rich environment.

Adopting a new culture

While Gere hasn’t completely abandoned his Hollywood career, he is expected to focus more on his humanitarian work and personal projects in Spain. The actor has already immersed himself in the local culture, purchasing a historic property and partnering with Spanish philanthropic organizations.

For now, Gere seems to be accepting his new country, embracing a future that more closely aligns with his principles. Whether others will follow his lead remains to be seen.
