Why Richard Gere decided to leave the US and relocate to Spain

75-year-old Gere revealed his plan to relocate to Madrid, Spain, with his wife Alejandra Silva and their children. The actor shared on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that they are planning to move just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving there.

Speaking on why they decided to make the European move, Gere said, “My wife is Spanish and—is this a problem for anybody out there?” His words made some of the members of the audience gasp. “Of course I’ll be back!” he added.
