Taking advantage of this milestone in his life and his debut in the digital universe, he and his wife, Alejandra Silva, have issued an urgent statement. The purpose of the message is to make known the large number of fake posts in his name and to prevent fraud.
The couple has also used the famous social network to promote their foundation dedicated to social and environmental causes. Thanks to Richard's foray into Instagram, their projects will gain greater prominence. As it could not be otherwise, Alejandra has been the first follower that the renowned actor has counted.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva issue an important statement
Despite being one of the most recognized actors worldwide, Richard Gere was one of the few who did not have an Instagram account. Unlike his wife, Alejandra Silva, who does have her own profile, Gere has kept himself away from the digital universe.
Until now, when Richard has surprised everyone by taking the step of opening an account. "Hello everyone, I'm Richard Gere," he introduced himself in his first video. His first follower has been Alejandra, who has joined the statement published by her husband.
Taking advantage of his arrival on the social network, the star of Pretty Woman has warned about the fake accounts in his name. In an attempt to put a stop to so much fraud, Richard took the step of opening an account and showing his face.
"This is a quick message to let you know that there are many fake accounts out there using my name or pretending to be me," he warns. "Please, don't pay attention to any other profile claiming to be mine," he states. His message has received the reaction of Silva, who has strongly supported his words.
From now on, a new universe opens up for the couple. Until now, Alejandra was the only one with an account and who occasionally posted plans with Richard. Now, Gere follows her in this digital adventure that has already begun to bear fruit.

Alejandra has also reacted to her husband's arrival on the social network. "Welcome, my love," wrote the Galician, attaching a red heart emoji. Additionally, the couple has joined forces to make known through their profiles the foundation that Gere has created.
It is The Gere Foundation dedicated to defending social and environmental causes, which also has its own profile. This way, Richard makes clear the path he intends to follow with his posts. Far from showing his private life, he plans to dedicate his account to charitable and social causes.
Principles to which he has always remained faithful and which he shares with Silva. Gere's presence on Instagram is an extension of his commitment to social and humanitarian causes. Through this platform, he has the opportunity to share messages of awareness and hope with a broader audience.
Without a doubt, this change in his life is very significant, and his followers are eager to see his posts. For now, he has only shared his welcome message, but surely Gere will offer unique moments.
