Richard Gere's confession about Alejandra Silva and Spain

During the interview, Richard Gere didn't hesitate to talk about Galicia, his wife Alejandra's homeland. "My wife comes from a very special place in Spain, Galicia. When she talks about Galicia, it's as if Galicia were the paradise of paradises, everything good comes from Galicia."

"It's a very beautiful place that's very similar to where I grew up because there are many trees and it's very green. I love it," he said affectionately. Later, the actor highlighted his social commitment, particularly with the Open Arms project.

For years, Gere has been a strong supporter of this organization that saves lives in the Mediterranean. He recalled how his first contact with the project was eight years ago, when, with his wife, they decided to get more involved.

"I got in a car and went to the airport to get to Lampedusa," he recounted while remembering his first steps with the NGO. Throughout the interview, the actor also talked about the criticism he receives for his social activism, clarifying that "it's not that hard to do the right thing."
