“The millionaire clowns around Trump are immature and narcissistic, and that is deadly”
It was almost an hour late, but it is what Hollywood stars have, which as soon as they appear, with their bearing and charisma they are forgiven everything. And that is what happened with Richard Gere, Goya International of 2025 who despite waiting for journalists who crowded the palace of Carlos V of Granada, took a click to conquer them with that smile that made him famous in Hollywood and He put that label that now smells like an camphor, that of Galán.
And there is still something of that, he demonstrated it by answering with elegance and education the questions of the press after a “good afternoon, all good? Fantastic ”with which he demonstrated his steps in Spanish.
But there is also something that has maintained over the years, and it is its commitment and activism. When asked about the political situation in the US, he did not walk with euphemisms, and described these moments as “disturbing.”
“I am in shock for what is happening. People have chosen this president, and that is a fact, but I don't think people like what they are really doing. He is doing worse even what he said. What he has done in recent weeks, cancel programs against AIDS in Africa, one of the few things that had done USA in education and health … They are dark moments for the US, and it is time to get up. You have to be vigilant, because we do not know how quickly all this can happen. Now there is a very dangerous marriage between the power and money that we had not seen so far. It is irresponsible and dangerous how those millionaires are directing the country and the planet, ”said the actor.
His concern for the time of his country continued in another of his answers. “When you join money and power, that creates a dark place to be, and that is reality. If you had Millionaires Santos, it would be different, but they are not very developed people, they do not have emotional intelligence. These clowns around the US president are immature, narcissists. And that is deadly, “he said severity and settled:” The world is at risk. ”
He also spoke of his commitment to help the homeless, and gave the microphone to his partner, who said that this was the reason why they had decided to move to Spain, to collaborate closely with the associations that are actively working on an issue that the actor addressed in Invisible: “We are on this planet to help us. The figures of homeless people in Spain are around 50,000 or 60,000 people. It is a manageable figure. In the US are millions. We can make a situation here so that people are not on the street, that they rehant their lives, and we are working on that. ”
THE FUTURE OF THE SALAS
Gere also talked about the future of movie theaters, and although he self -cut as “a dinosaur”, he did not express fear that they end. “I remember when television arrived, that people also said that the cinema was going to end, and there was even a political movement in which you had to position yourself, choose between cinema and television, because it was thought that only a medium could survive. There has been a lot of that. Now it is easier and cheaper to see things at home, but the experience of going to the cinema is deeper, being with dark strangers is different, it is the oldest way to tell stories, it is the cave around the fire, ”reflected the Actor, which defined Days of heaven, of Terrence Malickas his best film and remembered Spanish director Nestor Almendros, who won the Oscar for that work.
Of course, he was asked about the controversy of the week around the tweets of the Spanish actress Karla Sofía Gascón, but Gere preferred not to comment. He claimed that he did not have enough knowledge of the subject to comment and preferred not to enter the mud. Who if he spoke was from Lorca, who recalled an experimental work that he saw in Broadway's off, “a very political work that reflected the difficult moments he spent in Spain.”
He mentioned again and again his “beautiful Spanish wife,” and recalled how he visited the Alhambra 40 years ago, which “impressed” him for his beauty, “his architecture and his nature.” So much that he spoke years later with his friend Dalai Lama about her. Gere culminated his anecdote confessing that Dalai Lama felt “more interested in people” than for the building itself.
