Actor Richard Gere already had a number of prosperous roles at the time of filming. Among them are, for example, films such as American gigolo, The Search for Mr. Goodbar or An Officer and a Gentleman. Still, it was the character of Edward lewis, a charismatic but emotionally unavailable millionaire, that made him the sex symbol of the 90s. With its effortless elegance and attractive appearance, it has won audiences around the world. Even though he was already around forty at the time, he became the idol of many women.
Today, at the age of 76, Gere prefers a quiet family life. He lives with his wife Alejandra Silva, 33 years his junior, with whom he raises two young sons. The family decided to move to Spain, his wife’s native country. “It will be fantastic for Alejandra to be closer to her family, friends and culture. She was very generous in giving me six years of life in my world, so it’s only fair that I give her at least six more in hers,” stated Gere for Vanity Fair. And even though he has already hung up acting, he still remains in the hearts of many women.
