Richard Gere Reveals Why He Will Never Act In Hollywood Again

Richard Gere, known for hits like "Pretty Woman" and "Chicago," has not starred in a mainstream Hollywood film since 2008. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gere explained that his absence from major films is due to China's influence in Hollywood. His vocal criticism of China's human rights issues in Tibet and his friendship with the Dalai Lama have led to his exclusion from films financed by China. Despite this, Gere remains content, focusing on indie films and enjoying financial stability from his successful career. Recent films include "The Dinner" and "Norman."
