Richard Gere is saying adios to Hollywood.
Indeed, the Runaway Bride star shared his plans to move to Spain with wife Alejandra Silva and their family, playfully telling Jimmy Fallon that their relocation is “world news.”
“My wife is Spanish and—is this a problem for anybody out there?” the actor joked on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Nov. 20 as members of the audience gasped. “Of course I’ll be back!”
The 75-year-old continued, “My wife is Spanish and she gave me about seven years here, so we’re going to spend some years in Madrid.”
The couple, who wed in 2018, share sons Alexander, 5, and James, 4, as well as Homer, 24, whom Richard shares with ex-wife Carey Lowell, and Albert, 11, from Alejandra’s marriage to Govind Friedland. Despite the distance from their home in America, the An Officer and a Gentleman alum gave a good reason why the move should be a smooth transition for the family.
