Hollywood actor Richard Gere stunned the world when he announced his decision to leave the United States permanently following a heated argument with billionaire Elon Musk. However, his plan hit a major roadblock as both Spain and Italy reportedly refused to grant him entry.
The controversy began after a private dispute between Gere and Musk escalated into a public feud. While details of their argument remain unclear, sources suggest it stemmed from political and social disagreements. In response, Gere declared that he would never set foot in the U.S. again, seeking refuge in Europe instead.
His attempt to relocate, however, has proven more complicated than expected. According to reports, both Spain and Italy declined his residency applications, citing undisclosed legal or bureaucratic reasons. Some speculate that his outspoken activism and past political stances may have influenced the decision.
