The actor takes care of the nickname of S-symbol of him and they maintain daily customs to look and feel healthy at this age.
At 73 years old, the American actor Richard Tiffany Gere continues to be a symbol of integrity and indisputable beauty. The varied interpretations of him as a doctor, a teacher, a husband, a gigolo, a journalist, and a gentleman are just one example of his versatility in the fiction we see on screen.
However, in real life, there are also signs of his demanding routine to stay fit and active, especially when it comes to parenting. Gere has three biological children, two of them born between 2018 and 2020. At the moment, only the name of one of the children is known, Homer James, 22, who was the result of the relationship between the actor and Carey Lowell.
Currently, Gere is married to the Spanish publicist Alejandra Silva, who in 2019 celebrated the arrival of the couple's first child: “Very happy receiving blessings for our precious treasure to arrive. I could not mention it without first telling his holiness, the Dalai Lama ”. The mention of the Dalai Lama introduces us to one of Richard Gere's keys to stealing sand from time.
Meditation
Peace of mind is one of the fundamental pillars of Gere's day-to-day life. For more than thirty years the actor has dedicated at least two hours of his daily time to meditation. In 2012, for example, he traveled to India to participate in a series of prayers and exercises with the Dalai Lama in the town of Bodhgaya, in the northeast of that country.
More here in time, in 2022, the S- symbol participated in the 87th birthday of the religious leader. On that occasion, he related how his beginnings in the world of meditation were. “I was able to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, India, 40 years ago. This clearly changed my life,” Gere said.
Feeding
Gere, who in 2003 received the Golden Globe for best actor in a Comedy or Musical, is a vegetarian not only for health reasons but also for religious reasons. When he was running in 2010, the American heartthrob traveled to Bodhgaya and proposed turning it into a "vegetarian zone." The motion had its reason for being: it was there that Buddhism, according to the records of history, reached enlightenment and eternal devotion.
"Since Bodhgaya is the sacred land where Buddha achieved enlightenment, consecrating it as a vegetarian area would be in line with the true teachings of Buddha," Tenzin Kunga Luding - a reference to that religion - told the IANS agency at the time.
Within this framework, Gere carries out a demanding eating routine that is free of meat. fresh fruits and vegetables; meals free of cholesterol, fat, and sugars; and foods rich in vitamins and nutrients such as legumes, beans, and lentils are commonplace in this man's diet. Of course, on his daily schedule, there is no place for junk food.
Exercise
Running and walking are two regular activities for Gere, who relies on a personal physical trainer to refine and make the exercise routines more complex, respecting, of course, age. It is not the same to do it at 20 years old as it is to do it at 73. In any case, in this film figure the clock of time does not seem to exist, which for the rest of mortals is cruel and inevitable.
The gym is another place frequented by the actor, although not with the same intensity. Outdoor exercises that involve movement and dexterity are the foundation and priority for staying fit. For this reason, Gere has practiced dancing since at least 2004, when he participated with Jennifer López in the romantic film “Shall we dance?”, Directed by Peter Chelsom.
Thus, who was once considered "the beautiful man in the world" and "the most beautiful face on the planet" enjoys his days to the fullest with meditation, vegetarianism, and aerobic exercise as bases. Gere participated in more than 30 films throughout his life, and he could do in many more if he wanted to: his body and his integrity allow it more than enough.
In 2017, the S- symbol left some phrases in the form of advice to have a happy and fulfilling life. One of them defines this man perfectly: "Forget about chronological age: it's just a number."
