Richard Gere became the undisputed star of the red carpet at the 81st International Venice Film Festival, organised by La Biennale di Venezia and running from 28 August to 7 September 2024. Film premieres attract not only media attention but also the actors themselves. The 75-year-old Gere publicly showed affection for his 41-year-old wife, Alejandra Silva, dropping to his knees in front of her without hesitation.
The couple's appearance at the premiere of the new AppleTV+ film "Wolfs," featuring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, became one of the most talked-about moments of the festival. Richard Gere, without holding back his affection, was literally left speechless at the sight of his wife and dropped to his knees. Their shared photos quickly circulated the globe.
Alejandra Silva, who married the famous actor in 2018, drew attention with an elegant white dress with a high slit. The couple, who have two sons, Alexander and James, wrote a new chapter of their love story on the Venetian red carpet.
Besides film premieres and galas, Richard and Alejandra also attended the amfAR gala. Numerous stars supported the amfAR foundation, which is dedicated to AIDS research. Since 1985, it has granted over 3,800 grants worldwide.
