URichard Gere ukwenzile kwiminyaka engama-30 ephupha. Zimbalwa ezinye iinkwenkwezi ezivela kwixesha lakhe ezazivelisa uhlobo oluthile lwesibheno esithandekayo sesini. Amanye amadoda awabelana ngesondo aphila kwiminyaka ye-90, yithi, uTom Cruise okanye uNick Nolte, uhlala ebonakala engaqhelekanga kwaye ephambene, nangaphambi kokuba sazi ukuba bayaphambana nje. Okwangoku, uRichard Gere wabonakala epholile kwaye engenakoyiswa ngendlela ekhumbuza iinkwenkwezi ezivela kwiGolden Age yaseHollywood-uCary Grant uphuma engqondweni.
Incede into yokuba uMnumzana Gere azinikele ngobomi bakhe kwizizathu ezifanelekileyo. Wayethetha ngokuphandle malunga nokwazisa nge-HIV / AIDs. Ukwakhusele namalungelo ezilwanyana, wathetha nangendlela, Njengabagcini bomhlaba luxanduva lwethu ukujongana nazo zonke iintlobo ngobubele, uthando, nemfesane.

UKUYA okuninzi iikowuti zakhe, okanye ubuncinci iikowuti eziphelelweyo kwi-Intanethi ecaleni komfanekiso wobuso bakhe, kujongwene nokuthatha indlela yoxolo ebomini. Eyona nto yayisengqiqweni; URichard Gere ungumBuddhist owaziwayo ngokuxhoma kunye neDalai Lama kwaye esebenza ukugcina iTibet. Ukuthintela eli rheum lixhaphakileyo malunga negerbil, wayebonakala ngathi unxweme lokuguga ngobuhle nobabalo. Udlale nje utamkhulu omtsha, owabelana ngesondo Ihotele yesiBini eQhelekileyo yaseMarigold.
Kwaye ngoku uyaqhawula umtshato kwaye uzama ukuhlaba iintatheli ngesambrela. Ngokwenene. Isicatshulwa esivela Iphepha lesithandathu Ngo-Okthobha uxele ukuba, ngexesha lokuqhawula umtshato noCarey Lowell, umfazi wakhe oneminyaka eli-12:
Inkqubo ye- Ibhinqa elihle Umdlali weqonga wangena kwigumbi lenkundla laseManhattan ngoLwesine ukuya kwindibano yokuqala kumlo wakhe woqhawulo-mtshato kunye nenkosikazi yakhe kunye nowayesakuba 'yintombazana yeBond' uCarey Lowell-ngelixa wayehlikihla isambrela sakhe kumfoti. UGere-enxibe amaso okucamngca kwisandla sakhe sasekhohlo kwaye ephethe ibhegi ye-canvas ye-orenji evela kumnyhadala womthandazo waseTibet ka-2009 obizwa ngokuba yiKagyu Monlam-wayephethe isambrela esimnyama esifana nekrele.
Ngandlela thile oku kunjalo kumnandi . Kufana nokubukela uMama Teresa engena kumdlalo wokukhwaza nomqhubi weteksi, ngakumbi kuba isixhobo sikaMnu Gere sokuzikhethela sasibubudenge. I-ambulula ayibonakali ikwazi ukwenza umonakalo omkhulu ngaphandle kokuba u-John Steed uyayisebenzisa. Kukho intuthuzelo ngandlela thile ngokwazi ukuba nabantu abanoxolo banokuhamba kancinci xa bejongene nentliziyo ebuhlungu.
Okwangoku, yayisele ingumahluko ocacileyo woqhawulo mtshato oluhle kakhulu kaMnu Gere kunye nowayesakuba ngumfazi wakhe uCindy Crawford kwi1995.

Vula Iklasi eyi-Oprah yeKlasi Ngo-2013, i-supermodel ibanga ukuba uqhawulo-mtshato lwabo lubangelwe sisithuba seminyaka yabo (Mnu. Gere wayeneminyaka engama-37 logama uNks. Wayesathetha ngokufudumeleyo nge-ex yakhe, nangona kunjalo, wathi:
URichard ungumfo okrelekrele kakhulu, kwaye unomdla, kwaye unomdla, kwaye ndifunde okuninzi malunga nehlabathi, utshilo. Kwakuyisahluko esihle ebomini bam.
UCarey Lowell akabonakali ngathi uziva ngendlela efanayo. Esi sibini sitshatile kwi-2002, kwaye uNks. Lowell wathi waqala wenza ukuthanda uMnu Gere akubona Igosa kunye noMnumzana. Nangona kunjalo, ifayile ye- Umthetho kunye noMyalelo inkwenkwezi yayihlala icingelwa ukuba ingaphezulu kwe Ibhinqa elihle Intliziyo. Isibuko semihla ngemihla Qaphela: UCarey uthanda ukuba kwenye indawo kwindawo ebonakalayo. Unobudlelwane kakhulu kwaye nangona eyithanda kakhulu into ayithandayo uRichard uyakuthanda ukuba phakathi kwabantu.
Ngaphandle kokubhala nje umtshato wabo njengesahluko esikhulu ebomini bakhe, UNks Lowell ucela i-100 yezigidi zeedola zikaMnu Gere, eziqikelelwa kwi-250 yezigidi zeedola. Kwakukho nembambano malunga nendlela oluza kwabiwa ngayo ugcino lonyana wabo oneminyaka eyi-15, uHomer, kwaye uNks. xa uhlala noHomer. Umnumzana Gere, ngeli xesha, ususe umfanekiso wakhe kule ncwadana. Kuwo wonke lo mdlalo, uMnu Gere kwathiwa wayethandana Umpheki ophezulu Umamkeli kunye noSalman Rushdie owayesakuba ngumdala, uPadma Lakshmi. Ngeveki ingxelo:
Iqale kutshanje kwaye ithi cwaka, uxelele umthombo Nathi . Intsha kakhulu. Bendingayi nokuya kude ndibabize isibini. Bayajola. Kokokuqala ukuba uPadma athandane nabani na ukusukela kuTeddy [Forstmann], kwaye yinto ebesondela kuyo kakhulu, kakhulu. Baqala ukwazana nje. Bayonwaba nje.

Emva kweenyanga ezintandathu, nangona kunjalo, ubudlelwane babo kunye nolonwabo lwabonakala luphelile. Iindaba ze-FOX zixele ukuba bahlula:
Sixelelwa ukuba esi sibini kutsha nje 'sithathe isigqibo sokuba bazakuba ngcono njengezihlobo,' ngokutsho komthombo, owongeza ukuba bobabini bebexakekile ngumsebenzi.
Zeziphi iindaba ezimnandi ukuba uceba ukudibana neRichard Gere entsha. Ingakumbi kuba ungamfumana enkundleni yamatyala kule nyanga, apho uqhawulo-mtshato wakhe ngethemba lokuba lusondele kwinqanaba lokugqibela (esi sibini sifikelele kwisivumelwano sokugcina, kodwa kusekho umbuzo wokuba ingaba uNks. Lowell uzokufumana i-100 yezigidi zeedola). Iphepha lesithandathu uxele:
Inkqubo ye- Ibhinqa elihle inkwenkwezi yathandana nentatheli kwilifti, iqhula, 'Ufuna ndikunike udliwanondlebe olukhethekileyo, olusondeleyo?'
Yindlela entle ethe ngqo yomntu onabalinganiswa bakhe abaziwa ngokuba ngabafazi ababhabhayo kwii-opera kwizixeko ezahlukeneyo kwaye babaphose kwimidlalo yepolo.

Kukho amathuba okuba isitayile esicocekileyo sikaMnu Gere sinokutshintsha kunye nenqanaba lakhe elinye. Xa inkwenkwana engama-90 uBill Murray yafumana uqhawulo-mtshato yabonwa izula ngamaqela angama-20 eBrooklyn, kwaye isenza into enye engama-20 ekubhekiswa kuyo njengobomi obubi.
Kwimeko apho, uRachel Moheban, ugqirha wengqondo waseManhattan, uxelele uMqwalaseli, Emva koqhawulo-mtshato, amanye amadoda afuna nje ubomi obutsha. Kuvakala ngathi yingxaki yobomi obuphakathi, kodwa andicingi ukuba iyakhathaza. Emva kokutshata ixesha elide, ngamanye amaxesha amadoda athanda ukonwaba kwaye azive ekhululekile.
Nangona oko kubonakala kunqabile kumntu othambekele ekucamngceni ngengqondo. Ngokukodwa ukusukela komnye umthombo INew York Post Esona sizathu siphambili sokwahlukana phakathi kwakhe noNks. Lowell yayikukuba umdlali weBuddhist unqwenela ukuba ngasese, kwaye uLowell uyakuthanda ukuhlala nabanye abantu abakhulu.
Okona kuncinci, uMnu Gere ubonakala ehambisa iimvakalelo zakhe emsebenzini wakhe. Kwifilimu yakhe ezayo Ixesha liphelelwe yingqondo uyakube edlala indoda engenakhaya. Uye waphawula Ijenali yeWall Street ukuba indima yakhe iyamkhumbuza ngomsebenzi wakhe kunye neembacu zaseTibetan kwi ukuba bobabini bazama ukufumana indawo yabo, bezama ukubuyela ekhaya. Okwangoku, uRichard Gere usenokuba uhlala kweli bali mhlawumbi kancinci, kwiubomi bokwenyani, nabo.
