Richard Gere, the 75-year-old American actor, called US President Donald Trump a “bully” and a “thug” on Saturday during an awards ceremony in Spain. According to Richard Gere, the country was in a “very dark place.”
At Spain’s top film honours, Richard Gere was honoured with International Goya Award. At the event, Richard Gere warned that authoritarianism is on the rise “everywhere”.
Richard Gere said, “We’re in a very dark place in America, where we have a bully, a thug, who’s the president of the United States. But it’s not just in the US, it’s everywhere,” adding, he noted, “Authoritarianism takes us all over,” Hindustan Times reported.
Sceptical of the 47th US President, the Pretty Woman and American Gigolo actor seemed highly critical of Donald Trump during a press conference in Granada on Friday.
