Richard Gere’s quiet life

Richard Gere has found the "quiet life" he was after.

The ‘Pretty Woman’ star is thrilled to have his girlfriend Alejandra Silva, 33, beside him and is very content with his life.

He told HOLA! magazine: "I’ve found the quiet and happy life I always looked for."

Speaking of the Porcelanosa party held at Windsor Castle and hosted by Prince Charles, Alejandra added: "I felt like a princess, I was having dinner right next to the Prince. I won’t ever forget it."

Meanwhile, the 66-year-old star previously admitted he thinks society is "too selfish".

He said: "Housing is the most important thing in bringing anyone back into society. It’s that sense of self … that I’lI exist and have some importance to people around me. I’m saddened that we’re all too selfish to help each other as much as we should …

"I’ve been living in New York since I was 20. We all have our homeless people on our block. Then they disappear and who knows what happens to them. It’s a wide variety of issues. It’s not just mental illness … But people tend to be seen monolithically. That’s one of the failures of the social services, where people think one size fits all. There’s an infinite number of stories that lead people to being on the street."

And Richard also recently admitted he feels like he’s in his 20s rather than his 60’s.

He said: "I feel like I’m 26 years old – except when I look in the mirror and see a man who is in his 60s with white hair and wrinkles. But it doesn’t feel that strange.

"You have to accept all phases of life and appreciate that you improve with age spiritually and on so many other levels, even though your body may be wearing down. But so far I haven’t fallen apart."
