Hollywood Hearthrob To Receive Goya Award ⋆ Madrid Metropolitan


The Spanish Film Academy has chosen awarded the 2025 International Goya to veteran Hollywood star, Richard Gere, in recognition of his enormous contribution to the film industry in a career spanning over 40 years.

The American actor and film producer will attend the gala at the Palacio de Congresos in Granada on 7th February where he will collect the award “for his extraordinary contribution to the art of film, starring in some of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, and for his commitment to social matters both personally and professionally,”

Over 30 years ago this actor founded the Gere Foundation to channel his intense activism in favour of Tibetan autonomy and the preservation of Tibetan culture as championed by the Dalai Lama. Gere has practised Buddhism since he was 20 years old. His foundation also allows him to support the rights of other indigenous peoples, refugees and the homeless. His deep commitment to these causes transcends borders and has led him to collaborate, among others, with the NGOs Survival International, Open Arms and Hogar Sí. The actor is also a strong advocate of environmental protection and through his foundation supports an ambitious nature conservation project in Mexico called Sierra a Mar.

The world-renowned, committed American actor and film producer who this year also moved to Spain with his Spanish born wife will be honoured with the fourth International Goya ever given and will receive it in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of his debut on the big screen.

Following in the footsteps of previous award winners Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche and Sigourney Weaver, the Spanish Film Academy will now honour one of the most charismatic and committed actors in the film industry.

Previous Hollywood recipients have included Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche and Sigourney Weaver.
