Veteran Hollywood actor Richard Gere has officially withdrawn from the Oscars 2025 list. This decision was taken right after billionaire Elon Musk revealed the controversial information about him. The incident quickly became the focus of international media, increasing many speculations about the real reason behind this unexpected decision.
According to close sources, Richard Gere was originally considered a bright candidate for the best actor category with the role of a resonant work. However, after Elon Musk published a series of posts on social networks, revealing information related to the actor’s private life and career, Gere made the decision to withdraw from the race. Although there was no official response from his side, analysts said that public and media pressure may have contributed to this option.
This event quickly attracted public attention, raising questions about Elon Musk’s influence in the entertainment industry. The billionaire techie has long been known for his controversial statements on social media, not hesitating to express his views on political and economic issues and now the film industry. The fact that he publicly criticized Richard Gere sparked mixed opinions, some thought it was an unnecessary intervention in art, while others believed what Musk could help the public could help the public.
