Actor Richard Gere was hospitalized in Mexico with pneumonia, an individual with knowledge confirmed to TheWrap Saturday.
It’s unclear when he was admitted this week, but he’s currently in recovery.
Gere was on vacation with his family, celebrating his wife Alejandra Silva’s 40th birthday near Nuevo Vallarta when the actor became ill.
TMZ first reported Gere’s illness.
The 73-year-old actor reportedly had a bad cough leading up to their trip to Mexico. Gere’s cough got worse while in Mexico, and he checked into the hospital, where he learned he had pneumonia.
A recent Instagram story post by Silva, shows the family walking with their son and Gere is seen wearing a mask. Other posts made by Silva confirm that the family has been under the weather for quite a while.
On Thursday, Silva thanked everyone for wishing her a happy birthday. In the caption, she said, “after almost 3 weeks of everyone being sick in our family today finally I feel much better! Thank you for all the love ❤️ I give it all back to you!
