Richard Gere opens up to Wion in rare and powerful new interview
MUMBAI: In a world short on substance and long on noise, leave it to Richard Gere to centre the conversation, not on celebrity, but on compassion. The global film icon sits down with Wion for an unmissable interview airing this Saturday, 26 july at 7:30 pm IST, with repeat telecasts on Sunday, 27 July at 8:00 AM and 2:30 pm IST. Forget red carpets and glitzy premieres. This one’s about red robes, resistance, and the resilience of a people. Gere opens up to Wion’s Molly Gambhir in a conversation that spans decades of spiritual discovery, activism for Tibet, and the moral compass that’s kept him grounded in the midst of stardom.
From his first encounter with His Holiness the Dalai Lama to championing Tibetan freedom on the world stage, Gere’s words are a masterclass in mindful living. “Spirituality isn’t something you wear, it’s how you move through the world,” he reflects in the episode, part of Wion’s signature series The Interview.
He reminisces about monsoon evenings in Tibetan homes and dives into personal stories rarely shared of navigating Hollywood with intent, of standing firm in his beliefs when it wasn’t fashionable, and of advocating for truth even when it came at a cost.
The special also serves as a deeper call to action. “In an age of distraction, we need moral clarity,” says Wion managing editor Rabin Sharma. “This isn’t just an interview. It’s a mirror held up to a world in flux and Gere’s voice cuts through the clutter with startling grace and honesty.”
As the conversation shifts from spiritual identity to global solidarity, Gere champions the voices of those often ignored. His compassion doesn’t preach, it pulses with authenticity. Whether you’re tuning in for his thoughts on Tibetan freedom or just seeking a rare moment of calm wisdom, this is one interview you won’t want to miss.
