These new photos of Richard Gere

American actor and humanitarian activist, Richard Gere, 68,  was spotted at the beach in Tulum, Mexico, as he enjoyed a relaxing New Year's Day on Monday. He looked a little older than when we last saw him...

The Oscar-winning star who displayed his physique as he went shirtless in a pair of blue shorts was almost wiped out by a large wave, while cooling off in the sea.
Before he stormed the beach, the actor spent the New Year's Eve with his stunning Spanish girlfriend Alejandra Silva, 34, who he has been dating since 2015.
