Richard Gere Offers Condolences to Nepal and Tibet After Deadly Landslides

Richard Gere has publicly expressed his sympathy for the people of Nepal and Tibet after catastrophic mudslides and flash floods along their border, which are believed to have killed at least a thousand people. In a social media post on Thursday, he said his heart is with the affected communities. Gere has maintained close ties to the region for nearly five decades, and his encounters with Tibetan monks in the late 1970s led to his conversion to Tibetan Buddhism.
