Richard Gere and his family are moving abroad to get some new experiences.

“It’s time for my wife to be with her family, her friends, her culture,” Gere told Fox News Digital. “And [it’s] good for our kids. I think it’s great to be able to live, not just visit, but live in another culture.”

Gere’s wife of five years is Alejandra Silva, a Spanish-born and raised activist who met the actor years before they began their relationship.

“Our karma was drawn together as soon as we saw each other,” Silva told Hola! in 2015. “I don’t overlook our age difference and what it means to be with a Hollywood star, but when there’s such strong karmic energy, problems just disappear.”

The couple share two children, Alexander and James, as well as a son, Homer, from Gere’s second marriage.

Gere and his family live primarily in New York City, where the “Pretty Woman” star has lived for the past 50 years.

“I will miss my family and friends the most,” said the 75-year-old. “But I have lived in New York or the New York area since I was 21. And that has been a few years. And New York, it gets in your blood. It’s hard to get rid of it, it affects your DNA. But I love Spain too, I love Madrid.”

Gere will also go international in his new series, “The Agency,” premiering November 29 on Paramount+ in association with Showtime.

Adapted from the French TV series, “Le Bureau des Legendes,” the spy thriller stars Michael Fassbender as a secret CIA agent ordered to abandon his secret life and return to London Station. But when the love of his life reappears, their romance is rekindled and his career, identity and mission are put on the line, along with his heart. Gere plays CIA London Director Bosko, Fassbender’s boss and father figure.

“ I wasn’t looking for this. It seemed like they were looking for me,” Gere said.

“I think it’s great to live, not just sightseeing, but living in another culture.”

“It turns out I didn’t know this, but I recently found out that they were actually thinking of me when… they wrote this and were trying to piece it together.”

The original film was also a “dating show” for Gere and his wife, “So when this happened, I thought, let’s look at that script.”

Making the show, which was filmed on location in London, was made easier by Gere and his family spending time in Madrid before the permanent move.

“It was really easy and I love London. [I’ve] got a lot of friends there and my early career was there. I did musicals and plays in the West End and with the Young Vic. And so I’ve got a lot of history around the UK. So I was really happy to be there.”

Gere’s enthusiasm for “The Agency” has landed him in some minor controversy recently.

While appearing on the “Today” show last week with host Savannah Guthrie, the “An Officer and a Gentleman” star gave the middle finger after a preview clip of the show aired.

Guthrie scolded Gere and asked, “What did you just do?” as she tried to cover his middle finger with her stack of papers.

“Oh sorry… but that’s what I did in that video,” Gere said, referring to the clip that had just ended, adding, “I didn’t realize I was on camera.”

But Gere meant no harm by the unintentional gesture, telling Fox News Digital that the act was “extremely innocent.”

“It was so stupid because they showed a clip that said the button in the clip was [gesture],” he explained. “And they blacked [it] out. So I was like, this clip doesn’t make any sense. And I don’t even know what I’m doing.”
