When 73-year-old Richard Gere planned a trip to the sea with his wife Alejandra Silva and children, he, of course, had no idea what this trip would turn out for their family.
As it became known, for him personally, this trip ended in the hospital under a dropper. This was reported by the publication express.co.uk.
The trip to Mexico was conceived by Gere to celebrate his wife’s birthday there.
After all, Alejandra, who is more than 30 years younger than her husband, turned 40 this year.
Even before the flight to the resting place, Richard began to cough a little, but the actor decided not to pay attention to it.
However, when they arrived at the place, Gere began to feel worse and worse. He was shaken by coughing fits, and when the temperature rose, Alejandra insisted on hospitalization.
At the hospital where Richard was taken, the doctors immediately diagnosed him with pneumonia, which is a serious enough disease for anyone, and even more serious after 70 years.
Fortunately, the treatment was not started too late, and after a course of strong antibiotics Gere got better. Now, as reported by Alejandra, he is already recovering.
However, the actor’s illness was not the only nuisance that spoiled the rest. Apparently, Richard’s illness was infectious, so after him both Silva and their children fell ill.
However, both Alejandra and both sons of the actor were ill in a much milder form.
