Richard Gere – China
One of Hollywood’s most adored performers, Richard Gere is best known for his work in the films like “Chicago,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Brooklyn’s Finest.” Although he keeps a low profile, he still has a following of devoted fans who value his work. However, there was a time when Gere was unwelcome both at the Oscars and in China.
