Richard Gere
Never shy to voice his opinion, Richard Gere spoke out against the Chinese government and what he stated is their occupation of Tibet. He was firm in his support for the Tibet independence movement and this really angered a lot of officials back in Beijing. So much so that he was banned for life.
At least now Richard Gere can join fellow actor Harrison Ford in banishment. Maybe they can start a club together named ‘famous people blocked from entering China. We are sure there are some cool characters who would love to be members. After all, when you are famous and have influence, it’s not that difficult to get banned from this country with a few words or actions.
