Richard Gere suprised journalists in Tokyo recently, when he spoke out in support of the arms ban against China. "I so agree with your prime minister that the European Union should not remove the ban against selling arms to China," he said. "I agree with him totally." It was the last thing that journalists were expecting to hear at the press conference to promote his film, Shall We Dance, a romantic comedy also starring Jennifer Lopez. The film is actually a remake of a successful Japanese film, about a man in his fifties who becomes tired of his routine life. The actor is well-known for his political outbursts, having previously spoken out against the war in Iraq, and in favour of the Dalai Lama. |
