The American actor and Alejandra Silva met in an Italian hotel in 2014 and fell in love almost instantly. The couple has two children, ages five and four, who join the one she had, who is 11, and the one he had with actress Carey Lowell, Homer, who is 24.

Together they live in New York, where he moved to escape the noise of Hollywood. Until now… when he himself confirms that the family is moving to Spain. The conversation between the director of the publication, Alberto Moreno, and the couple took place via video call and is illustrated by photographs taken there, in the American city.

But not everything is love for Spain. This great step that the interpreter takes ‘Officer and Gentleman’ It is also to escape from that Hollywood with which he no longer identifies: “When I hear the word Hollywood, the first thing I think is that it is something very foreign to me. I haven’t lived in California in a quarter of a century nor have I filmed a movie in Los Angeles during that period. Lately, I tend to work on very independent films, and I also have a 24-year-old son who I didn’t want to be away from. That’s why I’ve stayed in New York.”
