What happened to Richard Gere?
The once American Gigolo, Richard Gere is getting old. Gere arrives with wife Carey Lowell at the premiere of his new film “The Hunting Party” at Paris theater in New York City.
Richard Gere was so frekking hot playing Julian in American Gigolo back in 1980. Gere still looks amazingly charming and charismatic for his age. Don’t forget he turns 58 next week. I have to say he’s aged very gracefully but he was one of the hottest men in Tinseltown. I guess when people say “age” is just a number, they are talking nonsense.
