A rom-com icon! Richard Gere’s career skyrocketed in the ’80s with his breakout role in American Gigolo and he has since become a critically acclaimed actor over five decades.
The actor was born in 1949 in Philadelphia, but was raised mainly in Syracuse, New York. After dropping out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Gere went on to land his first major acting role in the original London stage version of Grease in 1973.
After transitioning to film in the mid-70s, the Unfaithful actor had his breakout role in 1980’s American Gigolo. Two years later, he starred in An Officer and A Gentleman, which went on to win two Academy Awards.
“Like a lot of things, it was timing,” Gere told Interview magazine in 2012 when asked why he thought An Officer and A Gentleman had so much success. “[My 1979 film] Yanks was a very good picture in the realm of An Officer and a Gentleman. But the timing was wrong; the studio didn’t believe in it – it was dumped by the studio. Paramount happened to believe in An Officer and A Gentleman and pushed it. Word of mouth was good. People enjoy seeing a people movie.”
In 1990, Gere really established himself as a leading man thanks to the rom-com Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts. The two later reunited in the 1999 romantic comedy Runaway Bride.
“[I still talk to Julia Roberts] all the time. I spoke to her three or four times a day,” Gere explained to Entertainment Tonight in April 2017. “I would call her right now.”
Throughout the years, Gere has had many high-profile relationships, including his marriage to Cindy Crawford from 1991 to 1995. Years later, the model called her marriage to the actor a “great chapter” in her life, explaining that their big age gap caused issues in their relationship.

Naman Ramachandran For a solid decade, the U.K. contributed some of the most iconic floppy-haired lotharios, airport dashes and front-door confessions in romcom history. Films such as “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (1994), “Notting Hill” (1999) and “Love Actually” (2003) basically invented such hallmarks of the genre. But in the last decade, the global-facing British romcom has all but disappeared from cinemas. Richard Curtis, the brains behind the aforementioned hits as well as the “Bridget Jones” adaptations, says the heavy lifting keeping romcoms alive has largely been carried out in the television ranks. The writer cites examples such as the BBC’s “Gavin & Stacey” and “Fleabag” and Channel 4’s “Catastrophe” as “blazing examples.”
