Ok, so he looked pretty hot in An Officer And A Gentleman but that does not excuse his on-going employment in the business that is show.

This man cannot convey any emotion. I know when he's trying really hard to Do Some Proper Acting, he kindly signposts it by blinking a lot and doing some heavy breathing. Oh Richard, Richard, Richard, the ghost of Laurence Olivier is rolling his eyes at you.

You make Keanu Reeves look like a seasoned Shakespearean thesp.

Also, he's not even that handsome, he looks like the assistant manager at a building society.

Any Gere fans who want to fight his corner?

sean Connery, Sean Connery?! Confused

He looks like he'd need a thirty minute warning to take his Viagra

Oh I wouldn't kick him out of bed gobbo but he is still an arse.
I prefer him as silver fox.

He does a good upper east side man. I liked him in Arbitrage.

That Steve Coogan thing is funny.

Sean Connery would be very impressive I imagine.

Well, NOW he probably does. But at the time they made First Knight, he certainly didn't. He was looking pretty good then.

Oh, are we supposed to consider personality? Gere wouldn't win then either, I suppose. But I was being incredibly shallow and going on looks alone. Blush

I'm just going on pure looks - I don't need any chat from Ricardo.

Graham Norton's a twonk so very eased that Richard has bested him. I now luffs him more

LadyBeagleEyes · 10/08/2013 09:17

According to most people that have interviewed him he is the no 1 rudest sleb of them all and not a nice person at all.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 10/08/2013 09:17

I might order that photo I linked to and stick my head on Debra Winger's.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 10/08/2013 09:18

lady - have any of them had sexy times with him though? He might be the best ever at that

NonnoMum The original Danny in the stage version of Grease was Jeff Conaway, who ended up relegated to being one of Danny's sidekicks in the movie.

FryOneFatManic · 10/08/2013 09:38

And I meant to add that I don't really like Richard Gere, not one of my favourite actors.

squoosh · 10/08/2013 18:57

Thanks LadyBeagleEyes for confirming my suspicions.

I will now happily continue in my dislike of Mr Gere without worrying that I've got him completely wrong.

He's like Tom Cruise - butt fucking ugly and a shit excuse for an actor, too.
