In his youth he studied philosophy and drama at the University of Massachusetts. His first appearance on the show was shortly after, when he intervened with a short role in the “Princetown Paly House“And in the”Seattle Repertory Theater”.
But despite having taken his first steps in acting, Gere still had a passion for music, so he formed a band. Unfortunately he did it without major importance and this led him back to the theater, but this time to Broadway. He worked on several works there, among which the musical stands out “Grease“with whom he traveled to London.
On 1976 debuts on the big screen with “Heaven days“, awarded an Oscar in the category of best photography. Although the first films were not of high quality, they helped him to gradually make his space among the female audience that was beginning to assimilate him as the ideal of a romantic star.
“American gigolo“would arrive in 1980, and a couple of years later I would “Officer and gentleman“, a movie that seemed to be made especially for Richard.
Later I would roll “Breathless“, the re-make of the film by Godard Y Francis Ford Coppola gave him a role in “Cotton club” on 1990, a film that would not have the expected success, and would be kept in the director’s closet of failures.
But without a doubt his definitive success and his consecration as a sex symbol, thanks to the film “Pretty woman” on 1990, where he worked alongside Julia Roberts.
He was married to the model Cindy crawford but the marriage was dissolved several years ago, in nineteen ninety five.
From a young age he has been known to transform himself into one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood, and through the years, already crossing his maturity period, he continues to honor the fame of sex symbol that he garnered throughout his career.
