Following that, he co-starred with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (1990) which made him one of the most bankable movie stars in the '90s. #RichardGere

He took it to Debbie Harry, the singer for Blondie. Debbie liked the tune but hated his lyrics so she took it home and wrote the words you hear here

neutral · AI labelView post →AMERICAN GIGOLO was a movie that I didn’t expect too much from, but it’s a lot more intense & captivating than I expected it to be with Richard Gere giving one of the most underrated performances in movies. Loved the slow burn of the storytelling & the nuances of Gere’s character. #FilmSky #Moviesky
