When Gere was Keanu



After watching a few Richard Gere films from the seventies and eighties recently, it's very notable that many of them wouldn't have a plot if Gere's character just kept their dick in their goddamn pants.

Beyond that, what he does remind me of is Keanu Reeves, in that there are some roles where he is absolutely terrible, but in others he's the only possible choice, and it's impossible to imagine anybody else in that role. The combination of smugness, incredibly bland good looks and general swagger, you can see why the man was a born movie star, and why he would drive some viewers crazy.

Hell of a smirk, is what I'm saying. Just keep your dick in your pants, man.
