Julia Roberts and Gere are well-known from their roles in the popular 1990 romantic comedy “Pretty Woman.” One of the movie’s most notable scenes was when Roberts’s character, Vivian, a sex worker, entered the Venezia Tennis Club while Gere’s character, Edward, a wealthy businessman, was playing the piano.

This sparked an intense conversation during which Edward took off Vivian’s clothes and placed her on the piano, examining her body as they had a private time. He openly expressed his thoughts regarding that scene years later.

Above all, it was fortunate that I wasn’t a model or an actor. That has never piqued my attention. Our shared dedication to Buddhism and the Tibetan people, as well as our desire to assist those in need, are what have most brought us together,” she continued.

Applause erupted when Gere watched a clip from the film with great attention. “This is so emotional for me to see — this is my first film and […] I don’t think I’ve seen this probably in 30/40 years,” Gere said. I’m observing my son over here, and I believe I was 26 or 27 years old when we shot that movie.”

Then, pointing to Homer’s spot in the audience, Gere motioned for him to get up so that everyone could see him. “I think I was only a little bit older than him and he’s starting his career as an actor now and he’s really good,” Gere said as Homer acknowledged the applauding crowd. He is quite talented.”
