Fans Stunned after Realizing Homeless Man in These Pics Is Richard Gere: ‘I Wouldn’t Have Recognized Him’ The public is seeing more old photos of Richard Gere in a hobo outfit.

Many people are taken aback years later when they realize who the star was who supported the nice deed of a stranger.

Hollywood legend Richard Gere,74, has portrayed a number of characters that demonstrate the breadth of the actor’s abilities. 2014 saw him transition into homelessness in one of these roles.

Many people were unaware at the time that it was for a movie, much less that it was starring Gere.

 The ancient media depicting him in persona still surprises our AmoMama readers years later. While strolling around New York City’s streets, Gere was utterly unidentifiable to the general population. “No one looked at me for more than forty minutes. I was in one of New York’s busiest areas. Richard Gere once said, “I wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds if I had been there.”The “Runaway Bride” actress can be seen wearing an olive-colored pair of slacks, a long-sleeved blouse, a beige scarf, and a charcoal beanie in a number of photos.

In certain photos, Gere was also seen sitting close to actor Ben Vereen, who portrayed a different homeless man in the film. Gere also had on a slightly soiled raincoat.Further media depicts the actor carrying plastic bags while strolling around. During the movie’s filming, a few bystanders observed Gere walking past them in these pictures. At the time, most people were unaware that Gere was portraying George, a dad who wished to mend his damaged connection with his daughter Maggie, portrayed by actress Jena Malone.

While taking refuge at “Bellevue Hospital,” a shelter for homeless men, George befriends a fellow patient who assists him in attempting to mend his relationship with his daughter. This role was portrayed by Gere in the film “Time Out of Mind.” Even years after his name was made public, AmoMama readers who have watched our most recent throwback post of the famous moment are still in disbelief that the homeless man was really Gere. One reader said, “I wouldn’t have recognized him.” One more person said, “Whoa! He was in the old film “Pretty Woman,” as I recall.” Many people expressed their amazement as well as their observation that Gere brought attention to the severity of homelessness issues in society by playing George.“Amazing. However, I’m not surprised. For you, that’s New York City. However, it’s depressing. Really sad! “, a Facebook reader wrote. Another person expressed a similar opinion by saying, “OMG…if [it’s] true .” I’m not sure what Hollywood is doing to these people, but it’s really terrible .” Another person praised Gere’s actions, saying, “Amazing. I’m happy he took the time to examine OUR SOCIETY. When the film was still being made and people still thought of Gere as just another homeless man living on the streets, a kind-hearted French mother noticed him and handed him food.Karine Gombeau, traveling from Paris to New York with her family, saw Gere going through a trash can close to Grand Central Terminal, not realizing that he was an actor playing a homeless man for the movie.

Feeling devastated by what she seen, Gombeau chose to provide Gere some of the remaining pieces of a large pizza that she, her spouse, and their child had placed an order for at an Italian restaurant. “What’s in the bag?” Gere enquired as he approached the “Unfaithful” talent holding the pizza.Gombeau remembers attempting to reply in English but ultimately responding in a combination of English and French, her mother tongue. The French visitor admitted, “I said, ‘Je suis désolée [I am sorry], but the pizza is cold.” “‘Thank you so much,’ he said. God bless you,” Gombeau continued.Two days later, Gombeau found out that Gere was merely playing the homeless persona when she got a story copy of her good deed, written by The Post. She claimed that the item was given to her by a staff member of the Salisbury Hotel, where she was staying at the time.To her astonishment, Gombeau discovered a picture of herself with Richard Gere within the piece. It was enchanted. This story is absurd. That something like this to occur is unbelievable,” she had earlier exclaimed.
