RICHARD GERE

America’s favorite leading man back in the nineties was no other than Richard Gere himself. Not a lot of people know about this, but the sought-after actor was once taking up a degree in philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, thanks to his gymnastics scholarship. However, he really did fall in love with acting.

Richard’s first major role was for the 1973 original London stage version of Grease. In 1999, he was labeled as the Sexiest Man Alive. Not to mention, he is a two-time Academy Award winner. Some of his most notable movies were Internal Affairs, Sommersby, and Primal Fear. However, his most popular romantic flick will have to be the commercial success, Pretty Woman. In fact, chemistry with Julia Roberts was so strong that they worked together on another film called Runaway Bride. Richard is now 71 years old, and he is aging gracefully with his whopping $120 million net worth.
