He's also spoken out for Palestine for many years! I'm glad you wrote about this. It harkens to the persistent "she's difficult" accusations leveled against women actors — those campaigns of career sabotage waged by studio heads.
Wowww I learned a lot about Richard Gere reading your post about this (wild!!!!!) urban legend, and am shocked how much he looks like Randy Gerber on that Vogue cover with Cindy Crawford — also totally forgot they were married! What a deep dive. Excellent work!
Add to everything above the stints performing at the Provincetown Playhouse in the late 60s, and that he might have had an earring in a certain ear (yes, a thing). Oh yeah, he was also a scholarship gymnast in college. His attractiveness was different than what American women were told to be attracted to. He was long (5'10") and lithe, more like Timothy Olyphant (Hi Pajibians) than Sylvester Stallone. He was a bit androgynous, soft, and could "get it." I wish I could have seen him walking down Commercial Street in Ptown in '69.
I've occasionally wondered about the veracity of the story that someone would stick a rodent up their butt, but on the June 20 episode of Armchair Anonymous (one of Dax Shephard's podcasts) a nurse calls in with a story of a gerbil up someone's butt. I believe it was a gerbil plus a piece of PVC pipe. The pipe came out. The gerbil did not. Hence the need for a visit to an emergency room. Fun times!
And here I thought publicly standing up for what you believe is right, especially if it makes you unpopular, was the opposite of “wimpy”. I would dare say that a guy who does this is a “real man”.
