I am a tough guy: Richard Gere

“I’m kind of a tough guy at work and I guess because I’m a big shot on set,everyone has to listen to me. But I live with a very strong woman! Believe me,she doesn’t say ‘yes’ very often. I’m the one that says ‘yes’. I say,’Yes,dear.’ I don’t even argue,” Gere said.

Although the Pretty Woman star is now a doting husband and father to 13-year-old son Homer,he reveals he enjoyed his youth in Hollywood and took advantage of all the perks fame had to offer.

“It was all fresh,everything was new. I was 23 years old,a kid,and I was starring in the West End of London in a stage production. This was the early ’70s – a great time where anything was possible. You know,young men – they try this,they try that. It’s the same anywhere. It doesn’t matter where you are,whether it’s Los Angeles or New York or Liverpool. Of course you experiment,” Gere said.
