While taking refuge at \u201cBellevue Hospital,\u201d 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 \u201cTime Out of Mind.\u201d 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, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have recognized him.\u201d One more person said, \u201cWhoa! He was in the old film \u201cPretty Woman,\u201d as I recall.\u201d 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.\u201cAmazing. However, I\u2019m not surprised. For you, that\u2019s New York City. However, it\u2019s depressing. Really sad! \u201c, a Facebook reader wrote. Another person expressed a similar opinion by saying, \u201cOMG\u2026if [it\u2019s] true\u00a0\"\ud83d\ude14\".\u201d I\u2019m not sure what Hollywood is doing to these people, but it\u2019s really terrible\u00a0\"\ud83d\ude22\".\u201d Another person praised Gere\u2019s actions, saying, \u201cAmazing. I\u2019m 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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. \u201cWhat\u2019s in the bag?\u201d Gere enquired as he approached the \u201cUnfaithful\u201d 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, \u201cI said, \u2018Je suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9e [I am sorry], but the pizza is cold.\u201d \u201c\u2018Thank you so much,\u2019 he said. God bless you,\u201d 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,\u201d she had earlier exclaimed.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
