Take the popcorn or rather the large marshmallow chamallows from the cupboard: M6 rerun Pretty woman, Monday, June 22, to celebrate the return of summer. The opportunity to see that this feature film, which we like to see and see again, has not aged. Just like its two main actors, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, whose immediate complicity transpired throughout the shooting. Besides, without this alchemy, romantic comedy could have turned into drama, as it was originally discussed. And if the two movie stars form one of the leading Hollywood couples on the scene, the charming billionaire and the dapper prostitute have been apart since the film's release in 1990.
However, a few weeks after the launch of Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts canceled her marriage to Kiefer Sutherland three days before the ceremony. Not for the beautiful eyes of his partner but to run away with a friend of his companion. But love stability has won her since she met Daniel Moder, director of American photography, whom she married on July 4, 2002. Together they had three children: two false twins, Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter (born November 28, 2004), and a boy, Henry Daniel (born June 18, 2007). A tidy mom's life which she erects in priority, even if it means refusing roles in the cinema.
Richard Gere, again dad at 70
Richard Gere hates him Pretty woman, "the movie I like the least." Much less women, with whom he has known many idylls, including the ultra-publicized with Cindy Crawford. But it was ultimately with Alejandra Silva, a Spanish advertiser and businesswoman, 34 years younger, that "the sexiest living man (1999)" has found its balance. This leading activist has shared the life of the actor since June 2015, told her "Yes" in April 2018 and has just given birth to their second child together. A happy news for the lovers, a less good for the faller of these ladies.
