Actors! According to Dealbreaker’s Bess Levin: Several weeks back, Michael Douglas appeared in a public service announcement shot by the FBI, in which he tells people that while they may have been taken by his character in Wall Street, that it’s important to remember that that was just a movie and in real life, insider trading is wrong and everyone must be vigilant to report any wrongdoing they observe on the job, especially after the shit we went through in ’08. Next up among actors who think roles they portrayed on the big screen contributed to the financial crisis is Richard Gere. Glamorizing being a corporate raider who made enough money to buy a hooker is his personal cross to bear.
It was the modern-day fairytale that captivated hundreds of millions of film fans the world over. But it seems Pretty Woman holds nothing but regrets for its leading man, Richard Gere. While promoting his new financial thriller Arbitrage recently, the 62-year-old shared his scorn for the feelgood 1990 chick flick, telling Woman’s Day, “It’s my least favourite thing.”
