Richard Gere is what?!?!?!?!
dfsgt
is like 1/4 asian? No way. He's the last one I would've thought would
be part asian. Next thing you know we'll find out that that big dude in
The Green Mile is part asian. And hey, why is it that these part-asian
actors never ever seem to mention their asianess? Jennifer Tilly and
Keanu Reeves comes to mind. You gotta hire psycics just to figgure that
stuff out. I'm still flabbergasted.

There are lot of Actors and Actresses that don't mention their ethnic mixes
probably because it's embarrassing for them to be seen as "mutts". Also, it
could be because of the advise they get from their Publicists on what to say
to the general public, which 75% of the time would most likely be on topics
that have nothing to do with their ethnicity. Though, I do applaud those who
take the time to mention it as an aside and to those interviewers who bother
to ask the question.
I'll bet if fans asked for more info on their heritages, then we wouldn't be
in the dark most of the time. Instead, fans usually inquire about their sex
lifes, what's your favorite color and other stupid shit only kids want to
know.

1) That doesn't mean he has a "thing" for anyone. He was with Cindy

Actually, it's not the first Asian woman he's dated. From what I've
read, he has had several over the years. And how do you know he
doesn't have a "thing" for moles? He just might, you have no clue.

Just because he made a movie with Bai Liang doesn't mean it was her
he dated. He also starred in a film with Bruce Willis, but that doesn't
mean he dated him or shared girbels with him.

Only an idiot would believe that stupid, silly rumor that originated in
a tabloid newspaper (Star?), only later to be withdrawn under
threat of legal action. The story was removed, it affects live on...
Maybe the Chinese communist government started it.

Actually, I do, and I follow entertainment news quite closely. This is as
opposed to those people (like, say, you?) who might only follow what they
see on Entertainment Tonight or read in GQ. So, again, your "knowledge"
based on non-existent facts rings faulty.

So, in that case, could you please name these women? I thought that
"anyone who followed entertainment news" would know this type of common
knowledge. Or, maybe you are just wrong and jumped to conclusions based
on nothing more than your own projections.

Everyone says Richard Gere is gay, but they are probably wrong. Kind of
like with Keanu Reeves, whom everyone used to say was gay, but he isn't
(especially with Carrie-Ann Moss on his arm).
Kevin Spacey really is very gay, though.

That's not true.... like I said, I read this in numerous reputable
magazines. Also,
and more importantly, I know friends of mine who work in Manhattan who
have seen Gere with various AF babes at local bars and restaurants. And,
he was *all* over them, according to my friends, who have no reason to
make it up.

What's wrong with either of those two media sources? I've never heard
anybody claim that either was a "faulty" source of entertainment news.
But actually, neither were my source.

Name them. Name the women, too. The thing is, anyone could say, "hey, I
heard this somewhere from someone...not sure where or from whom, but I
think it was credible." It goes a lot longer ways to actually state the
particulars.
I'm not saying you are wrong. What I'm saying is that no one can really
be sure based on vagaries.

he has Chinese blood on one of the night TV talk shows
long before the movie "Speed".
But I remember the audience paused a little when he said
Chinese (probably he doesn't look like one).
When the host (I forget) asked his ethic background,
he said such, such, such and Chinese.
Although he is not my favorite actor, I do admire him
for saying that.

Actually, and I don't know whether this validates it or not, but
Gere played a small role in an Akira Kurosawa film made around '94-'95
as a half-Japanese, American-born relative of a family who lived in the
rural outskirts of Nagasaki; the film took place in the modern day and
dealt with how different generations of the family were affected by the
atomic bomb.
To summarize, two pairs of cousins stay with their grandmother while
their parents vacation in Hawaii. They learn about their grandmother's
a-bomb experiences. Gere's character visits from Hawaii on an emergency
visit.
I did see the movie, I honestly forgot the title, but it was a Japanese
film and yes, Gere's lines were in Japanese.

I remember that movie. Wasn't it "Rhapsody in August" or the Kurosawa

I just remember that it was boring and it sucked.
