Richard Gere spotted filming romance scene for new movie based on novel

Richard Gere has been spotted filming scenes for a new movie based on Lisa Halliday's 2018 novel "Asymmetry." The film delves into complex relationships, drawing parallels with the novel, which itself was inspired by Halliday's youthful romantic involvement with the much older author Philip Roth. Gere, currently married to publicist Alejandra Silva, who is significantly younger than him, was seen filming a scene with actress D. Silvers. Her age is notably closer to that of Gere's son, Homer, who also recently secured a role in Ryan Murphy's new series "The Shards." The scene depicted Gere and Silvers' characters enjoying ice cream on a park bench, a moment that likely signifies the beginning of their on-screen love story, echoing a scene in the novel set in Central Park. Edward Zwick, an Oscar winner for producing "Shakespeare in Love," is directing the film adaptation. Zwick's directorial credits include romantic comedies like "About Last Night" and acclaimed dramas such as "Legends of the Fall" and "The Last Samurai." Gere and Silva, who married in 2018, have two young sons. Their relationship began in 2015, with both divorcing their previous spouses that year. Silva has spoken about their connection, attributing it to a strong karmic energy that transcends their age difference, a factor she acknowledges but states becomes less significant due to their bond. Gere's first marriage was to supermodel Cindy Crawford.

Our karma brought us together, because we knew each other in many previous lives, at least it seems so to us.
