Richard Gere said that before he was famous, “Going out was impossible… you could not go to restaurants. As a young actor I ate hotdog omelets.”
Richard Gere has been a household name since his breakout role in the racy 1980 film, “American Gigolo,” but his early days in New York weren’t so glamorous.
The star also said, “I was starving during the ’70s as an actor just at the start of my career, just trying to making it. I was lucky enough to work, but there weren’t many actors making any money back then. I was doing Broadway for the first time. I actually did off-Broadway, then off-off- Broadway.”
He further recalled that as an actor at the time: “In New York nobody made any money. Unfortunately, hungry was a normalcy.”
