Richard Gere Spills 'Pretty Woman' Secrets: The Untold Piano Scene

A Trip Down Memory Lane

At the recent Venice Film Festival, Richard Gere, now 75, took a nostalgic journey back to his iconic role in the 1990 classic "Pretty Woman." The film, which skyrocketed both Gere and Julia Roberts to stardom, remains a beloved romantic comedy decades later. Fans were eager to hear behind-the-scenes stories from the set, and Gere did not disappoint.

The Unscripted Magic

One of the film's most memorable moments is the intimate piano scene between Gere's character, Edward Lewis, and Roberts' Vivian Ward. Surprisingly, Gere revealed that this steamy encounter was never part of the original script. He shared that director Garry Marshall approached him with a simple question: "What do you do late at night in a hotel?" Gere responded, "Well, I'm usually jet lagged.

.. So I'm up all night and usually there's a ballroom somewhere or a bar, and I'll find a piano and I'll play the piano." Marshall seized the opportunity, suggesting they incorporate this into the film. The result was an improvised scene that added depth to Edward's character and became integral to the movie's charm.
