Richard Gere, 76, spotted filming scenes in New York for age-gap romance with 28-year-old

Richard Gere was spotted filming his latest film, an unconventional romance.

The 76-year-old Hollywood icon and Diana Silvers, 28, star in Edward Zwick’s adaptation of Lisa Halliday’s critically acclaimed novel Asymmetry, which explores the love story between a 70-year-old author and a young editorial assistant. On Monday, July 13, the pair was seen filming on set in New York City.

For the scene they filmed, Gere, who once called President Donald Trump a “bully” and a “thug,” donned a dark grey suit jacket over a forest-green button-down shirt, dark pants, and sunglasses. Meanwhile, his co-star wore a grey tank top, a yellow sweater tied around her shoulders, a black shirt, and loafers while carrying a large black bag.

In various snaps, Gere smiled on the beautiful day. He seemed to be in character as he flashed his grin toward Silvers. The pair was also spotted filming in New York City’s Riverside Park on Thursday, July 2.

In a photo, the actors were sitting on a bench, laughing, in a scene that marks the first time Gere’s Ezra and Silvers’ Alice meet in Central Park.

The Pretty Woman star and the Booksmart actress play a famous author and a young editorial assistant, respectively, who fall in love and embark on a secret relationship.

“Their one moment of eye contact sparks a connection that leads them both down a life-changing rabbit hole, where they create a private world just for two,” the film’s synopsis reads.

“Ezra, famous for his audacious work, finds someone with whom he can be openly vulnerable, and Alice finds the courage to explore her own aspirations as a writer. Until it is all put at risk when their secret relationship is exposed.”

After its 2018 release, Halliday’s debut novel landed on The New York Times’ most remarkable books of the 21st century list. Its adaptation comes from Oscar-winning director Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai).

Zwick, who is returning to feature films for the first time in eight years, also penned the script with Halliday and Marshall Herskovitz.”It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with Ed and Marshall on transposing Alice and Ezra’s story for the screen,” Halliday said in a press release about adapting the script. “I am enormously grateful to them for their humor, ingenuity, courage, compassion, and dedication.”
