Happy Birthday to Richard Gere—the original Officer, eternal Gentleman and forever the smooth-talking charmer who still makes climbing fire escapes look effortless! Decades later, your iconic moments from carrying Debra Winger in "An Officer and a Gentleman" to rescuing Julia Roberts (and her shopping bags) in "Pretty Woman," remain timeless—proving that chivalry never goes out of style.Whether you’re dazzling us with silver-screen elegance or advocating passionately for humanitarian causes today, you've taught everyone what class truly means. We hope today's celebration includes plenty of smiles wider than Vivian Ward's famous laugh—and may no one ever put Baby—or more importantly—you—in a corner!
