Hello all. I've been woken from a Nosferatu-esque sleep, called out of the void of my cigarette summer haze by this very photo. Richard Gere, 76, was spotted getting close with his much younger co-star, 28-year-old Diana Silvers, while filming their new romantic drama, Asymmetry. And I'm not kidding you the very moment I sat down at this café to write this article, an old British man with a gold watch asked me if I was “a local” to which I smiled at him and pretended I was a swedish exchange student. “Jag älskar svenska köttbullar.”

Maybe he peered at my screen, saw this photo, and thought, Huh, I'll shoot my shot. This could be us, babe.
