Richard Gere reacts to his son Homer’s growing acting career

In his interview with PEOPLE, Richard Gere opened up about his son Homer’s acting career. “I’m proud of him on two levels,” Gere stated. The 76-year-old continued, “One, he’s really good. He really kind of preternaturally knows what he’s doing. But he’s also handling it really well.” The American Gigolo star added, “He’s a good kid. He’s a really good young man who kind of gets it, and this is not an easy job. Not everyone can function within it. So I think he can stay.”

Gere further discussed his son’s acting gigs. “I still need to see his second episode of Euphoria, but he has this big thing coming up with Ryan Murphy, and he just finished shooting a film with Oliver Stone,” he said.

The veteran actor also joked that now he can “retire” as he is “passing the torch.” Gere elaborated on Homer following his footsteps in acting. “I don’t think he’s got to make a life choice to commit to this if he’s doing this now. He’s good at it and he’s having fun, but he can become a rock climber if he wants to do that,” the father of four said.

In addition, Gere talked about his own acting career. “I’m still doing it, so it must have been the most powerful choice, but I was also a musician,” he said. The Golden Globe-winning actor added that he “was a studio musician and had a lot of other things going on.”

He continued, “But acting was the one that kind of brought it all together — my interest in psychology, philosophy, music, art.” Gere also shared that he takes interest in what it is like being a human. “So it’s been kind of an amazing job, to filter all of my interests into this one thing,” he expressed.
