Richard Gere Surprises Fans With a Dramatic Transformation for His New Role

In 2014, acclaimed actor Richard Gere took on one of the most emotionally demanding roles of his career while filming the independent drama Time Out of Mind. Directed by Oren Moverman, the film tells the story of George, a man struggling with mental illness who suddenly finds himself homeless after losing the place where he had been living.

Rather than portraying homelessness from a distance, the filmmakers wanted audiences to experience the isolation, uncertainty, and invisibility that many unhoused people face every day.
