And there's "Breathless"...don't forget "Breathless"!

Although he did appear naked in that film, so it wasn't a total waste of celluloid. Once again, I judge life on the ever-so-important nude factor. I can be so shallow.

JAW fan

Rest assured your penchant for on-screen nudity will never be denegrated on this blog.

Oddly enough, I heard on the radio this morning why the Indian public are so outraged. Apparently at some awards show, Richard Gere dipped then kissed some Bollywood actress on the cheek.

Apparently he didn't realize, there is no public displays of affection in India. All the movies portray running water as romance/affection. He'd probably had been okay if he tossed a glass of water at her...

He'd have won points from me if he did so naked too.
