Richard Gere’s new film Asymmetry is sparking major controversy after he plays an older man romantically entangled with a much younger woman — co-star Diana Silvers, who’s nearly two decades his junior. Critics and social media users are blasting the movie as another Hollywood trope pushing age-gap romances, especially since Gere’s own life includes a 33-year-younger wife and a past relationship with Cindy Crawford that ended amid their 17-year age gap. While some viewers are outraged and making jokes about the size of the gap, others defend the actors’ right to choose roles regardless of public opinion — as long as no one’s being harmed.
