Richard Gere came up with Pretty Woman’s most memorable scene because he felt his role was too shallow.
In the movie, Gere’s character, Edward, is a wealthy businessman who falls for Julia Roberts’ character, Vivian. The script didn’t give him much depth, so Gere decided to add a special touch. He improvised the famous scene where he snaps the jewelry box on Vivian’s fingers, making her laugh genuinely. This moment became iconic and showed a different side of Edward.
Sometimes, we need to take matters into our own hands to make things better.
Actors often bring their own ideas to their roles, which can make movies more interesting. Gere’s improvisation added humor and charm to the film, making it unforgettable for many fans.
