Richard Gere was seen getting awfully cozy and comfortable with his much younger on-screen love interest.
Many were appalled to see the 76-year-old actor be paired with someone who was more than half his age.
The news comes as the duo starts filming in New York City for their upcoming romantic drama movie. This movie has sparked massive online debate linked to Hollywood age gaps. But the romance is mostly fictional and tightly linked to the movie's plot. This follows the relationship between a 70-year-old world-renowned author and a young editorial assistant whose lives are altered after a chance meeting in Central Park.
Adapted from the author Lisa Halliday's 2018 critically acclaimed novel of the same name, it's written and directed by Oscar winner Edward Zwick alongside Marshall Herskovitz.
Photographers were seen capturing the co-stars holding hands and chatting on a park bench with Gere's arm wrapped behind Silver's.
