Unknown to her, that homeless man was legendary actor, Richard Gere who was playing the part of a homeless man and was just in character for his latest film 'Time Out of Mind'.
The tourist saw Gere standing outside of Grand Central Station at approximately 5:45pm on Tuesday.
According to her, after exiting a pizzeria in Little Italy, she saw him digging through a trash bin and drinking a beer from a brown paper bag. Touched by the sorry sight, she offered him leftovers from an "enormous" pizza that she, her husband and 15-year-old son had ordered. She told the NY Post
What's in the bag?" Gere, 64, asked. I tried to tell him in English, but it came out half in French. I said, 'Je suis désolée [I am sorry], but the pizza is cold. He said, 'Thank you so much. God bless you,'"
She was shocked to see herself in a newspaper two days later that the man she extended her generosity to was 64 year old Gere , reportedly worth $100 million.
"It was magical . . . It's crazy, this story. It's unimaginable that something like this could happen. I think he's very handsome, even at his age," she added. " 'Pretty Woman' was not my favorite movie, but I really loved 'Chicago.
