The Chicago actor is married to former Bond girl Carey Lowell
Los Angeles:
Hollywood star Richard Gere says he is a tough guy on film sets, but his wife takes control when it comes to home.
The 63-year-old actor, whose career has spanned four decades, says he can be an alpha male when making movies, but says when it comes to his home life his wife Carey Lowell is usually in charge, reported Daily Star.
"I'm kind of a tough guy at work and I guess because I'm a big shot on set, everyone has to listen to me. But I live with a very strong woman! Believe me, she doesn't say 'yes' very often. I'm the one that says 'yes'. I say, 'Yes, dear.' I don't even argue," said Gere.
Although the Pretty Woman star is now a doting husband and father to 13-year-old son Homer, he reveals he enjoyed his youth in Hollywood and took advantage of all the perks fame had to offer.
"It was all fresh, everything was new. I was 23-years-old, a kid, and I was starring in the West End of London in a stage production. This was the early '70s - a great time where anything was possible. You know, young men - they try this, they try that. It's the same anywhere. It doesn't matter where you are, whether it's Los Angeles or New York or Liverpool. Of course you experiment," said Gere.
