Richard Gere and The Silver Surfer

[Jet Beetle]

Thought I'd post this - I remember going to see Breathless with some members of my family and being tickled to death Richard Gere was a fan of the Silver Surfer in the movie (years later I found out he's a fan of the character in real life too and had the script rewritten - he was supposed to be reading Tolstoy). Back when this movie came out comics were still just comics - not part of the everyday like now. I still love the scenes where he reads and relates to the character.

Always cracks me up when the kid says the Silver Surfer is "a jerk". They showed Richard's gear in that movie you think they could have at least let the kid call him something less Steve Martin and more Eddie Murphy.
