Richard Gere welcomed his son, Homer Gere, in 2000
The look-alike father-son duo have attended many sports games and work events together over the years
Homer has always looked up to his dad
Richard Gere’s son Homer Gere is the spitting image of his dad.
Homer was born to parents Richard and Carey Lowell on Feb. 6, 2000. Richard is also dad to sons Alexander and James with his wife Alejandra Silva and a stepfather to her son, Albert, from a previous relationship.
Growing up, Homer always looked up to his dad — and he still does. As Homer builds his acting career, Richard has given him immeasurable advice on “how to carry yourself on set” and “how to make an acting career work in a way that’s sustainable,” he exclusively told PEOPLE in July 2026, ahead of the premiere of his FX show The Shards.
He continued, “And for that, he’s been the most invaluable resource. I mean, truly better than I could possibly hope for, from anyone.”
Here are eight photos of Richard Gere with his look-alike son Homer Gere over the years.

Family Affair

Big smiles run the family, as proven by this backstage snapshot of Richard, Cary and Homer at the hit musical Hair in N.Y.C. in March 2010.
The family loves musical theater — when Homer was a child, he relied on his dad’s 2002 Chicago soundtrack songs to make him feel at home.
“When I was a kid, Chicago was my favorite,” Homer told PEOPLE of the musical comedy in July. “I had the Chicago songs that he sang on my iPod because I had a little separation anxiety on the school bus.”

The Geres clean up well on red carpets. Take this moment of the pair looking spiffy in suits and bowties at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024 as proof.
Over the years, Richard has opened up about how proud he is of Homer, whose acting résumé includes The Shards, Euphoria and more.
“One, he’s really good. He really kind of preternaturally knows what he’s doing. But he’s also handling it really well. He’s a good kid,” Richard told PEOPLE in June 2026. “He’s a really good young man who kind of gets it, and this is not an easy job. Not everyone can function within it. So I think he can stay.”
He continued, “I still need to see his second episode of Euphoria, but he has this big thing coming up with Ryan Murphy, and he just finished shooting a film with Oliver Stone.”
The Pretty Woman star then joked, “So I can retire now. I’m passing the torch.”
