Young Richard Gere almost sued talk show for calling him a ‘sex symbol’
to the Mail Online Saturday, Aspel, 90, revealed behind-the-scenes details about the time the “Pretty Woman” star appeared on his show in 1989. “When Richard Gere came on the show, I introduced him and at the end I said, and ‘he’s done this, he’s done that,’ and I used the phrase ‘sex symbol,'” said Aspel. “After the interview, we had a phone call from his agent saying if I didn’t remove the sex symbol thing, they were going to take it up with their lawyer.”According to Aspel, the “Chicago” star did not want to “be known as a sex symbol.” “It was very odd,” continued the former TV host.
