10 Famous Actors Who Can't Help Doing The Same Thing In Every Movie

6. Richard Gere Pauses, Stares Solemnly Into The Distance, Then Delivers His Line With A Tiny Smirk

As Witnessed In: LITERALLY EVERY MOVIE One of the highlights of Michael Winterbottom's semi-improvised sort of mockumentary The Trip, which starred Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as themselves, were those moments when the bickering pair would challenge one another in doing impressions of other actors. This involved the likes of Michael Caine, Woody Allen, Ray Winstone and Sir Anthony Hopkins, but one of the most memorable parts saw Coogan doing an uncanny impression of actor Richard Gere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKxZ0ecRksQ As Coogan explains, Gere has a tendency to look off into the distance, as if to have a recollection, before turning to deliver his line with a noticeably solemn tone. In Coogan's own words, it's Gere conjuring up "a little subtext that we didn't know about." It's a great impression, and one that rings even truer when you realise that Richard Gere CONSTANTLY does exactly what Coogan says he does throughout so many of his movies: pause, turn away, quiet reflection, and then straight back for the line. And once you notice it, it's entirely possible to unsee it. Forever.
