This year’s Cannes Film Festival was a family affair for Richard Gere, 74, and his loved ones. The “Pretty Woman” star attended the event with both his doting wife, Alejandra Silva, 41, and beloved eldest son, Homer James Jigme Gere, 24, by his side.
Stepping out dressed to the nines, Alejandra adorned a stunning black floral print gown while her dashing beau and stepson rocked classy black suits with matching bow ties and white dress shirts.

Although pictures of all three of them were certainly a sight to behold, what piqued the attention of fans specifically was Homer and his charming aesthetic.

“His son is gorgeous!” gushed an admirer online. Similarly, another added, “Wow his son is so good looking!” while someone else swooned, “So handsome!” “Beautiful guy!” wrote another fan contributing to the overwhelming amount of praise Homer received.

On the other hand, other people diverted their focus to the striking resemblance Homer shares with “his beautiful mom,” famous actress Carey Lowell. “Homer looks just like his mom,” noted a Facebooker. Echoing the sentiment further, another commented, “The son’s [a] spitting image of his mom.”

Not only did Carey’s lookalike son hit the jackpot in terms of his appearance, but according to his father, he also has a heart of gold. Richard once described the 24-year-old Brown University student as “very sweet, very sensitive,” and “very smart.”

“He’s smarter than me, stronger than me, faster than me, taller than me, better than me. He’s great. I love him,” Richard said while discussing Homer in a 2019 interview. When it comes to his son and family, there is nothing the “Shall We Dance?” actor wouldn’t do for them.
