Gere and Keaton would team up again more than four decades later in 2023’s “Maybe I Do.”
“Obviously, I think about her now. We made a film a few years ago, too. I hadn’t seen her in a long time,” he said.
Gere went on to say he and Keaton leaned on each other while making “Looking for Mr. Goodbar.”
“That was a difficult film, this very kind of raw, sexual film. And she’s pretty shy and skittish. And I was, too. That was my second film.
