Filming in New York City

Richard Gere, 76, was recently seen getting close to his much younger co-star, 28-year-old Diana Silvers, while filming their new romantic drama, Asymmetry. The two were photographed in a New York City park, engaged in what appeared to be a deep conversation.

In the images, Gere sat with his arm resting behind Silvers as they shared a bench. Silvers wore a casual outfit featuring black loafers and a cream-colored dress adorned with a leaf pattern, while Gere sported a laid-back button-up shirt and jeans.

On-Screen Chemistry

Their chemistry was evident as they filmed various scenes around the city. Earlier in the week, they were seen holding hands while walking through the streets of New York. At one point, Gere wrapped his arm around Silvers’ waist, drawing her close as she rested her arm on his shoulder.

The film tells the fictional love story of Alice, played by Silvers, a young editorial assistant, and Ezra Blazer, portrayed by Gere, a celebrated 70-year-old author. The narrative explores their unexpected romance against the backdrop of New York City.

Based on a Novel

Asymmetry is adapted from Lisa Halliday’s 2018 novel of the same name. The book is divided into three parts, with the first section, titled “Folly,” focusing on Alice’s relationship with the older writer, Ezra. It captures the essence of their connection during a tumultuous time in history.

The film’s logline hints at a transformative journey for both characters, emphasizing their private world and the challenges they face when their relationship is revealed.

Behind the Scenes

Edward Zwick, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, co-wrote the screenplay with Halliday and Marshall Herskovitz. He is also set to direct and produce the film, which currently does not have a release date.

In his personal life, Gere is in an age-gap relationship with his wife, Alejandra Silva, who is 43. The couple began dating in 2014 and married in 2018, and they have two sons together.
