Homer Gere, the 26-year-old son of Hollywood legend Richard Gere, made his on-screen debut in the hit HBO series Euphoria, appearing in a racy bedroom scene with Sydney Sweeney. The episode, titled 'Rain or Shine,' features Homer as Dylan Reid, a television heartthrob who engages in a steamy encounter with Sweeney's character, Cassie, an OnlyFans creator.
Familiar Face
Viewers quickly noticed Homer's striking resemblance to his famous father, Richard Gere. Born in New York City in 2000 to Richard and his second wife, former Bond girl Carey Lowell, Homer was described by his father as 'the love of my life.' Richard once shared, 'He loves music, is a very fast runner, very smart, and very funny.'
Family Background
Richard and Carey married in 2002 but separated in 2013, finalizing their divorce in 2016. Richard later married Alejandra Silva in 2018. Following a custody battle, Homer primarily lived with his mother. He graduated from Hackley School in New York City and earned a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in visual arts from Brown University in 2024. Before acting, he worked as a research assistant in the Therapeutic Neuroscience Lab at Brown's School of Public Health.
Acting Career
Richard Gere told Vanity Fair Spain, 'It just so happens that he's only recently started acting himself. He's suddenly become interested and seems to be enjoying it. He's been writing and directing small films, so we have this new thing in common.' Homer acknowledged his father's guidance, saying, 'It's not necessarily related to the craft, but more like how do you carry yourself, how do you make this work in a positive way.' He added that his father's daily phone calls serve as an invaluable sounding board.
Euphoria Role and Reception
In the episode, Homer's character Dylan and Cassie engage in a sexual encounter, after which Dylan appears shirtless in the kitchen. Cassie later posts a photo of them together on social media with a caption. Homer's natural physique garnered praise on social media, with comments like 'This is the type of men we like to see, not all that steroid and looksmaxing gymrat stuff' and 'Richard Gere's son Homer Gere is currently going viral for his regular body.'
Homer described his first major set experience: 'This is my first real set experience. It's jumping into the deep end in a really cool way. I'm an actor playing an actor playing a character. You kind of get lost in it.' He is also set to appear in The Shards, according to IMDb.
