Gere to Photogs: Stay Away From My Kid!

46. I somehow doubt that you'd be giving the peace signs being followed around all the time, with the photos in your face. There is a difference between being asked for an autograph by a fan, or having a photo taken when someone sees you (including photraphers), to being hounded (and sometimes by a couple of dozen or so). It isn't cool to do that.

47. Go Gere. Kick them. Gee...the photographers were so ironic. Messing with his son(photographer) gets on his nerves when in fact his son was taking pictures of gere's kid who is much much much younger than his fat old hag son. who ever are siding with the photographers should get thier head check.

48. practising budhism doesn't naturally mean that we are superhuman and doon't get mad at all. W e are first of all human being and although budhism teaches us to be kind to all living kind we do get Mad, have Hatred and what not. Afterall we just a normal being and trying our best to abide by our teaching and many times we fail. Gere is also no exception. So don't expect him to take the photographer to coffee when such situation arise.

49. People at the Tmz get your head checked. I am sure if someone is following your child then you would act the same way. Pathetic losers at TMZ. Know who is right in this situation. If it was Britney's, Nicole's or Paris' s child than it's a different case.( when they have a child)

50. I'm with Gere all the way on this one. I call bullshit on the older pap trying to protect his son. His son is a grown man and they tagteam celebs and their minor children.Personally, I think the paps in NYC are totally out of control. They are predatory, they are violent and they try to provoke lawsuits or for a money shot. I hope they pass laws curbing access, espcially to the minor children of celebs. I enjoy pap pictures as much as the next person, but when I see that you have obviously intruded, fabricating your news items, and I see the wariness and the discomfort of people who are simply trying to walk down a street with their families, I think that sucks. Following celebs as they are coming out of nightclubs, or out of hotels in midtown is one thing. Following them to their homes and their neighborhoods is nasty. And vile. And when minor kids are concernd, paps suck bigtime.

51. I think that it's really creepy taking pics of someone elses kids without their permission.
Stupid ass paparazi.

52. Fuck! Paparazzi's are such asshole bullies. Their PROFESSION has turned into one of pestering people and starting any kind of conflict they can to stir up a worthy news report or photo opp! its so pathetic to see these guys like flies on shit whenever a celebrity comes into view. Please read this post all you morons out there who takes pics of celebs for a living and get a real job in photography. I'm sure when you went to college majoring in photograhpy this wasnt what you people had in mind. Photography is an art not a circus ACT! Please get serious....this is really pathetic work. They should all be terribly ashamed of themselves and humiliated for the "so-called work" that they do. Thats just my opinion on the subject. Its not important to me if anyone agrees with me....so if you think shooting back at my comment is going to make a difference in my life. Think again. I wont even be back here to read it, so go BALLS if you wish. Photogs get over it already and leave these people alone. Would you like it if people were taking pics of you 24/7 hours a day, even to take a shit? No, I dont think so!!!!! Signed, pissed at these guys!

53. That's NOT a way for a Buddist to be acting! He is yet another Hollywood poser.

54. If you people are so mad at the paparazzi why post here? The more you post the more attention the site gets! They are laughing at you fools! Do you think they will read your posts and change? The best way to show your distaste for them is to not go to sites like this and add fuel to the fire.

55. "Hey Richard, he was just doing the same thing you were -- protecting his son!"

Gimme a freakin' break! "Elder Photog" wouldn't have had to protect his own son - if he had just respected Richard Gere's!

The Paparazzi are out of control and completely out of touch with the reality of how "important" their jobs are. They risk the health and safety of everyone around them for a picture that garners only passing interest from the public at large.

Get some perspective!!

56. I like the statement of no. 12. To No. 12 and No. 30. Richard Geres fathers name is Homer, too. Homer was an antic greek writer.
I agree with 31. If making a photo with Richard Gere and his son Homer. There is the possiblity to make the face of Richard Geres son unclear.
To 39 Yes he did it. So what. Everybody makes mistake. Its said the Richard did know that will get a son. Maybe he has seen this too. Or he was just so proud have a child. Anyway this page does not exist anymore. So he lost his money anyway.
I like the statement from Frank Smith and Brenda.
Normal Richard take it rather cool, when people making a picture of him.
Its logical that he doesn't like when people make picture of his son.
His son is it no a public person. So if you have to make photos of his son, take care that is not possible to see his face.

57. Thats right its a matter of time, RIGHT ON RICHARD< FU PRESS, LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE, private is private WE DONT care about the scoop EDITORS

58. The whole business behind this video is disgusting. Yes, Mr. Gere is a public citizen and he does understand that he is a famous person that will be photographed. BUT, the violation set against the privacy of the younger child is inexcusable and must be strictly protected. Regardless what you might think of the actor in the end he still is a citizen and has the right to protect his family from injustices.
THEN to view the offensive video we must wait while a Proctor & Gamble advertisement plays for CG Mascara, with Queen Lahtifa. This stinks! Let P&G know how you feel, Queen too! Let them feel violated too for supporting this with their endorsements. Boycott P&G and Queen Lahtifa.

59. This GereGoof had his 15 minutes of fame eons ago. Let King Buddah-Richard do his thing away from public eye. Put this air-head out to pasture, once and for all.

60. Hey paulie , your off your CRACKER! Why don't you take a flying leap! The man is still a great actor , and will always be a great actor! Lets put you out to pasture, your the one being an airhead here! He has every right to protect his kid from a**holes such as the photographer and you! He's the actor he expects to be hounded by these crazy loons, but his kid doesn't have to!
