The Fascinating Full Story Of 2002’s Chicago

Richard Gere Now

Chicago was a hugely successful movie for Richard Gere, seeing him win a Golden Globe Award. He enjoyed more success a couple of years later with ‘Shall We Dance?’ and appeared alongside stars like Christian Bale and Heath Ledger for the Bob Dylan semi-biographical picture ‘I’m Not There,’ which was another critical success.

However, 2008’s Nights in Rodanthe was Gere’s last major Hollywood movie as he believes his own personal politics and views on China have led to him being shunned by many movie studios. Still, he has enjoyed plenty of success appearing in smaller, independent films like Arbitrage and Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.
