The romantic comedy Pretty Woman has earned its place as one of Hollywood’s most iconic films. Even though modern audiences often criticize the movie for certain outdated elements, it still holds a special place in the hearts of millions.
Some viewers today question the dynamic between the lead characters, calling the relationship unrealistic or unhealthy. Yet, for most fans, the film is exactly what it was meant to be — a fairytale set in Los Angeles, full of charm and unforgettable performances.
The movie first premiered in 1990, a golden era for cinema. Hard as it is to believe, more than three decades have passed since audiences first watched Julia Roberts and Richard Gere on screen together.
Back then, Julia was only 25 when she played the role that skyrocketed her to international fame. Today, she is 55, and though her appearance has naturally changed with time, she continues to be admired for her beauty and charisma.
Richard Gere, her on-screen partner, is now 74, just a few years away from turning 80. Despite their age, fans continue to adore both actors, insisting they will forever remain the youthful couple from the beloved film.
For many admirers, Julia and Richard are proof that true charm isn’t bound by age. One fan even commented that their souls seem untouched by time — and when the soul stays young, it shines through, no matter how many years go by.
