“Pretty Woman Turns 35: Where Are They Now?”
Alright folks, grab your popcorn because we’re diving into a classic that still has us swooning—Pretty Woman! Can you believe it’s been 35 years since Richard Gere and Julia Roberts took us on a rom-com ride we never wanted to end? This 1990 gem, directed by Garry Marshall, raked in over $178 million at the box office, proving that a wealthy corporate raider and a charming sex worker can lead to some serious magic. But let’s be real: could this movie even be made today? Roberts herself thinks not, saying in a 2019 interview, “So many things you could poke a hole in,” but we all know the charm still holds up, right?
Fast forward to now and both stars have continued to light up our screens. Julia, who snagged her first Oscar nomination from this flick, has had a dazzling career—think Mystic Pizza, Steel Magnolias, and even Broadway! Today, she’s a mom of three and still gracing us with her presence in films like Ticket to Paradise. And in a cheeky twist, when asked where her character Vivian would be now, she joked about Edward’s peaceful passing and hinted that Vivian is now running the business—talk about a glow-up!
As for Richard Gere, he’s been a heartthrob since the ’70s, but nothing quite beats the magic of Pretty Woman for him. He’s still in the game, sharing nostalgic moments from the film while engaging in projects like the series MotherFatherSon. It’s clear they both have aged like fine wine, and honestly, who could forget that piano scene? So here’s to the timeless charm of Pretty Woman and its stars who continue to make us smile, because let’s face it, there’s no ending like a classic fairytale.
