Richard Gere has shared the one condition for a potential “Pretty Woman” sequel, revealing that it would only happen if the script is up to par.

In an interview, the actor emphasized that the success of the 1990 rom-com hinged on having a great script, and that he’d be open to a sequel only if the writing matched the original’s charm and depth.

The film, which followed Gere’s character, a wealthy businessman, and Julia Roberts’ Vivian, a sex worker, became a cultural phenomenon and greatly influenced Gere’s career.

Gere also recalled a memorable improvised scene in the film—the iconic piano moment—where his character plays a moody piece while sharing a romantic moment with Vivian.

He explained how the scene came to life through a conversation with director Garry Marshall, leading to a heartfelt and sensual moment that wasn’t scripted but became a key part of the film.

Despite the movie’s ongoing popularity, Roberts expressed that it may not be possible to create a similar film today, citing shifts in the cultural and political landscape that could make such a story difficult to replicate.

The film’s portrayal of class and relationships might not align with current sensibilities. Though both Gere and Roberts acknowledge these challenges, they also remain proud of the film’s enduring legacy and its lasting impact on audiences.
