Couple’s Chemistry
Initially, Richard Gere was very hesitant to sign on for the film because he wasn’t too impressed by the character he was supposed to play. But we all know that he did sign up, but what we actually don’t know is that he said yes mainly because of Julia Roberts and her very charismatic personality.

Richard met Julia for the first time in New York and was instantly taken aback by her. The pair had undeniable chemistry, which translated well for the film and made it seem like the two actors were actually in love, just like their characters. Even many years later, in The Runaway Bride, the two were again cast in the leading roles, and the chemistry was still there.
