Richard Gere revealed he hasn’t yet watched his son Homer’s raunchy “Euphoria” sex scene with Sydney Sweeney, while gushing over the young actor’s blossoming career.
“I still need to see his second episode of ‘Euphoria,’” the “Pretty Woman” star told People in an interview published on Monday, referring to the Season 3 episode where Homer’s character, Dylan Reid, gets hot and heavy with Sweeney, who portrays Cassie Howard.
“I’m proud of him on two levels,” Gere said about the 26-year-old. “He really kind of preternaturally knows what he’s doing. But he’s also handling it really well.”
The actor, who shares his son with his ex-wife, Carey Lowell, described Homer as a “good kid” and a “really good young man who kind of gets it.”
“This is not an easy job. Not everyone can function within it. So I think he can stay,” Gere, 76 said.
He also raved about his son’s forthcoming Ryan Murphy-produced show “The Shards” and movie with filmmaker Oliver Stone.
“So I can retire now. I’m passing the torch,” the “Jackal” star quipped.
Homer made his debut on Season 3 of “Euphoria” and starred in two episodes as a Hollywood movie star whom Sweeney’s character uses to gain fame as an OnlyFans model.
In Homer’s second appearance in the series, he got intimate with Cassie in a bid for the latter to regain her following after impulsively deleting her account.
During the steamy scene, the duo broke the bed and knocked a painting off the wall.
After they’re finished, Cassie grabs Dylan’s phone, sharing a photo of them in bed and captions it, “World’s greatest f–k @itsjustmecassie.” The following day, the post went viral.
“Euphoria” was Homer’s big break and his next role is as Robert Mallory in “The Shards.”
Before that, he starred in a variety of short films and Khatumu’s “Hunting Days” music video in 2024.
Homer has previously shared the words of wisdom he has received from his dad, telling “Entertainment Tonight” in April that Gere has pushed him to reflect on how he carries himself.
Additionally, the “Chicago” star has encouraged Homer to think about how to make his craft “work in a positive way.”
