Richard Gere Causes a Stir on 'Today' Show with Unexpected Gesture

Richard Gere's interview on NBC's 'Today' show took an unexpected turn when he flashed his middle finger at host Savannah Guthrie. The actor explained it was a continuation of a gesture from a scene in his upcoming series, 'The Agency'. This incident followed singer Cher's controversial appearance on the same show the day prior, where she dropped an F-bomb. Guthrie expressed her surprise at the events, stating that they were caught off-guard by the level of inappropriateness following Cher's remarks. Gere emphasized that his gesture was not intended to offend and was a part of his character's scene.
