Karine Valnais Gombeau, a 42-year-old Parisian, quickly handed over her extra pizza to the man. She says the man thanked her and said, “God bless you,” and she went on her way.

The 64 year old Gere, known for movies like “Pretty Woman” and “Chicago” was shooting a scene–with the crew shooting from the other side of the street-for his upcoming movie “Time Out of Mind.” It wasn’t until she was shown a picture of herself and Gere, that she realized what happened.
