I'm going to keep it simple for today's Man Crush Monday and go with a legendary hunk who is celebrating his birthday today. It's my little gift to him! Here you go, birthday boy, you get a spotlight from Mr. Man. What's not to love about that? Join me in celebrating my eternal crush and yours, Richard Gere.

Starlet Richard Tiffany Gere (real name!) is in the Mr. Man Hall of Fame who has shown off his booty time and time again. In the 1980s especially, Gere showed off his gear several times from his ass-out scenes in Beyond the Limit to peaks at his penis in Breathless. I was indeed breathless at his peachy booty that was looking so juicy in and out of bed. His nude scenes never fail to disappoint, even later in his career. Richard has always kept things tight and right back there.

Hell, he even took out his cock for a drool-worthy dick scene in 1980's American Gigolo. This was the role that showed the world just how hot and talented Richard really is. As the titular American Gigolo, he walked out of bed naked and let his man meat jiggle for our pleasure. I've been hooked ever since!
