Paul Schrader- “If Jacob Elordi was alive 40 years ago, I would have cast him in American Gigolo over Richard Gere!”
Schrader feels Glen Powell is the new Paul Newman and he feels Elordi is the new Richard Gere.
“ Paul Schrader may think that Glen Powell is the next Paul Newman, but the “Oh, Canada” filmmaker is making it clear that Jacob Elordi could follow in Richard Gere‘s filmic footsteps.
Schrader cast Elordi as the younger version of Gere’s lead character in “Oh, Canada,” which premiered in competition at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and went on to screen at TIFF.
However, Schrader is now suggesting that Elordi might have even beat out Gere for “American Gigolo” if they had been contemporaries.
“I saw his performance on Zoom and, if this was 40 years ago, this is the guy I would have cast for ‘American Gigolo,'” Schrader told The Hollywood Reporter of Elordi’s audition for “Oh, Canada.”

But the buttcrack is still the new cleavage.

Is being called the next Richard Gere really a compliment?

Young Gere is a bajillion times hotter than Jacob.

Paul Schraeder seems unhealthily fixated on generic, younger, Hollywood male performers.
No word from him on actresses, of course.

R3 No way.
Henry Cavill has always strived to be a box office star. This year was the first time he ever had interesting character roles.
Jacob has taken on all interesting projects

Would Jacob show his dick on camera?

Schrader's drooling over Elordi is simply dementia. And no Elordi is not going to allow him to get him into his pants in a million years. All Schrader can do is watch if he has enough tokens.

R10 pretty much sums up how Datalounge views this particular comparison. Reach for the stars and you might fall face-first at 'Ginger' Rogers State Beach.

Schrader's friends with Elordi's publicist(s). Someone called in a favor.

That’s just stupid. Nothing says high-priced, rock hard male gigolo like Richard Gere.

He needs to get that Rummer Willis jaw shaved down.

Richard Gere as Julian Kaye was also in love with himself, but in him it was sexy, unlike with this douche.

R4 he had a very successful movie career and is considered a living legend. Yes. It’s a compliment

Straight guys are popping boners for him. He’s the next Ryan Reynolds. He’s one of these guys that really doesn’t appeal to gay men but for some reason straight guys love.

More importantly, women love Elordi. That’s the most important part. Straight guys do like him a lot. He’s popular with young guys. Some even relate to Nate Jacobs for some reason.
Many gays find him attractive

He lacks Richard Gere's charm (in 1980). You might as well cast Harry Styles (who does have charm).

He doesn't have that hard edge that would make him convincing as a gigolo
