Richard Gere Put a Gerbil in His Rectum

Completely false urban legend with no credible evidence whatsoever

✗ The myth everyone repeats

Actor Richard Gere was rushed to the hospital after inserting a gerbil into his rectum.

✓ What is actually true

This is a well-documented urban legend with no factual basis. No hospital records, police reports, or credible news sources from the 1980s-90s support this claim. The rumour likely spread due to Gere's controversial film roles and general celebrity gossip culture. Gere has never addressed the rumour directly, but his lack of denial doesn't lend it credibility.
