LONDON:

Hollywood actor Richard Gere used to have a strange compatibility test for potential girlfriends. Gere showed potential girlfriends pictures of body parts and severed heads, reported contact-music.com. He revealed that he used to collect strange photographs, which he hung all over his apartment. He would look to see how his dates would react to the pictures and he would know if the relationship would work out.

Gere said, “It clearly was a litmus test about the women who came into my apartment — how they related to this work. If they didn’t like it or they threw up, or whatever, they definitely were not going to be someone in my life.”

But Gere’s wife was smart enough to pretend to like the pictures when they were dating. He added, “My wife Carey actually kind of liked it - until we got married, of course, and then she said, ‘Get it out of the house.’”
