Richard Gere wears pants on his head, looks unkempt for new film role

A dishevelled Richard Gere was pictured with underwear on his head on the set of his latest movie Time Out of Mind in New York yesterday (March 26).

The actor, who recently signed up to star in the sequel to Best Exotic Marigold Hotel , wore a woolly hat, scarf, crumpled shirt and, at one point, Calvin Klein pants over his head as he shot scenes for the upcoming drama.

He was also seen sipping beer as he sat on a park bench, before staggering around as he put on another shirt.

The film centres around a New York man who runs out of options and finds himself living in a homeless shelter. He attempts to rebuild his life and salvage his former relationship with his estranged daughter.

Oren Moverman, who was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for his film The Messenger, is directing and has also adapted the script from a story by The Constant Gardener screenwriter Jeffrey Caine.

Gere will be producing the movie as well. Speaking about his role to Deadline recently, he explained: "Time Out of Mind has obsessed me for many years now.

"It is a profoundly human story that we are determined to make into a powerful film that speaks to everyone.

"I am proud and delighted to be collaborating with the brilliant writer/director Oren Moverman in telling this emotional and uncompromising story of loss, connection and the possibility of redemption."

Time Out of Mind is set for release in 2015.
