The Sunday Times had an interview with Richard Gere, who is a Buddhist. After trying in vain to establish any individual traits whatsoever, outside of a general blandness, the journalist concluded:

“I’ve found it almost impossible to locate even the mildest tic or mannerism on which to hang his character. Decades of meditation have almost entirely polished away his personality. Richard Gere is a great big nobody. You see him, but he’s not really there.”

He then added:

“Writing this some days after I met him, I find this faintly chilling .”
