A Hollywood nepo-baby looked just like his famous parents as he stepped out on the red carpet at the premiere of The Agency.

The 24-year-old, who has a Bond girl mum and a megastar actor for a father, looked dapper in a black suit and white shirt on Thursday.

He attended the premiere for the new series alongside a host of other famous faces at the star-studded evening in New York, reports The Sun.

This young star’s mum starred as a leading lady opposite Timothy Dalton in the 1980s Bond spy thriller.

And his dad is known for being the heart-throb in several classic rom-coms, wooing the likes of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Winona Ryder onscreen.

But have you guessed who his parents are yet?

The handsome looking man posing for photos at the The Museum of Modern Art, is none other than Homer James Jigme Gere, the son of US actor Richard Gere and his second ex-wife Carey Lowell.

Homer, who recently graduated from the prestigious Brown University, where he majored in psychology and visual art, attended the red carpet premiere with his dad and his wife Alejandra Silva.

His name Homer James – is a tribute to his grandfathers Homer Gere and James Lowell and his middle name Jigme means “fearless” in Tibetan – a nod to Richard’s Buddhism.

Carey played Bond girl Pam Bouvier in License To Kill in 1989 – which was Timothy Dalton’s second and final stint as 007.

She then landed the role as Jamie Ross in Law & Order from 1996 to 2001, before returning again in 2022.

Hollywood icon Richard has starred in a string of hit movies – from Pretty Woman in 1990 alongside Julia Roberts to Shall We Dance? with pop sensation Jennifer Lopez.

In 2013, Richard and Carey decided to split after 11 years of marriage.

In 2020, Richard welcomed his latest child into the world at the grand old age of 71.

At the time, he announced that he and wife Alejandra had welcomed a baby boy.

This is their second child as they had their first son, Alexander, in February 2019.

Richard is also stepdad to Alejandra’s eight-year-old son Albert, from her first marriage.

Richard married Spanish activist Alejandra Silva in April 2018.

They had been dating for four years.

The pair actually first met when Alejandra was a little girl as Richard is a family friend.

They then reconnected in 2014 at a hotel that Alejandra was managing – the Treville hotel in Positano, Italy.

Richard, who starred in movies including An Officer And A Gentleman and Runaway Bride, has previously admitted he has no worries about being an older father.

Asked if it was something that concerned him, he said: “Not at all. No.”

Richard has dated some of the world’s most famous women.

From 1991-1995 he was married to supermodel Cindy Crawford.

He has also had relationships with Penelope Milford (1971 to 1978), Priscilla Presley (1983) and Kim Basinger (1986).
