With its fantastic storyline and impressive performances, the captivating film “Pretty Woman” left a deep impression.

Although many fans still remember the iconic scene where Richard Gere’s character Edward overcomes his fear of heights to save Julia Roberts’ character Vivian, few know the fascinating stories behind the scenes of filming.

Other well-known actors could have taken on the role of Edward, although Richard Gere did a great job.

Interestingly, it was Julia Roberts who convinced Gere to accept this classic role despite his initial doubts.

Charles Grodin was one of the main candidates for the role.

At a special reunion of the actors in 2015, long-held secrets and exciting stories about “Pretty Woman” were revealed, further enhancing the charm of the film.

This romantic comedy, which combines love, humor, and a captivating plot, has won the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 1990.

The blooper reel from the film, recently released as a rare gift for fans, showcased funny moments between the actors and crew.

These outtakes offer an entertaining glimpse into the joy and camaraderie that shaped filming, with clumsy moments and unexpected mishaps.

See the video below for a taste of these charming moments.

A particularly unforgettable blooper shows Julia Roberts trying to stay serious in an important scene.

Her infectious giggle made both her and Richard Gere laugh — a reminder of the real chemistry that made “Pretty Woman” a classic.

Possible Stars for the Role of Edward Lewis

Actors like Christopher Reeve, Denzel Washington, and Daniel Day-Lewis were considered for the role of Edward before Richard Gere took it on.

Similarly, actresses like Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Sandra Bullock were rumored to be intended for Vivian’s role but turned it down.

A Wardrobe that Combined Simplicity and Luxury

A necklace in the film cost an incredible $250,000 and was carefully guarded during filming by a jeweler’s security officer.

At the same time, Vivian’s iconic red coat cost only $30 and was purchased by the director from a cinema attendant shortly before shooting began.

Interestingly, both Ferrari and Porsche refused to showcase their cars in this film despite its enormous success.

The Director’s Tricks Behind The Scenes

In one scene, the director used a funny technique where he tickled Julia Roberts’ feet behind camera to make her laugh.

However, Roberts was so nervous that a vein popped out on her forehead.

To create a more relaxed atmosphere, the director lay down next to Roberts and Richard Gere and gently stroked her face until she calmed down.
