Richard Gere?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gere

Richard Tiffany Gere (/ɡɪər/ GEER;[1][2] born August 31, 1949) is an American actor. He began appearing in films in the 1970s, playing a supporting role in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977) and a starring role in Days of Heaven (1978). Gere came to prominence with his role in the film American Gigolo (1980), which established him as a leading man and a sex symbol.

Ah.

OP is referencing Pretty Woman (1990), starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.

You damn kids, don't know Richard Gere, get off my lawn, etc.

Millenial version of this is basically Nathan Fillion.

You might be able to kick me off your lawn (if you don't go underwater on your mortgage!)...

... but you can't take the sky from me.

I think I watched part of Pretty Woman at one point, lost interest, never finished it. Wouldn't have known the names of anyone in it, though.

Indecent proposal, more likely.

Richard Gere isn't in that. But he was in Pretty Woman, about a guy who hires a prostitute and falls in love with her.

Oh right, he isn't. My bad. It would have been a better fit though.

Richard Gere is a fuckin baller. He's banned from China because of his support for Tibet lol
