(While filming "Bosnian Holiday",a film about the hunt for Karadzic), actor Richard Gere becomes ill from the smell of cevapi
Sarajevo - Actor Richard Gere, who is a Buddhist and a vegeterian, became ill from the smell of cevapi [trans. note: small grilled sausages, a traditional dish] in the Sarajevo quarter of Bascarsija.
The hospitable restaurant operators were forced to close their shops during filmining in Bascarsija because of Gere, even though they made an effort and brought him the very best cevapi to be had, writes the Sarajevo press.
The famous Hollywood star is in Sarajevo filming "Holiday in Bosnia". Gere's arrival in the Bosnia-Herzegovina capital has not been well-received for a number of reasons, including his muscular security guards who have been tough with photo journalists.
What a weenie.
The "Ugly American" personified.

How lame.
Some Officer and a Gentleman.
Sheesh.
C'mon. Jack Nicklaus bans hot dogs from the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio because the smell of hot dogs makes him sick. If you are a vegetarian, the smell or hot dogs and sausage can make someone sick.
Not me, however. Like Christopher Walken, I could eat hot dogs for breakfast. Of course, I would be dead.
Excellent point. It's kind of the same thing I notice at health food stores --most of the people there look pasty & sickly, so why would I want to be like them?
But with Gere, it only proves how far out of his depth he is in having anything to do with the Balkans. He has the personal constitution of a hot-house orchid.
Then Gerebil should wear a noseplug and not hurt everyone else's business.
What a WUSS!...........I'd use another word, but would be banned for a while..............
Funny. I always heard that Gere loved the sausage.
I can here the song now.
His quest is almost over.
Get his man a toaster; We have a wiener...I mean, winner!
Asparagus used to do that to me when I was a kid. I mean, if somebody was cooking the stuff, I had to leave the NEIGHBORHOOD; just leaving my own yard usually wasn't enough. Then again, in those days, all American women cooked green vegetables the same way more or less, i.e. into a sort of a green glue and then tried to flavor the mess to taste like C-rations and K-rations and all the foods they knew and loved during WW-II.
My sis-in-law was a vegan for a while. Always pale, wan, weak and sick, she finally decided to throw a little meat in her diet. She is a much healthier gal now, in good shape with color and a little meat on her former raggedy bones. Plus she isn't a preachy a-hole anymore when I grab a mutton chop off the table!
Eat the spinach RichardLOL!
The rest of the cast should act like they are ill after smelling some of his vegetarian crap. Let him see it from the other side. He can sit around while they get examined by doctors.
What'a woman...
Rumor has he is a sausage smuggler.
Maybe they did. And he got HOMEsick...........
Gere is the guy who stood up at one of the 09/11 memorials and pleaded with the American public not to result to violence in the face of those terrorist attacks. Now the chump has brawny security guards to protect himself.
How I do destest the two-faced idiot pacifists.
