Ana Navarro thirsted over Richard Gere’s good looks and massage skills after interviewing him on “The View.”
Navarro, 53, called the “Pretty Woman” star, 76, her “dream celebrity” on Thursday after their interaction on the ABC talk show last week.
“I didn’t realize how much I had a crush on him until he got there and gave me a neck rub,” Navarro swooned in a Daily Mail interview.
“He is 76 years old, and he is so f–king hot,” she gushed.
Gere, notably, walked on set Friday and stopped to squeeze Navarro’s shoulders before greeting her co-hosts — Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The TV personality speculated that Gere “must have known” he had her “in a trance” since she “literally almost fainted.”
Navarro jokingly made a move on the “Internal Affairs” star during Friday’s sitdown, telling the outlet, “I literally put my arms up and said, ‘Richard, take me right now.’”
Navarro, who is Nicaraguan-American, noted that she believes Gere treated her to a neck massage because he “likes Latina women.”
“He’s married to a Spaniard,” she pointed out in reference to Gere’s partner, Alejandra Silva, who hails from Spain.
“In fact, [‘The View’ hosts] talk about him because his Spanish is really good,” Navarro said. “We started talking in Spanish.”
Due to his excellent Spanish-speaking skills, Navarro said the actor is “so ready” for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2025 halftime performance.
“Richard can keep up with Benito,” she gushed.
Gere and Silva — who tied the knot in 2018 after dating for four years — moved to her native country last year with their two kids: Alexander, 6, and James, 5.
Gere exclusively told Page Six in April that he and his wife, 42, are “so happy there.”
“Her family is there, her culture is there, [our] youngest kids are growing up there, their Spanish is perfect,” he told us at the time.
The “American Gigolo” star also is the father of Homer, 25, with ex-wife Carey Lowell, while Silva similarly has a son from a previous marriage.
