Needs a Richard Gere tag

Didn’t get this shit. Explain please
Richard Gere = famous actor
The story goes like this: Richard Gere once got a gerbil stuck up his ass and then had to go to the ER to get it removed. And that’s it — end of story. Yet this single-sentence narrative has somehow endured the test of time for decades, like some ancient folklore passed down from generation to generation. Why has this story been so durable? Where did it come from? Why the fuck is a gerbil always the rodent of choice? Most importantly, is it true?
First off, let’s establish whether gerbiling — as it’s apparently called — is even a real thing. Certainly, the Wikipedia article for “gerbiling” (which contains perhaps the greatest wiki image/caption pairing of all time) regards the act as merely a “rumored sexual practice.” Being a respectable journalist, though, and unwilling to take Wikipedia at face value, I also reached out to literally dozens of gerbil breeders for this piece. One of the very few who replied told me, “There is no sexual act of ‘gerbiling.’ This is an old urban legend.”
