Cannes 1998

I photographed Gerard Depardieu for the first time in Cannes in 1983...and then continuously until 1998.

Form of the 7th Art, internationally recognized as one of the best actors.

Gerard has always been between the wandering and the kindness of the giant... Only in 2018 the decline begins...

In August 2018, Gerard Depardieu was accused of rape and sexual harassment by actress Charlotte Arnould when she was 22 years old. In December 2020, the actor was accused of "rape" and "sexual assault"

In April 2023, the journalist Marine Turchi published on Mediapart the testimony of 13 women who accuse Gerard Depardieu of sexual violence during the filming of eleven films between 2004 and 2022. Among these 13 women, we find in particular the actress Sarah Brooks who accuses the actor for sexual harassment by putting his hand down her pants on the set of the television series Marseille but will not press charges for fear of being taken seriously. Three of these women are bringing their testimony to justice in support of Charlotte Arnould. Gerard Depardieu disputes the accusations.

In July 2023, another woman reported to France Inter a sexual assault on a set in 2015

On September 10, 2023, actress Hélène Darras filed a sexual assault complaint against Gérard Depardieu. She accuses him of "groping" her in 2007 on the set of Fabien Onteniente's movie Disco. The Paris prosecutor's office told AFP that because the complaint concerns predetermined events, it is "under analysis" to determine its direction

In December 2023, Ruth Baza, a Spanish journalist and author, filed a lawsuit against Depardieu for rape committed in 1995 in Paris...

Perpetrator or victim?

Let it be...le soi-disant ''Monstre Sacre du cinema francais'' a un double sens...
