Gerard Depardieu

Date of Birth: 27/12/1948

Largest French actor Gerard Depardieu present more than once called "the real heir of Jean Gabin". In such a comparison and a reference to the ugly appearance, but terribly charming and charismatic actor, and the recognition of his outstanding talent.


Depardieu was born December 27, 1948, Mr.. in the small town of Chateauroux in a poor large family roofer. In addition to Gerard, the father had to feed five hungry mouths to feed. In 12 years, Gerard ran away from home, wandering in the French countryside, sometimes found himself behind bars for petty theft. But accidentally got into drama school, carried away the art, began to read a lot and, like nuggets Lomonosov, almost barefoot went to conquer the capital. In 16 years enrolled in courses of dramatic art Dyulena, completing acting school п?.п . Cochet worked in an amateur troupe of "Cafe de la Gare". Ever since the mid 60-ies. Began to appear sporadically in film, but the real actor's film career dated to the year 1971. After a small role in the melodrama Jacques Dere "little sun in cold water" (1971) on the popular novel by Francoise Sagan movies Depardieu come one after the other - only in 1972. he starred in 8 films with such diverse directors as a strong artisan Jose Giovanni, or experiment avangardistka Marguerite Duras. Frenzied performance Depardieu retains to this day, which gives reason to poke fun at him. In 1994. Michel Blanc lift satirical comedy "Intrigue of glory" about the director, pursued his own doppelganger. One of the many jokes about the stars and their doubles offends the honor and dignity of Depardieu, who was indeed in his old age has become so illegible that may appear in the "Bimbolende" (1998) or "Man in the Iron Mask" (1998). Friends console Blanc, suggest how you can benefit from the double: Here, for example, Gerard, probably uses a few - or how much he manages to be removed!
