RIP Guillaume Depardieu
Via Greencine some sad news – Guillaume Depardieu, the 37 year-old son of Gérard Depardieu, a fine and very busy and highly acclaimed actor in his own right, has died, reportedly from pneumonia. As reported in the Guardian, He’d been suffering from a number of severe health problems in the wake of a 2003 motorcycle accident including an infection that forced the amputation of one of his legs.
I’ve only seen the younger Depardieu in one film — a frighteningly strong performance in Leos Carax’s very strange and compelling, Pola X – a film that is much too good to have been known mainly because of a hardcore sex scene featuring Depardieu and a body double — but he made a definite impression. A shame.
