France and the world of cinema mourn the death of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who died this Wednesday at the age of 37, one day after suffering a spectacular skiing accident.
The BFM TV network, which advanced the news, has reported that the double winner of the César award was unable to recover from the severe head injury after a collision with another skier at the La Rosière resort, in the French Alps, where he was recovered by helicopter and transferred to Grenoble hospital. There he has remained internal in a state of maximum gravity until today.
The Albertville Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation to clarify the causes of the accident
The Albertville Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation to clarify the causes of the accident. His agent has detailed that at the time of the events, the interpreter was skiing a blue slope.
Born in 1984, the interpreter received the César for Best Newcomer at the age of 21 for his performance in Long Sunday of Engagement, by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, where he worked alongside Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard. Again in 2017, he was awarded, this time with the César for best actor, for his role in the film by Canadian Xavier Dolan, Only the end of the world.
He put himself in the shoes of the murderer Hannibal Lecter in his youth, which confirmed him as one of the French actors with the greatest international career. The Marvel series Caballero Luna (Moon knight), in which he participated, is pending release.
The reactions to death have not been long in coming. One of the first has been, Jean Castex, who lamented this Wednesday the tragic loss of the young actor. “From now on we will see with our hearts in our fists his most beautiful performances and his particular look. We are losing a French actor,” the prime minister said on Twitter.
Handsome, with a small scar on his face that he kept from childhood, Ulliel shot alongside great stars such as Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu, and also advertised a Chanel perfume.
The actor was skiing in La Rosière (Savoy) when he suffered the accident, according to sources who confirmed information from the BFMTV news network.
