October 30, 2005
PARIS (Reuters) – Actor Gerard Depardieu is ending his film
career, a newspaper quoted the popular Frenchman as saying on
Sunday.
“I have nothing to lose. I have made 170 films. I have
nothing left to prove. I am not going to hang on like an
idiot,” Depardieu, one of France’s best known actors at home
and abroad, was quoted as saying by Le Parisien Dimanche
newspaper.
“I’m in the process of stopping filming,” said the portly
star of films such as “Cyrano de Bergerac,” “Green Card” and
“Jean de Florette.”
Depardieu, 56, made the comments on the set of the upcoming
French film “Michou d’Auber.” He would also star in an Asterix
film to be made next year, the paper said.
