French actor Gaspard Ulliel has died following a skiing accident in the Alps.
The accident occurred on Tuesday (18 January).
Following news of the accident, broadcaster France Bleu claimed that the actor was in “serious condition”.
The accident took place in the Savoie region of the Alps and an investigation is currently underway as to what happened.
The mountain police service serving the site of the accident said it has been organizing five or six rescues per day in recent days as the snow has hardened.
Also known as the male face of Bleu de Chanel, Ulliel was also set to be seen in upcoming Marvel series Moon Knight alongside Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke.
Working in both English and French films, he worked with acclaimed directors such as Xavier Dolan and Gus Van Sant.
Ulliel received praise in France for his performances in Summer Things and Strayed, both of which he was nominated for Most Promising Actor at the Cesar Awards.
He later won the award for his performance in A Very Long Engagement which he starred in alongside Marion Cotillard, Audrey Tatou and Jodie Foster.
