Paris – A larger than life figure with a career – and a reputation – to match, Gérard Depardieu is among the few stars of French cinema to be equally well known outside the country. On Tuesday, he was found guilty by a Paris court of sexually assaulting two women on a film set in 2021.
One of the most prolific actors in film history, Depardieu has appeared in more than 200 films and television series since his on-screen debut in 1967, working with directors including Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Alain Resnais, Claude Chabrol, Ridley Scott and Bernardo Bertolucci.
