Following the publication of this simply captioned video “At dusk“, Mélanie Thierry received many messages of support, love and recognition for having shared this intimate moment with her companion.
The actress had shared the poster of two films with Gaspard Ulliel, The Princess of Montpensier, released in November 2010 and which they had defended a few months earlier together at the Cannes Film Festival, sharing the mythical climb of the steps. The two actors met again a few years later in The dancer by Stéphanie Di Giusto, released in September 2016. They shared the bill with Lily-Rose Depp and Soko. So many memories which make the mourning of Mélanie Thierry difficult and which pushed her to pay tribute to Gaspard Ulliel in a poignant message published a few hours after the funeral on Instagram.
“It was then the last appointment, we always met not far away, rue Montmartre, rue Bachaumont, rue Montorgueil, always one-on-one, and today, there were so many of us to celebrate you, Saint Eustache is witness, you were so loved, and it is dazzling and overwhelming to discover how your group of friends, straight out of a film by Sautet, or a film by Cassavetes cherished you“, she wrote to the one who was her friend and whom she used to see on a daily basis. “Your little boy was promised that they will always be there for him. Rest in peace Gaspard“, she concluded, mentioning Orso, the 6-year-old boy that Gaspard Ulliel had had with his ex-girlfriend, the model Gaëlle Pietri.
