The world of the 7ᵉ art is in mourning. And for good reason, the american actor James Caan died at the age of 82 years. “It is with great sadness that we inform you of Jimmy’s passing on the evening of July 6,” informed his entourage on Twitter. “The family appreciates the outpouring of love and sincere condolences, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
In the process, Matt DelPiano, the star’s manager also released a press release to AFP. During his career, James Caan has worked with the greatest directors. Native of New York, the actor marked his admirers with his essential roles. In particular that of “Sonny Corleone” in the film The Godfather of Francis Ford Coppola to quote only this one.
“I am extremely sad to learn of his departure…”
Impossible to overlook Misery, Le Solitaire or even Rollerball in which the artist distinguished himself brilliantly. His talent has inspired other big names in cinema. Like Guillaume Canet. This Friday, July 8, 2022, the happy father of two children took to his social networks to pay him a final tribute.
“I’ve had the chance as a director to experience wonderful things and if there’s one thing I’m really proud of, it’s having had the honor of making a film with James Caan”said the main interested party via his Instagram story. “I grew up with his films, an absolute fan of this US cinema of the 70s. Meeting him, filming him was one of the greatest gifts that life gave me (…). The first day and all the others that followed, on a difficult shoot, he never stopped supporting me in this crazy adventure.
Over time, the duo even seems to have become very complicit. “I am extremely sad to learn of his departure”, added Guillaume Canet with a heavy heart. “ I will therefore continue to love him and see him again in my dreams! Thanks Jimmy! My warmest thoughts to all his family! Rest in Peace my friend! »
