“It’s incredible, insane, and so painful to even think of writing those words. Your discreet laughter, your watchful eye. Your scar. Your talent. Your listening. Your whispers, your kindness. All the features of your person were in fact born of a sparkling sweetness. It is your whole being that has transformed my life, a being that I loved deeply, and that I will always love. I can’t say anything else, I’m gutted, stunned by your leaving“, wrote Xavier Dolan on Instagram, captioning a portrait of Gaspard Ulliel. The director, who directed the deceased in the film Just The End Of The World (released in 2016) still doesn’t realize the actor is missing. His feeling is reinforced by the many dreams he has of him.
“I still have a lot of difficulties to realize, to accept. I dream a lot of himsays Xavier Dolan in As an aside. I dream of him one night out of three, four. Dreams that are sometimes quite cruel (…), a little hyper-realistic where you think you’re really in reality and then the awakening is even more brutal. We really believed in it, we thought we were in real life.“
Gaspard Ulliel was 37 years old.
