“But yes, but yes, school is out” sang Sheila in 1963. The title has never been as topical as it is now. On this weekend eve, some schoolchildren will not return to the classroom until September. Among them, Orso, the little boy born of the relationship between Gaëlle Pietri, model and actor Gaspard Ulliel.The blond head, aged 6, is therefore living his last hours with his mistress and his comrades.
As his very proud mother indicates in an Instagram story (see slideshow), Orso has started his “last day of kindergarten.” An observation which, according to the emoji with which she accompanied these few words, provokes a lot of emotions in Gaëlle Pietri. But nothing was left to chance to mark the occasion of this new stage in life. of his son. To celebrate this day of celebration, Orso dressed up. Like a savior, his choice fell on a costume of a brave knight with, of course, all the paraphernalia that goes with it: shield, sword, weapons made of wood, there was something to be impressed by this panoply, an image that would no doubt have made his dad proud.
If Gaspard Ulliel was always very discreet about his daily dad, Orso has never attracted so much light since the death of the actor. Last January, the 37-year-old actor, on a family ski vacation, was the victim of a serious skiing accident. Helicoptered in critical condition, Gaspard Ulliel was finally declared dead, following injuries caused by his collision with another skier. On learning this terrible news, the world of cinema collapsed, like Gaëlle Pietri, his ex-girlfriend and mother of Orso, as well as Vicky Krieps, to whom he had given the reply and who would have been his last companion.
A month later, the 47th Cesar ceremony took place. An event bringing together the 7th art during which Xavier Dolan, close friend of the deceased actor, had delivered a speech in the form of a letter addressed to the mother of Gaspard Ulliel: “I couldn’t help but think he would have hated that kind of praise. He would have perceived, I think, in this glorification, a lack of elegance. And he was very eleganthe read. Gaspard was often the one who listens or who does not speak. We talked about his discretion, his gentleness, the mystery he did not cultivate, by his own admission, intentionally. It seemed natural to me to write to you this evening. I immediately thought of you that morning because a mother’s love is stronger than anything. I believe him. Stronger than life. Stronger than art itself. And stronger, certainly, than death.” Shocking.
