The pain is still extremely strong three days after the brutal death of Gaspard Ulliel. Carried away far too early, at the age of 37, the actor did not survive after being the victim of a skiing accident on January 18, 2022 in the La Rosière area, in Savoie. The last farewell has been organized in the last few days…
Gaspard Ulliel’s funeral will take place on Thursday January 27 at 11 a.m. in the Saint-Eustache church in Paris. Information transmitted by his agent Laurent Grégoire to AFP this Saturday.

Since the death of Gaspard Ulliel, the tributes continue. The world of cinema is struggling to recover after this sudden disappearance. His friend Jérémie Rénier, who was to be present yesterday on the show The original band of Nagui on France Inter, did not have the strength to go there. “Jérémie Rénier was to be our guest today. Struck, like everyone in the cinema, by the premature departure of Gaspard Ulliel and bereaved by this death, he preferred not to come. He made the choice to be with the friends and family of Gaspard Ulliel and we totally understand him“, Nagui informed the listeners. Jérémie Rénier was to ensure the promotion of The Enemy with Alma Jodorowsky and Stephan Streker.
Gaspard Ulliel – father of a little boy named Orso (6 years old) and in a relationship since 2013 with the model Gaëlle Pietri – was known to the general public for films like A long engagement Sunday (2004) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Saint Laurent (2014) by Bertrand Bonello and Just the end of the world (2016) by Xavier Dolan, which won him the César for best actor in 2017. He played a writer reuniting with his family after twelve years of absence, to whom he came to announce his impending death. During an eclectic career, Gaspard Ulliel had toured alongside big names in cinema, such as Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu. With his slight scar linked to a dog scratch in childhood, he was also the face of a Chanel perfume. He led a career in France but also internationally and will be featured in the Marvel series “Moon Knight”, broadcast from March 30 on Disney +.
The actor with crazy magnetism was recently filming for a series of Xavier Giannoli expected on Canal +, reported his agent to AFP, and had finished filming More than ever, alongside Vicky Krieps and Liv Ullmann.
An investigation was entrusted by the public prosecutor’s office of Albertville (Savoie) to the CRS Alpes to clarify the circumstances of the fatal collision between Gaspard Ulliel and another skier, which occurred in the resort of La Rosière, in Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
