The years pass but no one forgets Guillaume Depardieu. The actor, taken away at the age of 37 after contracting an infection and pneumonia, remains anchored in the minds of those whose paths he crossed. That of Clotilde Courau particularly.
The two actors were in a relationship at the end of the 1990s. Despite their separation, the two exes had kept a lot of consideration for each other. As proof, this Thursday, April 7, Guillaume Depardieu would have been 51 years old. A symbolic date that Clotilde Courau always keeps in the back of her mind. This is the reason why she paid tribute to him in her Instagram story.
Clotilde Courau posted a photo of her and Guillaume Depardieu at the time of their love (see the slideshow). A black and white shot on which the two lovers stare intently at the lens. To accompany this memory, a handful of words that say a lot about the affection that the Princess of Savoy had for the son of Gérard Depardieu: “Love once, love always. Don’t deny or forget anything. To remember your light and make it still alive. Happy birthday dear.“
The couple formed by Clotilde Courau and Guillaume Depardieu lasted only a few months following their meeting on the set of the film Martha by Jean-Loup Hubert. After their breakup, the two actors have rebuilt their lives. He with Elise Ventre, the mother of his daughter Louise, whom he divorced in 2006. She with Emmanuel-Philibert, Prince of Savoy, whom she married in 2003 and with whom she had two daughters, Vittoria, 18 and Louisa, 15 years old.
Clotilde Courau attended the funeral of Guillaume Depardieu in 2008. Despite her five years of common life with her husband, the actress was devastated by this last farewell slipped to her ex-companion, as he transformed her: “This love of youth gave me the strength to live my life and never deny or forget anything.” she confided to Gala in 2019. Since then, each date, each birthday is the perfect opportunity to remember a little more of the one whose life she shared. A few intense months that prove that even separated, we can continue to be united by love forever.
