In 2008, he starred in “Asterix at the Olympic Games“, notably with Clovis Cornillac in the title role of the Gaul with the blond mustache, and of course Gérard Depardieu in the role of Obélix. Farid Khider played a Greek javelin thrower. Guest this October 2, 2023 on the set of “At Jordan’s“, the boxer gave news of the latter, who has become a friend.
“We’re using Gérard to create buzz”
The 48-year-old sportsman, seen in the third season of “The Celebrity Farm” in 2010, explained in particular that together, they had written a sort of “French Rocky”, adapted from his life, which is currently being signed with Netflix. Gérard Depardieu would have a role, which has not yet been revealed.
Regarding the serious accusations of rape weighing on him – he has been indicted for rape since 2020 – the actor shared a platform yesterday in the Figaro
where he assures: “I can no longer consent to what I hear, what I have been reading about myself for several months. I thought I didn’t care, but no, actually no. All of this is getting to me. Worse still, it’s turning me off“. This October 2, 2023, in the Jordan de Luxe show, which was recorded a few days ago, his friend defended: “concerning Gérard’s affairs, the bad press always hurts, it’s not funny because he gets over it. He knows there’s a lot of bullshit in what’s being said and we use it by Gérard to create a buzz”.
“He is serene”
He who was sure that his friend would not speak out on these matters – “He’s not going to lower himself to that!” – estimated “he knows what he’s worth, I can’t tell you everything, but there are lots of things, in any case it’s with time, we’ll let justice do its work, and you’ll see that there will have good news. But he is calm”.
