Pierre Niney pays a vibrant tribute to Gaspard Ulliel: “He has always been totally elegant”

As the big ceremony of the Césars du cinema which will take place this Friday, February 25 and will be broadcast on Canal +, the actor Pierre Niney was the guest ofAs an aside. Indeed, this Tuesday, February 22, on Nathalie Levy’s show, the 32-year-old actor notably returned to his relationship with Gaspard Ulliel, who left us on January 19.

Indeed, the two actors had been put in competition a few years ago when they had both slipped into the skin of the designer Yves Saint Laurent for two different projects (Yves Saint Laurent for Pierre Niney and Saint Laurent for Gaspard Ulliel). Also, the native of Boulogne-Billancourt said: “We exchanged during our shoots, which was strange. Because when I finished mine, he started his. There were two productions, all the same, which were engaged in a little war of cinema. That, really boosted by the media who wanted to oppose the projects, to simplify the situation… And to sell. We know that the clash is more seller than the nuance.

He then did not fail to pay tribute to the late 37-year-old actor: “Gaspard, in the middle of that, has always been elegant, benevolent, totally kind (…) He was someone with a very big heart and it really makes me feel strange to talk about him in the past tense.“In this emotional sequence, Pierre Niney recalled a particular period in the life of the two actors, also linked by their personal trajectory. “At that time, we were chatting a bit. We both rode motorcycles, we became dads at almost the same time. So we talked a few times about these things, he explained, before concluding, he was not a close friend, but the way he always behaved with me, when everything was pushing us to probably be wary of each other, I always found that very classy on his part.
