Gérard Depardieu affair: Sophie Marceau evokes in Paris Match the actor’s “very inappropriate” attitude – (France info)
After the platform in support of the actor, signed by 50 personalities, actress Sophie Marceau speaks in Paris Match. She affirms that Gérard Depardieu did not “attack the great actresses but rather the assistants”.
His voice counts in the world of French cinema. Sophie Marceau returned in Paris Match on the actor’s inappropriate behavior during the film Police, in 1985, when she was 19 years old. “I said publicly at the time that I could not stand his rude and very inappropriate attitude. Many people then turned against me, making me look like a little pest.“, she describes.
A “generational” question
“He did not attack the great actresses, rather the little assistants…Vulgarity and provocation have always been his stock in trade.” adds the actress. Gérard Depardieu is today indicted for rape and sexual assault. Cinema has been divided since the broadcast of Complementary Investigation. More than 50 artists, including his ex-partner Carole Bouquet, Nathalie Baye and Pierre Richard, wrote an article in support of the artist.
For Michelle Dayan, lawyer and activist for “Lawyers for Women”, it’s a generational question: “it’s a generation that is not that of the neo-feminists, the post-MeToo for whom consent is essential.” Sophie Marceau had already denounced the actor’s behavior last July.
