If a platform in support of Gérard Depardieu
was signed by many personalities this Monday, December 25, 2023, Sophie Marceau
is not one of them. And for good reason, the actress, now 57 years old, does not have good memories of her collaboration with the 74-year-old actor. It was in 1985 that the two collaborated for Maurice Pialat’s film, Police.
Then aged 18 at the time, the one who suddenly gained notoriety for her role in Claude Pinoteau’s film, The party, released in 1980, gives the answer to the sacred monster of French cinema. On July 19, 2023, in The world, Sophie Marceau remembered a chaotic shoot during which Gérard Depardieu
supported by Maurice Pialat according to his statements, would have installed a “power relationship” on the tray. Worse still, he would have redoubled his imagination to humiliate her.

Gérard Depardieu insistent with Sophie Marceau
According to the 57-year-old actress, the actor who has sparked controversy since his indictment in 2020 for rape and sexual assault and the broadcast of Further investigationon December 7, for example, would have eaten snails before filming a scene with her. The goal ? Inflicting foul breath on him during a sequence during which he was close to Sophie Marceau. This goes further and evokes another example. Particularly when she filmed a scene in a bed with the sacred monster of French cinema.
The latter would not have hesitated to place his hands on her with gestures “invisible on camera” and never mentioned in the script. “He never dared to touch me in front of the team, otherwise he would have been punched in the face. But with the poor dressers…”, lamented the actress. Still according to the actress, Gérard Depardieu and Maurice Pialat formed an infernal duo, “very macho”. The director even asked his actor to actually slap Sophie Marceau so that a police interrogation scene is as credible as possible.
