Knowing glory for years and being recognized as an emblematic French actor does not prevent bankruptcy… This Tuesday, June 13, 2023, we discover that it is the famous French actor Jean-Pierre Léaud who is currently facing significant moral and financial difficulties.
On Twitter, film buff Thierry Barnaudt has just made a publication to express his support for Jean-Pierre Léaud. “We were talking about him yesterday, today Jean Pierre Leaud needs help. I checked the info with Serge Toubiana, the following kitty is in support of the artist” he declared before to share the link of a Leetchi kitty.
In description of this famous kitty, we can thus understand why the relatives of Jean-Pierre Léaud have come to mobilize. “When with a few film-loving friends, we created the Friends of François Truffaut in 1988, his favorite actor, Jean-Pierre Léaud, despite his sadness, responded present and encouraged our initiative. He is now a discreet but benevolent observer of our exchanges on Facebook and his wife Brigitte is a loyal member” can we read.

His friend Serge Toubiana, who witnessed this worrying situation, has just decided to mobilize his many contacts in the world of cinema and to appeal to their generosity. The funds it will collect will be entirely paid to Jean-Pierre and Brigitte to meet medical needs, rest and undoubtedly administrative and living assistance” is- he then writes in the description of the kitty.
