I’m going to describe the French actor Gerard Xavier Marcel Depardieu. I’m going to write about him, because he has a good sense of humour and because he is a great actor. He was born on 27 December 1948 in Chatearoux, Indre, France. His family was pretty poor, he finished primary school when he was 12 years old. When he was 16 years old, he moved to Paris with his friend. He is the third child of mother Anne Jeanne Josephe Depardieu  (before she got married her surname was Marillier) and father Rene Maxime Lionel Depardieu.

They have five children. His dad was a metal worker, alcoholic and volunteer fireman. For Christmas they got only one orange. He was very excited about America. He is known for his acting in theatre plays, some movies and comedies. I know him from the movie Asterix and Obelix. His first wife was Elisabeth Guignot Depardieu and they were married from 1970 to 1996. With Elisabeth he had one son and one daughter. His son was Guillaum Depardieu (1971 – 2003). He died at the age of 38, because of a pneumonia virus. In 1992 he got a daughter Roxanne with Karine Sylla. With Elisabeth he had a daughter Julia (1973), she is also an actor. With Helene Bizot he had a son called Jean (2006). In June 2000 Gerard had a heart operation and afterwards he was full of  energy. With Carole Bouquet he has a restaurant » La Fontaine Gaillon.« They got divorced two years after opening the restaurant. Since 2005 he has lived with Clementine Igou, a French writer.

He was nominated for the OSCAR AWARD in 1990. He got the CESAR award 14 times.

And a thought in French: “Moi je voudrais français beau langue.”
