This Wednesday, January 8, Brigitte Fossey was a guest on the set of the talk show Chez Jordan. During the interview, the C8 host asked her about the Depardieu affair. And it is without filter that the emblematic actress of La Boum gave her clear opinion.
“Gérard has always been an ogre”
“I don’t understand all these stories” began the actress “ because everyone knows that Gérard has always been an ogre, a clown. For example, when he arrived to promote Bertrand Blier’s films, he got off the plane saying ‘eat, thirst, wine, Charolais, cheese!’ He’s a character who was constantly out of the norm. » she explains. “When he speaks, of all the subjects he talks about, it is always in a ‘huge’ way. It’s Rabelaisian, it’s on its scale“.
“Gérard has always been very, very, well behaved with me”
And to add concerning the treatment of this affair in the media “I find that we cannot judge someone before justice gets involved. How is it possible to point the finger and say ‘he is guilty’? We are in a country of democracy, and we must let justice do its work. “Signatory of the platform in defense of Gérard Depardieu, the actress continues”I testified to the fact that Gérard was always very, very, well behaved with me, and very correct”
“Depardieu who spends his time raving”
The 78-year-old actress confides that she also spoke with Julie Depardieuhis father’s legal troubles, “Currently everyone is shunning him and he needs to work, it’s hard” she confided. And to conclude: “ I am a feminist, let me be clear, but simply because I worked with him, I know his nature. Its nature is explosive and you can’t restrain a volcano! If you tell me that we have to put a gag on Depardieu’s mouth who spends his time raving… But it’s a delirium of the verb”
