courageous fight against illness. He passed away surrounded by the love of his family.”she wrote. If on social networks, Internet users and certain artists were saddened to learn of his disappearance, the actor did not only have fans… If he was on bad terms with Clovis Cornillac, this was also the case with a great actress .

during a theater performance, which allegedly caused the star to leave the room. In November 2001, on the show We Can't Please Everyone, Niels Arestrup defended himself against his accusations of violence. Faced with Marc-Olivier Fogiel, he exclaimed: “Things are stuck on you, things are said, things are affirmed, but whatever you do, whatever you say, and even if you defend yourself, there is a kind of label that will always stick to your back”.
Isabelle Adjani: “A significant trauma”
Cash, the actor who starred opposite Romain Duris, Tahar Rahim, Thierry Lhermitte, Julie Gayet and Émilie Dequenne added: “I'm not an angel, at all. I try to do my job with passion. I do it with my nature, with my character. I would like to point out, once again, that I have never hit a woman in my life. I swear to you that I did not slap Isabelle Adjani”.
Monday December 2, 2024, it was then that she was contacted by Le Parisien after the announcement of the death of Niels Arestrup that Isabelle Adjani spoke. “Personally, I unfortunately have no
nothing positive to say about the man. My memory of the theater partner remains a striking trauma”she simply replied.
Françoise Fabian: “He was truly a unique man”
For her part, Françoise Fabian did not have the same experience with Niels Arestrup. In the same interview, she declared:
“I admired him enormouslyhe was someone completely rare, very sensitive, very talented, so deep and cultured, a unique actor. I had known him for a long time, when he was a theater director. I absolutely wanted to do a play with him. And he liked me.”.
While they played together in I haven't forgotten anything, in 2010, the actress added: “I had nothing but wonderful dealings with him. He wasn't a mutt at all. On the set, he was very quiet, calm, always there when we needed him, but otherwise quite solitary and secretive. He was the opposite of Gérard (Depardieu), who was very exuberant, all the time on the phone. Niels was very focused, we wondered what he was thinking. He was truly a unique man.”.
