'He is shocked': Gerard Depardieu was accused of raping a 20-year-old actress

The French prosecutor's office has again opened an investigation against the actor Gerard Depardieu on charges of raping a young actress. We are talking about the events that allegedly took place in Depardieu's Paris apartment in August 2018. The name of the alleged victim was not disclosed, writes Air force.

The famous actor’s lawyer confirmed to AFP that an investigation was indeed underway against him, but said that Depardieu “completely rejects” the accusations and information about the actions of prosecutors should have remained secret.

Two years ago, the actor’s lawyer responded to these accusations as follows: “Gerard Depardieu is shocked. This accusation is contrary to who he is and what he respects.”

According to French media, the 20-year-old actress filed a complaint against Depardieu at the end of August 2018. In 2019, Parisian prosecutors closed the investigation, but resumed it again in 2020.

A formal investigation against Depardieu was launched last December. During this process, prosecutors must decide whether to formalize charges against the actor.

According to the newspaper Le Mond, the family of the actress who reported the crime knows Depardieu.

“There was absolutely nothing professional about it,” an informed source told the publication.

Russian citizenship and Orthodoxy

Gerard Depardieu is one of the most famous French actors, he has starred in more than 180 films.

He became a symbol of French cinema thanks to roles such as Olmo Dalco in Bertolucci's The Twentieth Century and Cyrano de Bergerac in the film of the same name, for which he received the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Oscar.

Depardieu's star rose in 1974 after the release of the film Waltzing by director Bertrand Blier. The actor played roles in a variety of roles - from classical drama to modern comedy.

In 2013, Depardieu sparked an outcry in France by leaving the country to protest high taxes for the rich and adopting Russian citizenship.

The decree granting the French actor Russian citizenship in January 2013 was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

At the same time, Depardieu arrived in Saransk, where the leadership of Mordovia offered him an apartment or a house. In the same month he was awarded the title “Honorary Udmurt”.
