Gérard Depardieu was born in a very ordinary family in the French town of Chattonou on December 27th, 1948. In the 195s, an American army was stationed in Chattonu. In his childhood, Depardieu was very interested in "American-flavored" things, dressed and used to being an American. Deep in his mind, he began to look for a family life that suited him. "I can probably be classified into what people call lonely and unsociable children. When I was a teenager who regarded my life as the first part, I always thought about another family life. It can even be said that I always dreamed of having a family that is more suitable for me and has many children. "
among local peers, Depardieu is strong and courageous. In order to give his classmates a surprise, he dared to sneak into the US military base to skate and play bowling, and successfully got into a duty-free shop dedicated to the US garrison. Afterwards, he vividly described the situation at that time. "I mixed with Americans and walked in casually. I first asked them if they smoked or drank, bought ration cards for those who didn't drink or smoke, and then resold the cigarettes and whisky bought with the ration cards to the local French. The money earned was immediately used to buy jeans, T-shirts, hamburgers and fried potatoes. This small business makes my little life comfortable. " With the increase of contact with Americans, Depardieu's resistance to his family became stronger, and he dreamed of having an American-style family.
The real family life is very different from his ideal family life, which has made little Depardieu feel that life is boring enough. The study life at school made him even more depressed. He always hated going to school. The teacher looked at him with special respect because he didn't want to go to school and his grades were poor, which further aggravated his mentality. If he was proud of anything when he was a child at school, it was that his sports performance was excellent. At the age of 13, when he dropped out of school, he wore several disgraceful "titles" on his head: poor grades, indiscipline, stealing ... Depardieu, who was at home after Gérard Depardieu dropped out of school, no longer felt the sense of oppression at school. I started to pursue the world of my life with nothing to do. He started out as an apprentice in a printing factory. Later, he decided to go to the boxing club in town to practice boxing. At the beginning, although Depardieu showed a good attack in boxing, he obviously lacked skills and flexibility. In a training session, his once ordinary Gaul nose was deformed by the opponent's punch. This injury made his family and friends look at him with new eyes. More interestingly, his nose has become one of his most striking features since then. After he became famous, fans affectionately called him "cyrano de bergerac" and "Depardieu with a big nose". After strict training, Depardieu became an excellent boxer. And won the nickname "Xia Tonu Little Overlord".
Many people speculated that Depardieu would be a robber or something with his iron fists. Depardieu said, "I never dreamed of being a robber at that time. Many people who want to take revenge on society have done so, but I won't, because in my opinion, people who do so are tantamount to idiots. But then again, like the harsh environment I live in, whether you like it or not, violence is always a part of life. You have to face possible violence every day; Either you leave this hellhole, or you may be attacked by violence at some time. " When he was still in his teens, Depardieu did what his father always wanted to do but failed to do: he saw the sea. "I was the first person in my family to see the sea." Having said that, Depardieu is still immersed in proud memories.
it is his ideal to live a completely different life from his parents. He got on the station wagon again and again, and every time he changed his identity. This is both an exciting game and an effective training method for him. "If you want to hitchhike. But with a sad face, then no one will stop to take you. But if you learn to be good and learn to let strangers accept you, then you will succeed. " Gérard Depardieu's experience of looking for a job before his career as an actor has a great influence on his future growth. In the famous scenic spot of the south of France, La Cote d 'Azur, Depardieu was lucky enough to meet a good friend who led him to the film industry. His name is Michel Piroger, who is three years older than him. He is shy, steady and gentle. He comes from a well-off doctor family. It is really fate that two completely different people meet and become good friends.
Michelle is studying in Paris, and his father wants his son to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue medicine. However, like many French youths in the 196s, Michelle decided to go her own way. At this time, he is only interested in one thing: acting and being a movie actor. Encouraged by Michelle, Depardieu also went to Paris together. Depardieu, a man with nothing, had he not known Michelle's experience while working in the beach, I'm afraid there would be a lack of an emperor superstar in the French film industry.
Depardieu is not the first time to study in Paris. He once spent a holiday at his grandmother's house in Paris, and had a superficial understanding of Paris. He lived with Michelle, and gradually Depardieu became curious about drama under his influence. Finally, one day, Michelle decided to take him to see how they had classes. Depardieu, the young man who vowed never to step into the classroom again, finally accepted Michelle's invitation.
The content of the class that night was to train performance skills under the guidance of Professor Lv Xian Arnault. Students volunteered to go on stage and perform some actions, while others tried to figure out the meaning. The teacher was responsible for commenting and correcting their performances. "It's incredible what happened that night. Not long after that, Professor Lv Xian Arnault found me and said to me,' Come on stage tonight and try it!' God, I've never been so lucky before. Michelle has been studying here for months and hasn't had a chance to perform on stage yet. "Depardieu recalled cheerfully. Michelle tried to persuade Depardieu to make an excuse to refuse, but he didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the stage. As soon as he got on the stage, he began to smile. "I took to the stage and regarded the stage background under the light as Xia Tonu, followed my feelings, and with the inspiration at that time and my life experience when I was young, I imagined myself in the face of the police that year. The only way to get rid of the police early was to reckon with him. On the stage, I didn't say a word, I just laughed foolishly, and then I almost laughed hysterically. The whole classroom was boiling, and I even finished the performance without saying anything. "
Depardieu soon became the eye-catching star in the class of Professor Jean-Roland Gaucher, who embodies the bravery and boldness of a boxer and the delicacy and sensitivity of a romantic poet. A girl in Paris has always been attracted by Depardieu's charm. She recalled: "He is very different, and he is a unique person in every way." Her name is Elizabeth Guineroo, and she is also a different person in Professor Gao Xie's class. She is older than her classmates. When she entered this class, she was already an actress with certain performance experience. At the same time, she was high flyers of the famous Sorbonne University in Paris, and she was preparing to defend her doctoral thesis in psychology. It is said that the aristocratic history of her family can be traced back to the eleventh century. Although Elizabeth has an enviable family background, she doesn't have the stale flavor of those aristocratic ladies at all. In her heart, she is more like a rebel and poetess with sentimental and artistic talent. When recalling their love experience, she said, "I was not attracted to him at once, but he made me curious. The closer I got to him, the more I felt that he was different. He had a kind of frankness and naturalness of' clear water makes hibiscus, and natural carving'."
If social status, appearance and other conditions are taken into account, I'm afraid it's hard to find a partner as different as them. When they first met, Elizabeth was a beautiful 23-year-old Miss Paris, and Depardieu was a 17-year-old farmer from other provinces. She is less than 1.5 meters tall and weighs just 5 kilograms, which is the weight when Depardieu put a big hand on her shoulder. As for him, he is tall and strong. Elizabeth now felt that he had an honest, upright and kind heart that was more important than words. "It is this precious heart that makes me believe that he is the one I am looking for-even though our conditions are very different. But what's more important than love?
For several months, both sides understood each other, and no one broke the paper. By 1968, the attraction of both sides had become irresistible. When performing "The Moon is Blue" with Elizabeth, Depardieu described the feeling at that time: "In the soft light, I saw a pair of blue eyes and many blue things, even the skirt was blue, and it was just right to be decorated with white. My heart can't help but move: such a person is really ideal as a wife. " Elizabeth, on the other hand, said, "Obviously, we will live together. He is like the last picture in a jigsaw puzzle to me, and my life is complete without him." Elizabeth became his life teacher, enabling him to understand a world of women with elegant taste in an atmosphere he had never experienced before, and guiding him to explore knowledge and culture together. Before I met Elizabeth, I didn't even know how to talk to women. I never tasted love, and I couldn't express my feelings in words.
When I first met Depardieu, he felt a little sorry for himself and gave up on himself. He didn't even know who he really was, and he had no goals and ideals in life.
Not having a goal in life and not knowing yourself is a terrible defect for most people, but Elizabeth thinks it is not a bad thing for an artist like Depardieu. "He has no stereotypes, so there is a lot of room for shaping, no restrictions and no constraints, unlike some young people who just listen to their mothers all day saying,' You are beautiful like this, but you don't look good like that'. He doesn't know these rules and regulations, so he can shape himself as he wishes, without restriction or reservation. I think the defects mentioned above are actually a good thing in a sense. In the field of art, the less external constraints an artist has, the more he can exert his artistic talent and get closer to real art. " Gérard Depardieu is a hedonist in life. He owns private wineries and restaurants, and he has a great interest in food. In the English version of personal cookbook released this week, he even said that he always wanted to be a butcher. Depardieu grew up in Chatroux, a small town in the south of Paris. He revealed that when he was a child, his parents could only afford meat in the first week of every month, and the only meat available at that time was horse meat. Eyes linger on beautiful women as much as on pieces of meat in the butcher's shop window. This "cyrano de bergerac" wrote in his new book My Cookbook.
Depardieu has an unusual love for food. He and his girlfriend carole bouquet, both actors, own two restaurants in Paris. "Wine has a soul." Depardieu wrote in this 22-page new book, which also includes dozens of recipes and photos of him busy working in the kitchen.
Depardi bought his first vineyard in Burgundy, which is rich in red wine, about 3 years ago. It is reported that he got drunk and went on TV, and insulted a book reviewer who criticized his new book on the spot. In his book, he said: "If I still have an ideal that I haven't realized yet, it is to look after vineyards and make wine like a real artist." Gerard Depardieu, one of the symbols of French films, announced the day before yesterday that he was about to retire.
"cyrano de bergerac" said: After making 17 films, there is nothing to prove. Don't want to stick to it like a fool. I'm ending my film career, and I'm rushing back and enjoying the scenery.
Depardieu will switch to other cultural industries after his retirement. He just starred in an opera at the Montpellier Radio Festival in France. Depardieu said that he likes operas, musicals and experimental dramas, and hopes to have time and energy to participate in these live performances after his retirement. On January 3, 213, the website of the Russian Kremlin released a message, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a presidential decree granting French movie star Depardieu Russian citizenship. The reason is that France's personal income tax rate of more than 1 million euros per year has increased to 75%. In Russia, he will face a 13% flat tax.
said he was very happy to learn that President Putin approved his request, and said that he loved Russia and praised it as a great democracy. He expressed his love for Putin in a letter sent to Russian TV 1, saying that he hoped to move to a village and learn Russian at the same time. He wrote, "I love your country, Russia, your people, history and writers," he added, "My father was a * * * producer and listened to Moscow radio, which became part of my culture."
To approve Depardieu's naturalization as a Russian citizen, and meet Depardieu's request for naturalization as a Russian citizen according to Chapter 89 "A" of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
For this famous French actor who won Caesar Award twice, he moved to Belgium for tax avoidance. French Prime Minister Erro publicly commented on TV programs that it was "very sad". And this evaluation became the fuse that completely "forced" Depardieu out of France.
Errol's comments made Depardieu very unfair. Depardieu, 63, immediately sent an open letter to French Prime Minister Errol in the Sunday newspaper, saying, "I am not worthy of pity or admiration, but at least I should not be called' pathetic'." He concluded. In this open letter, Depardieu said that he had returned his French passport, claiming that "I don't ask for approval, but at least I have the right to be respected!" According to Depardieu's introduction in an open letter, he was "born in 1948. He began to be a printer and cargo hold manager at the age of 14, and then began to engage in the profession of an actor. I have been paying taxes. " In the past 45 years, this working-class actor, who can almost be called the most prolific actor in France, paid about 145 million euros in taxes, and he hired 8 employees.
Depardieu has his own winery in France, real estate in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Algeria and Ukraine. In addition, he also owns three restaurants, a fish shop and a motorcycle shop in Paris, and has written many cookbooks about French cuisine.
on February 23rd, 213, it was officially registered as a resident in Mordova, Russia and Saransk, the capital of China. The Fantasy Drifting of Juvenile School (212)
