In Day-to-day, Gérard Depardieu evoked a sensitive subject: that of death. But for the actor, it is not synonymous with suffering. He explains how to live with the disappearance of his friends, since they are still there somewhere near him.
guest in Day-to-day this Tuesday, February 15, Gérard Depardieu was in great shape. The actor had fun Yann Barthes and his band of chroniclers with his anecdotes, sometimes alcoholic. “Every time you come, you tell us that you drink and take your scooter“, remarks the host of TMC. When it is not a question of scooters or bottles of alcohol, the seriousness returns to the set. The one who is currently showing two films has even been very philosophical in evoking a much darker theme: that of death. The actor did not fail to salute the memory of Gaspard Ullielrecently disappeared.
“My little Gaspard”
If there’s one thing the 73-year-old actor isn’t afraid of, it’s death: “I live very well with“, he explains to Yann Barthès, before continuing: “Barbara, my father, my mother, Truffaut, Carmet, Pialat… All these people, I saw them leave. I saw the relaxation on their faces before they left. But that’s fine. Then they are there“, he breathes, placing his hand on his heart. But there are more tragic deaths than others. On January 19, Gaspard Ulliel dies in a tragic skiing accident at the age of 37. In 2018, Gérard Depardieu shared the poster The ends of the world with the one he calls “his little Gaspard” : “The stupidity of this accident… But an accident is always stupid. But followingwards, it’s hard to bear the absence or the emptiness“, he underlines.
“Barbara, I hear it when I sing”
On the set of Day-to-day, Gérard Depardieu wanted to pay tribute to another artist, who holds a very special place in his heart: the singer Barbara. To realize his love for her, Gérard Depardieu even dedicated an album of covers to him in 2017. For him, “impossible to imagine death” since the departed beings who are dear to him are still there. Thus, their disappearances do not create “empty”. Like Barbara: “I hear it when I sing. She’s there“, he confides.
“The missing are still within us. When I sing Barbara, she is there. »
