On January 19, the Bad news came from the French film industry: Gaspard Ulliel, a handsome male star who was loved by the French, died in a skiing accident at the age of 37.
The context of the accident seems to be very clear:
At 15:58 p.m. on Tuesday, January 18, the Ski Resort of La Rosière in savoie province received an alarm call that a skier had collided with another skier while crossing the intersection of two blueways (junior and intermediate slopes) (Ullier was turning left at the time of the collision).
The tragedy took place on one of the widest slopes in the region (La Rosière), known to some visitors to the resort as the "boulevard", which leads to the summit of Roc Noir (2,330 meters above sea level).
Rescuers at La Rosière said: "The collision point is located at the fork point where the slope splits in two. There, the terrain rises a bit, so it is necessary to speed up to pass through this small slope. ”
According to skiing rules, people who downhill (who are descending) have priority, while those who cross the pistes need to wait.
Rescuers immediately launched rescue after receiving the call for help, and at 17:15 in the afternoon, the injured were taken by helicopter to the University Hospital of Grenoble. The injured man was later confirmed to be the famous French actor Gaspard Ullier.
Yulier was comatose due to a serious head injury and was admitted to the ICU ward for rescue after arriving at the hospital. Regrettably, however, the young movie star died of his injuries.
According to Dauphiné Libéré, Ullier was not wearing a ski helmet at the time of the accident (France does not stipulate that a helmet must be worn when skiing).
According to French media reports, the skier who collided with Ullier was not in serious trouble, did not flee the scene, and after the accident, he called the police and waited for rescue.
Jérémie Silva, director of the La Rosière Tourism Bureau, said that on the day of the accident, "the weather was good and the snow was good." ”
"It's not a particularly accident-prone place. They were at the fork of a piste track divided into two pistes, the first time such an accident had occurred here. ”
At 15:10 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19, Ullier's agent announced that Ullier had died of his injuries at the age of 37.
When the bad news came, many French people were very shocked and sad, and President Macron, Prime Minister Jean Castel, Minister of Culture Rosceline Baccellot, and Yulier's friends expressed their grief.
Macron said he was "extremely saddened" by the actor's "unexpected death.". Many people in the film world have intersected with the young actor on the set, and have shared each other's joys and sorrows.
Prime Minister Jean Castel also paid tribute to the talented actor: "Gaspard Ullier grew up with the film, the film grew up with him, they loved each other madly... With a heavy heart, we saw his most beautiful interpretation. ”
Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot said she was "as appalled by such an unfair death as many French, a talented and honored actress." "For almost 20 years, he has been with us with great performances."
Gaspard Ullier, despite his young age, has long since become a French A-list movie star.
He has starred in films such as Hannibal Rising, Un long dimanche de fiançailles (The Long Marriage) and Le Pacte Des Loups.)
Attentive viewers may have spotted scars on Gaspard's face, which is said to have been scratched by a dog when he was 6 years old when he tried to ride the dog as a horse. He said the scar enhanced his ability to express emotion because it looked like a dimple.
With the film "Juste la fin du monde", Gaspard won the César Award for best actor with the "French Oscar" and was also nominated for the César Award for Best Actor for "Saint Laurent".
The untimely death of such an outstanding film and television superstar has made his friends and family and fans sigh.
Pierre Niney, a good friend of Gaspard Ullier, tweeted: "Heartbroken. Gaspard is kind and kind, handsome and talented. Thought of his family. ”
Speaking of his family, I have to mention his current girlfriend and son, who just turned 6.
Gaspard Ullier's girlfriend, Gaëlle Pietri, is a model who has been dating since 2013. In order not to be disturbed by the outside world, they rarely disclose their private lives to the public.

In 2016, they welcomed their son, Orso.
After the birth of his child, Gaspard also gradually slowed down the pace of his work in the film and television industry, and instead shared more time with his family and children.
He once said when the child was born: "What seemed extremely important yesterday will seem ridiculous to watch today." Becoming a father will bring you back to something very specific, fill in some gaps you may not be aware of, and give you a reason to live. ”
Unfortunately, the child lost his father when he turned 6 this year. A week ago, the child's mother also posted a video of the little one skiing on the slopes, in which Orso skied with excellent skiing skills, stepping on the skis through one marker after another.
It's unclear if Orso and his mum were with Gaspard on the day of the accident, but according to Paris Match, "Gaspard Ullier and his family were on the mountain." The media also reported that "like his parents, this little boy inherited a passion for skiing".
The ski accident was not an isolated incident, with 8-14 fatal accidents (excluding avalanches) reportedly occurring in French ski resorts each year between 2009 and 2020.
From the winter of 2020 to the beginning of 2021, due to the impact of the epidemic, there are not many tourists in the ski resort, but 37 people still lose their lives due to avalanches.
