Last week, Yu Shang introduced the French sexy actor Gaspard Ulliel (poke blue font reading), and today Yu Shang took you to know a French big-nosed lover who has been in the film industry for more than half a century - Gerald dePardieu.
In the summer, Yu Shang will always find many old movies to watch.
Among French films, one of the most impressive films is "You Guys Shut Up!" 》（Tais-toi !）。
The male protagonist steel egg is a big talker, always talking non-stop, so that the roommates in the prison can't stand it, and they choose to change rooms. Ruby is a killer, plotting his escape plan and silently enduring the nagging of the steel egg.
Although Steel Egg understands in his heart that Ruby doesn't really like to listen to his own nagging, he cherishes this friend so much that he decides to help him with his not-so-clever head.
While the movie makes people laugh, it makes people sad and moved, and steel eggs have become one of Yu Shang's favorite screen characters.
However, his actor, Gérard Depardieu, known as the "big-nosed love saint", is a controversial actor.
Young times
Gerald de Padillo was born on 27 December 1948 in Châteauroux, in the Loire Valley in central France, the third child of the family.
His father, René Depardieu, was a worker and volunteer firefighter, and his mother was a housewife. The family was not wealthy, and when he grew up, he had to help his mother take care of his younger siblings.

It is said that when he was a teenager, he spent much more time on the street than in school. He loves to hang out at a U.S. military base near his home and pour cigarettes and alcohol. On weekends, he worked as a bodyguard for prostitutes from Paris.
After officially leaving school at the age of 13, he was nearly illiterate and did not learn to read until much later.
He first went to the printing house as an apprentice, and then went to the town's boxing club to practice boxing.
His tall stature left him inflexible during the game, and during one training session, his nose was deformed by a punch from his opponent. However, after this incident, his nose has since become one of his most striking features.
Although he grew up in a bad environment and surrounded by violence and chaos, Gerald de Padillo never imagined that he would become a robber who relied on violence. Relatively speaking, he longs for a distant place and wants to live a life completely different from his father's generation.
He hitchhiked on the road again and again, learned to deal with strangers, and accumulated countless human feelings. In 1963, a trip to the Côte d'Azur took his life on a new track.
Redemption from the movie
By the sea, he meets Michel Pilorgé, a mild-mannered boy from a family of doctors. The two became good friends, and at the invitation of Michel Piroger, Gerald de Padio decided to go to Paris to study theatre with him.
Michelle Pirogger is now also a comedian
Gerald Depardieu's distinctive big nose and rich and agile facial expressions made him extremely infectious in his acting class.
The opportunity to perform, which others had been studying for months, was easily obtained, and it made the whole classroom scream and boil over his acting skills, and also attracted Élisabeth Guignot.
This is a girl from an aristocratic family, both an actor with some experience and a high-achieving student at the Sorbonne University. With the help of Elisabeth Kinero, Gerald dePardieu came into contact with high society and read famous books. In 1970, he and Elisabeth Kinero entered the palace of marriage.
After his first appearance in Roger Leenhardt's short film Le Beatnik et le Minet in 1965, Gerald de Paddillo officially began an acting career that has never ceased to this day.
From a small supporting role to a protagonist, he constantly honed his acting skills in the 70s. In 1976, at the first César Awards, he was nominated for Best Actor for Seven Sentences to Death.
In 1981, he topped the César Award for "Le Dernier Métro" with Catherine Deneuve.
The biggest success will be until ten years later. In 1991, Gerald Depardieu starred in Cyrano de Bergerac.
In the movie, he is a crush on his cousin Roxanne, but he is ashamed of his big nose and does not dare to confess. Knowing that his cousin and the handsome Christian have feelings for each other, he promises Christian to write a love letter for him to show his cousin.
His romantic and talented poems are admired, his behavior of fulfilling others makes people sigh, and his inferiority is heart-wrenching... Gerald dePardieu played the character of Sihano, and his own big nose coincidentally fit with Sihano.
For the film, he again won the César Film Award for Best Actor, and also won the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as going international and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Today, he has starred in more than 200 films, and is the second-largest actor in France at the total box office after the comedian Louis de Funès.
Happy to see Johnny Hallyday
Controversy abounds
In addition to his film achievements, Gerald Depardieu is controversial in many ways.
On the one hand, he loves the land and food. He has his own vineyard in many places and enjoys running restaurants and sharing delicious treats with everyone.
He once said in the book: "If I still have an ideal that I am not yet aware of, it is to take care of the vineyard and winemaking like a real artist." ”
On the other hand, in the 1990s, he publicly supported the French left countless times, and after entering the new millennium, he turned to many right-wing figures in French politics, and even more openly supported Nicolas Sarkozy during the previous presidential campaign.
Because France's taxes on the rich are extremely high, in order to pay less taxes, he officially settled in Belgium from December 7, 2012, and then in 2013, he received a presidential decree granting Russian citizenship signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, officially joining the fighting nation, causing a world public uproar.
In 2018, an actress who was 22 years old at the time accused Depardieu of sexually assaulting and raping her in his home on August 6 and August 13.
The woman, who was previously enrolled in the school where Depardieu taught, was rehearsing a stage play.
However, due to the investigators failing to gather enough evidence to launch a formal lawsuit, the Paris prosecutor's investigation was withdrawn in early 2019, but the actress did not give up, and the case has once again received everyone's attention in recent days, and it is believed that there will be progress in the future.
