A bully from a large provincial family who earned his living as a farce and "skewed" from the army, simulating a mental disorder; a unique actor who played about two hundred roles in cinema, television and theater and received awards from all prestigious film festivals; director and producer; a singer who recorded several songs; author of two autobiographical books and a collection of culinary recipes, a lover of playing in classic plays and "costume" films, preferring to read biographies of historical figures; gluttony and booze, shocking the audience in bad manners; an offender who has been on trial several times; a lucky businessman who owned vineyards and two restaurants; a person who makes acquaintance with dubious personalities and top officials of states: F. Mitterrand, J. Shirak, F. Castro, V. Yushchenko, Pope John Paul II. Such a list would be enough for a dozen biographies; but all this is about Gerard Depardieu.
