Do you recognize the young man in the picture? This is the famous French actor Gerard Depardieu. In this article, we will talk about several interesting facts from the actor’s life.
He was the third child in the family. And since the family lived very poorly, his mother did not want a third child. She wanted to get rid of him herself, but she did not succeed.
This is how this future actor was born. Later, the family consisted of 6 children. Gerard’s brothers and sisters were born at home. And the boy was often present at this.
As a child, he wanted to become a butcher so he would never go hungry. As a child, he stuttered, was a silent child, and could not even think about acting.
He got involved with a bad crowd. They were hooligans, they stole. In short, you could say he was going downhill.
He was arrested by the police several times, but was released at his mother’s request because he was underage. But once he still had to serve three weeks in prison for theft.
The young man took up boxing. As a result, he got a broken nose. This trait became the actor’s hallmark.
And it is unknown what would have happened to him if not for a chance meeting with a guy who suggested that he go to Paris and enroll in a theater school.
Of course, his diction was terrible, but he showed various scenes from life perfectly. And he was accepted as an experiment for free education.
Feeling a lack of education, he began to study hard: read, go to the cinema and theater.
This period of his life can be considered the beginning of the actor’s creative path.
