The 75-year-old actor spoke to BFMTV about his decision to write the column in support of Gérard Depardieu. He said he had “a holy horror of hordes of dogs hitting a man on the ground.”
A signature as a “citizen’s act”. This Friday 29 December, the actor Gérard Darmon explained to BFMTV the reasons for his signature on the platform in support of Gérard Depardieu, denouncing the “lynching” of the “last sacred monster of cinema”, at the center of a political-political controversy .media after the broadcast of a Complément d’investigation report on France 2.
“I have a holy horror, beyond Depardieu, for the hordes of dogs, for those who put a man on the ground, for the blows, for the implacability”, which is “unacceptable”, he launched on our antenna.
The actor “did not know” the initiator of the platform
Gérard Darmon also returned to the genesis of his purchase. According to him, he “received an email signed by this famous Yannis Ezziadi”, an actor and columnist for the far-right magazine Causeur. “I didn’t know him,” he admitted, later assuring that he signed after “finding” him. [s]we count”, in particular on the importance of the presumption of innocence.
He still acknowledged that there was “a grandiloquence in this petition” that did not “suit him.” His name thus joins a list of numerous signatories who have expressed “discomfort” with the content of the article or its co-author. Carole Bouquet, Yvan Attal and Nadine Trintignant had already distanced themselves from this very controversial text.
The actor added that he does not personally know Gérard Depardieu – who was the target of three complaints of rape and sexual assault and indicted in one of the cases – although he “really likes” the “extraordinary, free and disturbing character”.
Words that don’t shock him
When asked about Gérard Depardieu’s controversial comments in North Korea where he multiplies, in a sequence broadcast on France 2, misogynistic and obscene comments against women and a little girl, Gérard Darmon replied that “the real perverts keep quiet”. “He talks about it like he talks about a recipe,” he continued.
“You know how guys talk about women? Have you ever been cheeky?” the actor said.
According to him, “the important thing” is the “rapes”. If a court convicted Gérard Depardieu for these facts, “I would be the first to tell him: ‘You’re an asshole.'”
