Guillaume Depardieu, actor, biography

Meet - Guillaume Depardieu, an actor whose biography is sometimes just amazing with his sophistication. The son of the famous pope not only knows how to get out of difficult situations, but he can also stand up for himself.

He opened his eyes and saw the sky. Evening, but already full of stars. Guillaume brought to life someone's businesslike cries and an irritating shaking - he was being taken somewhere. He turned his head: the airport, beloved girl Rejan, several men in white.

He was lying on a gurney - she uttered a piercing shrill sound and shook on loose wheels. Everything will be fine, monsieur, you are flying home to France. In the hospital you are already waiting ... "" What is the date today, a year? "Guillaume whispered back. Sunday. October 12, 2008. Everything will turn out, believe me, "the nurse answered, panting from the energetic run. "It's just pneumonia."

Late in the night the plane landed in France. From the airport, Guillaume was rushed to the Raymond-Poincare hospital. that in the nearest suburb of Paris - Garshe. The doctor, barely glancing at the patient and hearing a wheezing breath, gave the order to urgently send him to the intensive care unit.

"But he said that everything was bypassed ..." Guillaume barely whispered. but, having caught the doctor's eye, immediately understood everything. Is this really the end? Did he deserve such a stupid death - for a cold?

It's ridiculous to die now that he only met his beloved woman, who promised to give birth to his child: he agreed to play the idol of his youth Arthur Rambo. Silly ... Today at a dinner in the restaurant of the studio Castel Film, in Bucharest, where Guillaume was shot in the film "Childhood of Icarus", he terribly frightened colleagues with his shrieking barking cough. The guys called an ambulance, although Guillaume protested - he asked for a cup of boiling water and honey. Coughing - it's just ridiculous, nonsense! Why did everyone around him become silent and start to stare at him in fright? Do not they know - it is a functional living constructor, an organic mechanism assembled from glass bones, sewn-sewn and re-wounded by enthusiastic doctors? No, he's not joking. Everything is just like that. Do not believe? Let them ask Rezhan, Guillaume had time to poke her heart ... She knows how it is arranged and what went through.

... To the pain Guillaume was used since childhood. More precisely, he was born with her. About this in a popular form during his next hospitalization told doctors - it turns out that his mother Elizabeth, being pregnant, was taking some kind of experimental medicine that affected the fetus at a genetic level, because Guillaume was born with extremely fragile bones, constantly sick, testing what for usually elderly people complain - aching pain and aches all over the body. Since the early years he has been a regular at the operating room, a good consumer of medicines, who earned his nickname "a stable tin soldier" from his doctors. To physical pain, Guillaume was so used to learning to coexist with her quite successfully. The doctor watching him somehow sadly remarked: "You blow harder - you'll fly like a dandelion."

... What else could he remember about his childhood , besides eternal fractures and gypsum?

The famous Guillaume Depardieu, an actor whose biography has developed very successfully, torments loneliness in his own life. Endless, endless loneliness. A huge family estate in the suburbs of Paris - Bougival. The old park around, the flower beds, lovingly groomed with mother's hands, the sugary smell of pale roses, which she especially loved. And the sounds of the piano are Schubert's waltzes. They rushed through the empty floors, flew out the windows and reached the far corners of the garden ... Guillaume called them the sounds of Mama's longing. My father was never at home, and she was experiencing her own thatched widowhood, the ear is alive behind plants, and for a long time lingering in the far gazebo behind the book. Guillaume was left to himself. However, like Julie's younger sister, with whom he did not work. She always locked herself in her room and snorted at the offer to play together. Once he dismantled the lock in her door and burst in, but Julie screamed at the top of her voice: "Help! He's beating me! Ah-ah-ah ... "From nowhere, Mother rushed and rattled Guillaume on the cheeks. So he realized that Julie is rubbish.

My sister had her girlfriends , dolls and secretaries, and he did not have anyone - his mother raised children according to the principle: "Be who you are." This meant that we must survive on our own using all available means. He survived-climbing trees, falling, breaking arms and legs, staying in hospitals for months, going out, riding a bicycle along the surrounding roads, falling again, breaking again and laying again in the hospitals. One day - he was then eleven - he escaped from the infirmary ahead of schedule, but the police quickly overtook the boy at the bus stop, where he expected to go home.

However , the craving for home was more automatic. What was waiting for him there? Bike crosses on desert country roads? Sentinels on old oak, dreams in the attic and tedious mom's piano? Rare raiding father? And his lies. Before the eyes there is still a picture: a drawing room, a huge dad just arrived, his cunning squint and a flattering voice: "Darling, we'll go fishing with Jean. Just for a couple of days ... "Little Guillaume stands between his parents and looks at his father from the bottom up. He obviously lies. In the pauses between the shootings, he does not want to stay at home, he is out of the habit of everything, is burdened with family responsibilities - he is bored with fiddling with children and entertaining his wife. The father has his own life, in which he does not admit anyone. Guillaume turns her eyes to her mother - Elizabeth smiles, nods. She rejoices that my dad visited them, now there will be something to remember about a couple of months while the next shooting continues. Guillaume is still too young to understand the intricacies of the relationship in his family, but he feels a lot, he knows a lot. And most importantly - see the result. And he has eyes. Mom is always alone, dad never. Julie is locked up, and he then breaks, then is repaired. Guillaume was fourteen years old when he decided to put in place an escape plan. Rummaging through the pockets of his father's jacket, he pulled out a couple of hundred francs and, waiting for the twilight to come, cautiously got out of the window of his room on the second floor, ran to the station and got on the train going to the capital.

But when he was in Paris , Guillaume was confused, because he did not know anyone there, and he had nowhere to go. However, what did it matter? He chose at random at the street and wandered, wandered, where his feet were carried. Some guys who bawled songs gave him a drink in a plastic cup, for dinner he stole a couple of bananas from the counter and listened for hours to the hip-hop gang, located on the Republic Square. It was getting dark, it was getting chilly, a bit scary, but ... so amazingly fun! He felt nobody and free.

So he stayed in Paris. I got myself food, stealing from street trays, slept for money with anyone who wanted it - a man or a woman. In one company I tried drugs ...

What is surprising , parents did not try to find it and return it. He somehow called home and told Elizabeth that he had moved away and will now be on his own, in Paris. She should not worry. Mother replied: "You are an adult, it's up to you." And that's all. Nothing else. Neither "how are you there, baby?" Nor "what are you living on?" ... After hung up, Guillaume burst into tears right in the booth of the machine. He saw his father (for the first time in three months) only on the day he hit the police station. Together with the guys with whom he shared shelter in the basement at Saint-Denis, Guillaume tried to steal a motorcycle.

Guillaume Depardieu, an actor whose biography says that he is alone as a lone wolf, still has a favorite woman. Depardieu Sr. broke into the commissariat, as the hero of one of his popular paintings: noisy, theatrical, with a bulging bangs. All around, as if on command, they quieted down and began to babble before the movie star. All except Guillaume.

When the father was taken to the cell , he gave his son such a heavy slap that he cut Guillaume's lip and threw it to the floor.

"You scoundrel!" Gerard cried theatrically. "You disgrace my name!"

However, this way he will speak every time the guards of order begin to call him to the site for a date with his son. But he will not be allowed to beat the boy any more. When Depardieu once again swung at his son, his hand was intercepted by the guard:

"Take it easy, monsieur." We do not allow this. Keep yourself in hand, he's still a teenager. "Keep yourself in the hands of" my father never did, Guillaume thought. He always lied to his mother. Why not lie and policeman, playing out the indignant dad? In fact, he never had enough time for children, and visits to the commissariat, signing papers and paying off mortgages were simply an annoying duty. Due to the numerous arrests of Guillaume, the name of Gerard Depardieu was endlessly throbbing for tabloid editions. Still: the son of the first movie star of France - a drug addict, thief, prostitute and vagabond, the worst anti-advertising can not think of.

At the age of seventeen, he was once again arrested , charged with drug trafficking. Handed over by Guillaume more experienced friend, who thus wanted to otmazatsya himself. It was decided to send a guy to prison for juvenile offenders. To his first conclusion Guillaume walked for a long time, perhaps from the very day that he decided to settle in a rented apartment in one of the gloomy streets along with his solfeggio teacher.

A year before this arrest, Guillaume successfully entered the drama course, where he studied brilliantly, while simultaneously filming and receiving prestigious awards. Producers promised him great roles, he also considered this attitude flattery to "a relative of Depardieu himself" and did not attach much credit to praise, although the most snobbish critics of France, after the successful tape "All the World's Morning," where Guillaume, twenty, played the composer Marena Mare, his "young genius".

Out of class, Guillaume desperately blacked out: with the teacher, the apartment was one of the landmark points on the map of Paris, where suspicious subjects came on the advice and received the coveted dose. And then ... Whether things went wrong with the teacher, whether he owed the suppliers, or decided to buy himself a new life - this Guillaume will never know, because, according to rumors, his neighbor was launched into the witness protection program. One evening, the police came to them and everyone who was - Guillaume, the teacher and their guests - was arrested. During interrogations, the teacher passed many "his own", in the process laying down and Guillaume - he called him one of the main distributors.

The verdict of the judge read : three years in the Bois-d'arcy prison in the department of Evelyn. No indulgences for the "child of the star", no special conditions. Guillaume was shaved and handed out a uniform, running into a real terrarium. Here everyone had the same faces, fates, past and present. The next morning on a walk Depardieu surrounded by healthy foreheads and one of them began to tease:

"Hey, blond, do you think Papa's bablo will get you out of here?" Maybe, maybe, but for now you will be "our common girl".

Instead of answering, Guillaume rushed to the guy and clenched his teeth in his head, tearing out the shreds of his hair. A fierce fight broke out. Around, unknown to anyone, supporting, everyone chanted: "Finish this fagot!" Guillaume hardly crushed the enemy under him. The guards who watched the scuffle, decided to finally intervene. A rumor has already passed among the prisoners that the "newcomer" is a stick, and although he is two meters tall and his face is all scarred, his health is frail, his bones are "crystal". A couple of times to kick in the right places - and hello. But who will dare to do this? After all, the son of "the most" ...

Guards dragged Guillaume and for five weeks hid in a deaf cell alone. There, the prison psychiatrist was summoned, in front of whom the desperate Guillaume brilliantly played the complete schizophrenic: he danced and laughed, cried, breathed like a dog, dangling his tongue, and then, with a piercing soprano, tightened Tosca's aria. The doctor ordered the prisoner to be sent to a psychiatric ward for the violent, he ran a long conclusion and was later shocked to learn that Guillaume Depardieu was all right and the guy simply played it.

After serving his sentence alone , Guillaume returned to prison "with his boy". Everyone realized that he does not at all resemble the sugary son of a famous actor and, in fact, is no different from other outcasts - the same particle in the total mass of end-all types. With Guillaume, generously shared drugs (which circulated freely in the cells) and fell behind.

At night, when the prison subsided, he pestered himself with introspection. Nobody loves him, but he seeks love everywhere. And he knows for sure: if there is a woman who will manage to love him, he will tie it with a street and devote his life to it. Guillaume will follow her to the end of the world and beyond. After all, he knows how to love, although so far no one has guessed ... Parents did not visit him in prison. Where is his mother now? In the Bougival? Or in their summer house in Chateauroux? What is he doing? Is she still busy with her own experiences and tormenting her piano?

With Julie, it's all right. And the father? The father, as always, is shot in one of six films a year - this is his usual tight schedule. He heard that everything with his mother was completely disorganized - it was discovered that his father had a daughter on his side. All in deed - and only Guillaume is uselessly hanging between heaven and earth. Here, in prison, in the library, he rediscovered the poems of Arthur Rimbaud, many learned by heart. The poet had a sad life and an early death. Verses helped him to hold on. Perhaps, only thanks to Rimbaud, he did not lose heart completely.

... After leaving the prison , Guillaume returned to his habitual existence: work, drugs, casual connections, with the only difference that he no longer took sex for sex. Fleeting girlfriends turned out to be drunk girls from bars, cashiers from supermarkets, street strangers who recognized the fashionable actor. He eagerly approached all indiscriminately, but in none he found the one he was looking for.

On one of the big fees Guillaume bought an apartment and a motorcycle, which he participated in night racing with guys from street groups. The raids took place in the northern suburbs, in Nogent-sur-Marne. He also changed his favorite drug. Now instead of heroin, Guillaume took crack, which he bought from his hands in places where dealers knew him in person - at the crossroads of Roshoshuar Boulevard, near a tree on the Stalingrad embankment, at the terminal metro station "Port de la Chapelle". Crack made a big change in his life - he had to take it several times during the day. On particularly dreary nights, Guillaume went to the underground "crack houses" on the outskirts of Paris, where he smoked in the silent society of the same zombied mannequins. In any case, here he was not so sad, as if he was dragging himself into his empty apartment.

The directors, who invited Guillaume to act, received instructions from the producers about the state of his health. They knew that a talented actor - a top, whose life is subject to a strict schedule of drugs, so he can disrupt the shooting. The shooting period on the site and in nature was planned in such a way that the group had "safety days" in reserve - in case, if Depardieu Jr. is out of schedule and something goes wrong.

This happened in 1995 . On a warm August evening, Guillaume flew on his motorcycle on a high-speed highway towards the suburbs, dived into the Saint-Cloud tunnel, when suddenly a suitcase dropped from the roof of the car, which rolled in front, and hit him in the face. The young man fell sharply on the track, his right foot somewhere fell through and got stuck. The body poured out streams of warm liquid from itself. It seemed that the blood was splashing from everywhere. If the casual pedestrians who witnessed the catastrophe did not drag him to the sidelines, the truck that followed would be rolled by Guillaume, like a giant iron.

... He received a serious injury - the surgeons collected his leg in parts. Ten months on the hospital bed. Tons of medicines did not help drown out the monstrous pain. At first, doctors wrote off a long recovery to the frail health of the drug addict. But then it turned out that during one of the surgical interventions, Guillaume's leg was infected. He was prescribed more and more new drugs, analgesics, he again learned to walk with crutches ...

In December 1999, his friends invited Guillaume to a youth performance at the theater "Gete de la Montparnasse". He was sitting on the edge of the aisle. He was terribly uncomfortable, but this is the only place where you can, without disturbing anyone, pull out a sore leg and put a crutch. As soon as the performance began - some kind of funny nonsense about the student life, as Guillaume was dumbfounded. On the stage, he saw a girl, in which he instantly fell in love. Fragile, touching, with big affectionate eyes and a gentle smile, she spoke so quietly that the audience sometimes whistled in discontent. She played with great impact, and it was not at all connected either with the cheeky public, or with this god-forgotten scene.

Waiting for the curtain, Guillaume went backstage.

"And I thought the guys were joking, claiming you were in the hall," the girl said with a smile at the sight of the fashionable actor. "It must have been terribly boring ..."

"Yeah, it's a sight," Guillaume admitted honestly. - But you were the only one that was amazing.

"You flatter me," Elisa Vantre, a recent graduate of the Francois Florent School of Dramatic Art, was clearly embarrassed.

- I was so shocked that I fell in love. And you know, I want to ask you to become my wife immediately!

The girl laughed:

"Are you kidding me?"

- Not at all! I have no one, I often cry at night from loneliness, "Guillaume blurted out.

The girl was impressed by his confession:

- And you know, I agree.

They immediately began to live together and a few weeks after the meeting, on the eve of New Year's holidays, played a quiet wedding. A year later, his wife gave birth to his daughter Louise.

Guillaume finally got what he had long dreamed of, but was he ready for his own happiness? In the face of a thirty-year-old Guillaume, Eliza met a worn out man whose life depended on a list of medicines taken literally by the clock, surgeries, corrections, rehabilitations and ... drugs. Hysterical, embittered, jerked Guillaume was absolutely not fit for the role of husband, father of the family, and in general - a normal person. It was a bundle of nerves, he was ready to explode on any occasion - he does not like that Eliza leaves with the theater on tour, throwing them with her daughter for a month, then the baked turkey has a touch of sickening Chinese soy, then the coffee served for breakfast, seems too liquid ...

In the end , Eliza left: "You do not need me. Your love is drugs. " Guillaume did not stop his wife - he could not promise her that everything would change, and they could be happy. Drugs became a part of his body, his blood, air ... Without them, he could neither live nor work. And if Eliza is not ready to put up with this, then they really part forever ...
