French actor Gaspard Ulliel died this Wednesday at the age of 37, one day after suffering a spectacular skiing accident that kept him hospitalized in a critical state, the French press confirmed.
The BFM TV chain, which advanced the news, confirms that the double winner of the César award was unable to recover from the severe head trauma after a collision with another skier at the La Rosière resort, in the French Alps, where he was recovered by helicopter and transferred to the Grenoble hospital.
The Albertville Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation to clarify the causes of the accident on a track in Savoy.
In a brief statement to the media, his agent confirmed that Ulliel died this Wednesday “victim of a ski accident”, when he was enjoying one of his great passions on a blue slope, a name given to those of low or medium level.
The actor has a six-year-old son with the model Gaëlle Pietri, who a few days ago shared a photo on Instagram skiing with the little one.
Born in 1984, the interpreter received the César for best revelation actor at the age of 21 for his performance in A Very Long Engagement, by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, where he worked alongside Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard.
Again in 2017 he was awarded, this time with the César for best actor, for his role in the film by Canadian Xavier Dolan, Just the end of the world.
He was one of the French actors with the greatest international career, thanks to films such as Hannibal rising, where he put himself in the shoes of the murderer Hannibal Lecter in his younger years, previously incarnated in the trilogy of the 90s by Anthony Hopkins.
