GUILLAUME DEPARDIEU

Having the talented French actor Gerard Depardieu for a father must have brought pressure on Guillaume’s shoulders, but to his credit, he managed to establish a name for himself outside of this shadow. Throughout his career, he received numerous accolades, including receiving a Cesar Award—which is the French equivalent of an Oscar. Guillaume starred in some notable productions, including Tous Les Matins Du Monde, Les Apprentis, and Count of Monte Cristo.

In 2007, Guillaume tried to rebuild his career, doing the films Don’t Touch the Axe and La France. He also did the 2008 movie De La Guerre. Thirteen years before his death, Guillaume was engaged in a motorcycle crash when he ran over a suitcase on the road that severely damaged his knee. After suffering from several health issues, Guillaume passed away on October 13, 2008. He was 37 years old. He left behind his beautiful wife, Elise Ventre, and their only child, Louise.
