Counterfeit Depardieu on the loose
By Spirit FingersBeware the fake French actor, the bane of any European film festival. He will make a mockery of your security detail and infiltrate the most sacred of places that is the celebrity gift suite:
Police said Friday that the Depardieu doppelganger looked and sounded enough like the real thing that staff members at the Hotel de Russie allowed him into the gift suite, where he reportedly took a purse, a bikini, a pair of sunglasses, a cashmere sweater and a designer bra. The error was discovered a short time later, but by then the look-alike was long gone.
As to why the impostor made off with those particular items, one cannot judge him other than to say that in late October most of the Mediterranean coast is still balmy enough for beach-going but the temperatures cool down enough at night to warrant an extra layer.
To avoid future transgressions of this nature, I recommend that everyone please pay extra attention to pictures of the genuine article below. Note the untucked dress shirt, the unpolished shoes, the ruddy features, the curve of the right thumb, and most of all don’t forget to check for the authentication card inside one of the coat pockets.

Remind me again why people think he’s sexy…? ’cause I’m not feelin’ it. Literally or figuratively.

Take it from someone born in France: the French, zay are day-spearate!

The Depardieu oozes charisma just like Jean Reno oozes “Jean Reno Loves You”

This is a joke, right? I mean, Depardieu *is* the man who played a man posing as another man in “The Return of Martin Guerre” . . .
