The arrest of France’s most celebrated film star on two charges of recent sexual assault ought to occasion, in any normal circumstances, shock and outrage. Unfortunately, that star happens to be Gérard Depardieu, meaning the news is only capable by this point of generating a numb revulsion.
Gerard Depardieu is one of France's most famous celebrities, appearing in over 200 films over six decades, and is one of the small number of European stars to make it in Hollywood.
