Movie legend Gerard Depardieu steps into the trench coat of Jules Maigret, the famous French detective who has been adapted across the world
RICHARD KAY: Just days after being accused of raping a young actress, Gerard Depardieu was back at work.
This newest incarnation of Georges Simenon’s detective should satisfy fans of the novels and entertain those not familiar with him.
There’s little suspense and not much light in this detective story, but the French actor seems to have finally found a role that channels his rare sympathy as an actor.
French actor Gérard Depardieu today spoke for the first time about being charged with raping and sexual abusing a young actress, saying: 'I am innocent'. The 72-year-old film star broke his silence on Thursday after Paris prosecutors confirmed he faced trial and prison for the attacks allegedly carried out at his £45million mansion in 2018. 'There is no proof, there is nothing against me and therefore I am very serene,' Depardieu said in an interview in Italy's La Repubblica. 'I can only reject all the accusations as clearly as possible, as I've already done in front of the investigators.'
