Gerard Depardieu's Son Dies in Paris
Posted on Mon Oct 13, 2008 11:25 AM PDT
The French film world is in mourning today following the death of the son of Actor Gerard Depardieu.
Guillaume Depardieu, who was 37 years old, died Monday in a Paris area hospital from a bout of acute pneumonia, according to the Associated Press.
Like his famous father, Guillaume was also an actor who starred in some 20 films.
A spokesman for the elder Depardieu said his son had contracted a virus that developed into a "devastating case of pneumonia."
The son of one of France's biggest names in cinema long struggled to come out from his father's shadow. He had run-in's with the law for speeding, drugs and a conviction for drink-driving that landed him in jail earlier this year.
It certainly is a tragic loss. Our prayers go out to the Depardieu family.

Was that the best France has to offer when it comes to acting or is like HW where DEMocratic fundraising gives you kudos with the media elite.
J'aurais pas cru qu'un site US en parlerait ! Mais c'est vrai que c'est triste ...
yeah, I was thinking AIDS too. You dont die of Pneumonia unless your a senior or immuno suppressed.
Lolii...
J'ai vu un repportage sur TF1 une fois consacré aux paparazzis US et si mes souvenirs sont bon, je crois que le boss de X17 est un français!!
I don't understand why people don't wanna believe that it was pneumonia !!! And that's not the point anyway, now he's dead... i don't think we should comment on his supposed disease !!!
i hope he finally reach peace !!! all my thoughts goes to the family, especially Julie !!!
How stupid can some be just saying "aids" ! And then ??? He was a fantastic actor himself and he was only 37 isn't it enough to respect him and his family ??? F... .idiots !

Pour info, je crois que les dirigeants de X17 online sont des français

37,its way too young to die..He was so unlucky(difficult relationship with his father,his accident,leg..)..Very sad..
RIP Guillaume.He seemed to be a nice guy.
Oui le boss de X17 est Français.Mais il ya beaucoup de sites US qui en parlent puisque Gerard Depardieu est mondialement connut.
Guillaume has been taking drugs for many years, that's why he must have been immuno suppressed...
He was such a good actor.
I was also thinking about him the day before yesterday, can't remember why.
RIP...
"Ma che importa oramai, ora che…
Puoi prendere per la coda una cometa
e girando per l’universo te ne vai,
puoi raggiungere, forse adesso, la tua meta, quel mondo diverso che non trovavi mai.
Solo che non doveva andar così,
solo che tutti ora siamo un po’ più soli qui..."
Just watch his last film, "Versailles", wonderfull.
