PARIS: French actor Gerard Depardieu arrived at a Paris court on Monday for his trial on charges of sexually assaulting two women during a 2021 film shoot, with his lawyer saying he would show all the accusations were “false”.
Depardieu, 76, who has made more than 200 films and television series, has been accused of improper behaviour by around 20 women but this is the first case to come to trial.
He is the highest-profile figure to face accusations in French cinema´s sometimes laggardly response to the #MeToo movement. Depardieu, dressed in a dark suit with no tie, strolled into the Paris criminal court with a hand on his lawyer´s shoulder.
