Which countries accepted Depardieu after renouncing French citizenship. Gerard Depardieu became a citizen of Russia Where is Gerard Depardieu

In response to message No. 60 from Ivan:
Educators.
He is over 30, he is a successful businessman, he has a cool car and he parks where and how he wants. He doesn't care about others, sidewalks and lawns are for him, not for you.
She is 22, she works two jobs, she bought an old Opel. Parks where and how he wants. Even though she is a simple person, not a major one, she also doesn’t care about those around her.
He is 24, an ordinary student, rides a bicycle, but does not know the traffic rules, everyone must yield to him, pedestrian crossing, on the sidewalk, on the road. He doesn't care about others.
She’s 19, a student, modest and quiet, and it seems like she should understand something, but... On the escalator in the subway, she climbs from the side, wedging herself into the crowd, stands on the left and is indignant at the “runners,” and climbs straight into public transport, not caring about the fact that they first leave and then enter. She doesn't care about others.
She is 32, has two kids, while walking she chats on the phone with a friend, she doesn’t keep an eye on the children, they run along the bike paths, scaring cyclists, and jump out onto the roadway. Raise children? Responsibilities? Rules of conduct on the road? Mom didn't hear about it. She doesn't care about others. And the children don’t care about her either, already with early age they get used to permissiveness.
He is 65, retired, seemingly a quiet grandfather, likes to smoke on the balcony and think about life. And then throw the cigarette butt down, straight onto the lawn. He doesn't care either.
This is just a small part of the examples. Insignificantly small. I'm not talking about respect. You need to respect those who deserve it. But I’m talking about simple upbringing, about the concept of the fact that you don’t live here alone, that there are others around you. But. The indifference and selfishness of people most often does not include thoughts about others.
Wedge yourself into the crowd, get in first, stand the way you want and block the passage, park your car closer, chat with a stupid girlfriend or watch a football game while drinking beer, instead of spending an hour and explaining to your child that sidewalks and roads are... It’s not a place to play, that there are other people walking and cars driving there, that you have to be careful. Indifference is everywhere. Most people haven't cared about each other for a long time.
But as soon as some Breivik starts his show, this crowd unites and begins to crow about morality, about value human life. Do you deserve this morality? How can you talk about it if you don’t have it and all this time you didn’t care about those around you? Or does your morality manifest itself only at gunpoint and fear of losing your life? Then you are hypocrites, gentlemen. Such hypocrites that even the cunning Satan will envy, because he is open evil, and you are evil, covered with false morality.
And you know, this society deserves more Breiviks. Parked on the lawn, jump ahead out of turn, throw trash on the street, get a bullet in the forehead, because you deserve it, you are just as much trash as that cigarette butt that you just threw at the feet of other passers-by. Only in this way will they learn to think not only about themselves. Only through fear. Because propaganda, posters for cleanliness, calls for politeness and other polite attempts to reason do not work with them. A cultured and educated person will always think about others and do what is best for everyone. As long as he has freedom of choice, he will always choose the best option for himself, and only under pain of punishment will he begin to behave civilly.
Who are you? The choice is yours.

Dali Russian citizenship to the fading actor Seagal. It's time to remember where Depardieu is now. After all, Channel One didn’t say anything about him, so as not to upset the Russians.

Anton Khudozhnikov reminded about the fate of recently made Russian citizen Gerard Depardieu on Facebook.

Popular French actor Gerard Depardieu six months ago gave an online interview to the Canal+ TV channel in which he commented on his departure from Russia. Depardieu said verbatim about this: “If I ever miss that life, then I can live in my barn for a couple of days.”

Recently, Gerard Depardieu went to Belgium, submitted documents for citizenship there and has already purchased real estate. Since Russian laws do not allow having dual citizenship, then the actor will definitely have to refuse the Russian passport, which Gerard Depardieu personally received at one time from the hands of the country’s President Vladimir Putin. Depardieu has also already sold both apartments in Russia - in Saransk and Grozny, which he received as a gift, respectively, from the government of Mordovia and the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. For an apartment located in a skyscraper in Grozny, Gerard Depardieu earned good money. Square meters in the prestigious Grozny skyscraper, according to experts, cost tens of millions of rubles. Arriving in Belgium, Gerard Depardieu said that only now he realized that he was a true Frenchman and wanted to live in a familiar Europe. Now the media prefer not to talk about the fact that Gerard Depardieu fled Russia.
Yes, did the Russian fools really think that the actor would live in such a country?

Gerard Depardieu was forcibly taken by law enforcement agencies to the district bailiff department of Arkhangelsk. This happened on June 30, 2016 in connection with his evasion of collecting a fine of 300 rubles for violating the procedure for submitting documents to authorized government bodies.

Gerard Depardieu was in no hurry to implement the earlier decision of the local court to pay a fine, avoiding communication with the bailiffs, for which he was taken to the department with the drawing up of a protocol under administrative article 20.25 “Evasion of execution” administrative punishment"and imposing a double fine.

All this is not a joke, and Gerard Depardieu is a notorious resident of Arkhangelsk, who has already changed his passport and first name with surname more than 20 times since 2003.

His real name from birth is Andrei Valentinovich Khristoforov, but recent years he has already managed to officially visit Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev and even Posad Vselenovich Drevarkh-Enlightened.

At the same time, Depardieu, who fined Arkhangelsk, is not at all discouraged in his next life plans another change of first and last name. As he already announced to journalists, this will be determined through a special ritual on the river bank, where his son will “draw symbols in the sand” by which a new name will be determined.

And where does the real Gerard Depardieu, the no less famous namesake of the Arkhangelsk joker, live now?

The real Depardieu rightly calls himself a “citizen of the world”, spending most of his life traveling around different countries with visiting various festivals and corporate events.

As previously reported in Reliable News, after another short stay at the end of 2015, Depardieu left Russia, selling apartments donated by the authorities in Grozny and Saransk after receiving Russian citizenship.

After this, Depardieu was greeted with special honors in Belarus, where the artist was warmly received at his residence by President Lukashenko himself, who spent a long time teaching the Frenchman how to mow the grass correctly, after which he discussed with him, no less, a program of cooperation in the field of culture and art between Belarus and France, which the artist does not represent in any way.

In response to this, Depardieu confessed his love for Kazakhstan and showered him with compliments on the quality of local products and grape wines.

The Frenchman said that there are many connoisseurs in Kazakhstan classical music, for which he is going to stage his own opera, for which he agrees to stay there for a while.

However, after that the actor did not appear in Kazakhstan. Depardieu’s latest scandalous outburst was his speech at the Berlin Film Festival, where the Frenchman criticized the Oscar-winning film “The Revenant,” advising its participants to “roll in fragrant shit,” since, according to the artist, real films should be “uncomfortable” and make the viewer shout “no.”

Where Gerard Depardieu lives now - about where he disappeared famous actor, and how he has been spending his time in recent months. Since receiving Russian citizenship, Depardieu has continued to work actively, and filming is not limited to domestic cinema - out of 11 latest films(since 2013, after receiving a Russian passport), the actor starred only in the series “Zaitsev +1” and the film “Sex, Coffee and Cigarettes.” Everything else is foreign cinema, mostly French. Therefore, after Gerard Depardieu left Russia, he spends most of his time abroad.

Basically, Gerard Depardieu today lives in Belgium, in the city of Néchin, where even before the Russian epic he bought himself a mansion. Also, in recent years, the actor has spent a lot of time in France and Italy, where, according to rumors, he also owns real estate. One thing is absolutely certain: Depardieu does not stay anywhere for long. In addition, he often calls himself a “citizen of the world,” expressing all his affection for countries far from France and the United States.

Despite the emergence of rumors that Depardieu did not speak very correctly about Russia, and also that he sold the apartments given to him by Kadyrov and Putin, in reality he is still loyal to the Russian Federation. In August 2016, he visited Saransk, and it is also known that he recently filed a lawsuit against his accountant in Russia, who is suspected of embezzling funds. On January 30, 2017, Depardieu was invited to Moscow for trial.

This December, the actor is on a South American tour and will take part in a show in Buenos Aires. In addition to Argentina, Depardieu will live for some time in Peru and Brazil. As you can see, it is difficult to say exactly where Gerard Depardieu lives today, since the actor actively travels, takes part in filming, and, probably, he quite likes this life. Despite the fact that in recent years information has appeared in the press that Depardieu is ill and suffers from alcoholism, judging by the actor’s life, everything is fine with him. Gerard himself in one of his interviews said the following: “I am sick with bulimia, that is, insatiability,” meaning cheerfulness and craving for a vibrant life.

On December 27, Depardieu turned 68 years old, given the high life expectancy in Europe, this is considered an excellent age for work and travel. The impulsive nature of the actor, as well as his desire to obtain citizenship of 7 more states, may well contribute to the fact that in a few years Gerard Depardieu will end up, for example, in Africa.

For this reason, the question of where Depardieu lives now is a rhetorical one, since this man’s life is very changeable.

Gerard Depardieu had another idea - the actor decided to obtain citizenship in Algeria. He spoke about his intention in the French newspaper La Provence.

“Soon I will settle in Algeria, by the way, like Eric Cantona, who lives in Oran. I chose Algeria. This is a magnificent country. I want to say that at home, in Algeria, the Algerians of Marseilles would not dare to say even a quarter of what they say. The feeling of respect is lost. There it is expressed much more strongly,” the actor explained his decision.

Depardieu also added that Algerians are a people great mind, whose life was turned upside down by “illiterate warriors” in 1830 - it was then that France invaded Algeria, and after a long war, in 1848, declared this Maghreb country its territory.

Citizen of the world

It is still unclear how long the actor will live in the North African country. In one interview, he said that he plans to become a citizen of the world by receiving seven passports. And it seems that he is confidently moving towards his goal.

Over the past few years, Depardieu has already received citizenship in Belgium and Russia.

The idea to renounce French citizenship came to Gerard Depardieu in 2012. The main reason was his dissatisfaction with government plans to introduce a luxury tax - those whose annual income exceeds €1 million would have to pay a 75 percent tax.

Depardieu was not going to put up with this and announced his plans to obtain citizenship in Belgium. On this basis, the actor arose serious conflict with then French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault. The politician accused the actor of lack of patriotism and called his act “pathetic.” In response, Depardieu said that over the years of his career he would pay €145 million in taxes, and such government innovations are a punishment for success, creativity and talent.

Something went wrong with Belgium

Having moved to Belgium, Depardieu acquired real estate and started doing business. It was possible to obtain the status of an honorary citizen of the Belgian commune of Estampouy almost a year later - only in August 2013. To life in new country was more comfortable, the actor purchased a villa on the border with France, in the village of Néchin.

Having taken up entrepreneurship, Depardieu decided to engage in industries that most often attract the attention of media persons.

A hotel, a wine shop and shopping mall"Depardieu Space". However, the business turned out to be unprofitable and everything had to be closed in 2015-2016. Due to financial setbacks, the actor put his 450 sq. m. villa up for sale. m., it is now on sale for €1.2 million.

Russia welcomed

At the beginning of 2013, Gerard Depardieu received Russian citizenship.

Vladimir Putin personally presented Depardieu with his Russian passport.

Then, in an address to reporters, the actor said that he was sincerely happy about the new document. “I adore your country, Russia, your people, your history, your writers. I like making films here, in which I work with actors such as Vladimir Mashkov. I adore your culture, your way of thinking."

At the same time, Depardieu noted that he would prefer to live in a village than in such a large metropolis as Moscow.

The legend of the French comedian fulfilled his wish close friend Nikolai Borodachev, who at that time served as head of the State Film Fund. He gave Depardieu an apartment in an elite new building in the center of Saransk.

In 2016, Gerard Depardieu opened a cinema and cultural center named after him in Saransk - the reconstruction of the cinema took two years. At the opening ceremony, the actor spoke to residents of the capital of Mordovia and said that he was proud to live in Saransk.

“I am delighted that there is a wonderful temple in front of the cinema: culture and spirituality should always go side by side,” he said.

Also in 2013, after the actor received an apartment and registration in Saransk, he was received in Chechnya. Less than four days after registering in the Saransk apartment, Gerard Depardieu received the status of an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. As a congratulation, Kadyrov presented Depardieu with a five-room apartment on the 27th floor of one of the new buildings in the Grozny City complex, which he immediately informed his subscribers about on social networks.

“I just presented documents for a five-room apartment and a certificate of honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic to Gerard Depardieu,” read Kadyrov’s post on Instagram.

In 2016, information appeared in the media that Gerard Depardieu sold his apartment in Grozny and moved to live in Belgium, however, according to RIA Novosti, the actor’s producer Arnaud Frille said that there was no talk of this yet. “Depardieu was and continues to be the owner of an apartment in Grozny. There was no sale of the apartment. There wasn’t even any talk about it,” he said then.

Childhood

Gerard was born in large family. They lived poorly. Father Rene Depardieu had no education. Lived in rural areas. He worked as a tinsmith.

Gerard's mother, Alice Marie, grew up in the family of a pilot who was assigned to the city of Chateauroux. When Depardieu's parents met, they immediately fell in love and soon got married. Rene's father worked well, but it did not bring much income. The couple has their first child, Gerard's older brother Alain. After him, Alice gave birth to a daughter, who was named Elena. The family lived only on benefits paid by the state for children. Afterwards our hero Gerard Depardieu was born - this is exactly what this surname actually sounds like. In addition to all this, the father begins to drink and constantly disappears with his drinking buddies. The mother, one might say, raised three children alone. Seven years later, three more heirs appeared in the family: daughter Catherine and two sons: Frank and Eric.

Parents practically did not raise their children. My father didn’t need anything at all except a bottle of alcohol. He was never even at home. The mother was tired of everything being on her, but she never told anyone anything, she kept everything to herself. She's on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

From parental neglect childhood Gerard had problems with speech. He hardly spoke, he communicated with gestures. He even started to stutter. These problems led to the fact that at school Gerard practically did not talk to anyone and was withdrawn.

Soon the Americans opened a military base in Chateauroux. Gerard and his brother Allen were frequent guests of the base, like many other boys. Here they learned everything about American culture, watched American films, and listened to their music. Depardieu often skipped school. He spent this time in an environment that was interesting to him. Thanks to this, young Gerard's studies went downhill. He was even retained for a second year. After this, Depardieu was not interested in attending school at all. And he was given a certificate of incomplete secondary education.

At the age of 14, Gerard got a job as a typesetter in a printing house, but did not stop visiting the American military base.

A circle teaching boxing began operating in the city. Depardieu signed up there. He was not particularly keen on this sport. Mostly more experienced athletes trained with him. In one of the fights, Gerard's nose was broken. It was then that he began to enjoy a little authority among his peers. Many people recognized him. Depardieu disappears in bars.

Young Gerard met a group of guys who were stealing from military base fuel and then resold it. But since Depardieu was not an adult, no formal charges were filed. The police repeatedly arrested their entire “gang”, but were soon released. The police even came to Depardieu’s house to search it, but nothing was found. The parents were advised to send their son to a juvenile colony. But the father was categorical and did not follow the police’s lead. Depardieu was simply registered with the police. He went there every month to check in.

Acting career

Once an acquaintance of Gerard invited him to go to Paris. Depardieu, without telling his parents anything, left with a friend. There he settled in the apartment of a friend, who, in turn, studied acting courses. Having nothing else to do, Depardieu went to study with a friend. There, the teacher unexpectedly chooses Gerard to show one sketch. The teacher liked the way he played. This prompted Depardieu to take up acting.

But the future actor spent a whole year thinking about whether to enroll in the course. But still he plucked up courage and, together with his friends, went to audition for Jean-Laurent Cochet. Depardieu performed one excerpt, but it was so terrible that the audience burst into laughter. But an excellent teacher recognized Depardieu’s talent and gave him a chance to study at school without paying. Moreover, Cochet helped Gerard with the restoration of his speech, paying for all the treatment.

Gerard Depardieu as Rasputin

More and more, Gerard Depardieu begins to get involved in reading French classics. He corrected the pronunciation and tried with different intonations. Yes, Depardieu had a lot of perseverance and perseverance. He becomes best student in Koche's class. Attends various art exhibitions and goes to museums. Gerard later met his first love, Elisabeth Guigno. She was also a student at the school where he himself studied.

Gerard Depardieu plays in a huge number of films. His heroes are varied. Loved in their own way. We all remember the films with his participation: the comedy “My Dad is a Hero”, the melodrama “Moon in the Gutter”, the historical films “Danton”, “Vatel”, “Vidocq”, “Napoleon”, the classic films “Cyrano de Bergerac”.

The high-profile picture in which Gerard starred was “Waltzing.” The film contains immoral behavior of the characters, group sex, sex with elements of violence, with minors, and homosexuality. All this caused a colossal scandal among the public. This picture was viewed by more than five million people. The film took 3rd place in box office receipts. Of course, this picture meant a lot to Depardieu. This the most important stage his life. After the film was released, people started talking about Depardieu as a professional. Moreover, completely diverse genres.

In the Soviet Union, Gerard also became famous for the films “Unlucky”, “Dads”, “Runaways”, “Asterix. Later films were released: “Asterix and Obelix against Caesar”, “The Woman from the Ganges”, “Baroque”, “The Count of Monte Cristo”, “The Man in the Iron Mask”.

Gerard Depardieu was even a model for Russian artist Georgy Shishkin. I was also at his exhibition in Paris.

Gerard participated in the recording of the opera and was the narrator.

Awards

For the film “The Prize”, Gerard received the Volpi Cup for Best Actor in the film “Police” at the Venice Film Festival.

Depardieu is also an “Honorary Udmurt”. He also received the title of honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. The President of Chechnya himself donated a five-room apartment in Grozny on the 27th floor.

Personal life of Gerard Depardieu

Gerard Depardieu is an eternal womanizer in life, a lover of women. During his life he had a huge number of them. Officially, Depardieu has four children. Two from ex-wife Elizabeth Depardieu. The children followed in their father's footsteps by becoming actors.

It is also confirmed that Gerard acknowledged two illegitimate children. After dating model Karin Sila, they had a daughter, Roxana, who is also an actress. Then there was an affair with the Frenchwoman Hélène Bizot, the daughter of a famous Buddhist. She gave Gerard a son, who was named after Depardieu's friend who died, Jean.

But, as the actor himself says, he has as many as twenty children, and all of them are from different women. He simply negotiated with them, paying money for non-disclosure of this secret.

Depardieu is a fan of the French Paris Saint-Germain, and in Russia he is a fan of Terek, a team from Grozny.

Russian citizenship

In December 2012, he moved to live in Belgium to avoid paying luxury tax. And after some time he completely renounced French citizenship. Depardieu said: “I am a citizen of the world, not of France.”

And in January 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin granted Gerard Russian citizenship. Depardieu explains his desire to obtain Russian citizenship: “I adore your country, Russia, your people, your history, your writers. I like making films here, in which I work with actors such as Vladimir Mashkov. I adore your culture, your way of thinking. My father was a communist at one time and listened to Radio Moscow! This is also part of my culture... I love your President Vladimir Putin very much, and this is mutual... Russia is a country of great democracy, this is not a country where the prime minister could call a citizen of his country a pathetic person.” Depardieu receives a Russian passport in January. He visited Mordovia, where he was offered to become the Minister of Culture of Mordovia, as well as the choice of an apartment or private house. Gerard received a residence permit in the city of Saransk on Democratic Street.

Gerard Depardieu in once again was going to sell all his property and move to Belarus. “But not forever,” he clarified to Le Figaro journalists. The actor plans to settle among the peasants: he says it’s beautiful there, and President of Belarus Lukashenko is a good person

Depardieu goes to the countryside, to the peasants, into the wilderness. He is tired of France, its right and left, journalists, migrants and a bunch of Angela Merkel and Matteo Renzi. Goodbye EU! Hello, Belarus. It’s beautiful there and the president is good, the actor shared with reporters. He knows, he was there in July, haymaking with Lukashenko. He waved a hand scythe, fed horses with refined sugar and drove a tractor with Alexander Grigorievich in a cramped cabin, shoulder to shoulder, like Asterix and Obelix.

This is “little Switzerland” that Depardieu describes Belarus. He likes everything there exclusively - even the tax on parasitism. This is not France, where they wanted to take 75% of their income from those who work and earn a lot. And if you remember, it was this tax that three years ago made Depardieu lose his temper, go to Russia, get citizenship here, an apartment in Saransk, an apartment in Grozny... By the way, will the actor be given housing in Belarus? Belarusian political scientist Viktor Martinovich answers.

Victor MartinovichBelarusian political scientist“Gerard Depardieu is the best Chechen actor I know. He is, of course, wonderful. In Belarus he is known as a grass cutter; here he went out to mow with the president. We look forward to his arrival in Belarus. I think they will give him a house. Perhaps this house, before being donated, will be wrested from someone according to the Belarusian tradition. I think Depardieu will not be embarrassed by this.”

Depardieu sold his Russian real estate within six months. And he left for Belgium, where in addition to the newly created title “Honorary Udmurt” he received another one: honorary citizen of the Belgian commune of Estampouy. Life in the kingdom was not going well. The actor headed south, to Italy, where, in fact, he now lives before moving to Belarus. By the way, he doesn’t intend to take root there either: he’ll stay there and then move on, somewhere else. So what is the reason for this inconstancy? And why did the actor choose Belarus? The head of the Communicator group, Victor Michaelson, answers.

Victor Mikaelson Head of the Communicator group“He just lives for his own pleasure. He is a fairly wealthy man. I was always a little eccentric. Not very intelligent. Apparently, they offered him something interesting, he went there, had a drink with some of the people there and thought that he also wanted to go to Belarus. As for Depardieu, he is extremely sociable. I once boasted in one company that I drank vodka with him, everyone present laughed and said that they did too. Who didn't drink vodka with him? I don’t see any cunning or far-reaching plans in him, he’s such a simple guy who has great opportunities, and he realizes these opportunities for his own pleasure.”

One of Depardieu’s pleasures has already become the topic of a serious conversation with doctors. The actor said that on some days he drinks 14 bottles of alcohol a day. In this sense, moving to the countryside could have a negative impact on the health of 65-year-old Depardieu. According to WHO, five years ago Belarus was the European leader in alcohol consumption. And when they say “squirrel”, they don’t always mean a furry animal from the order of rodents.
