French actor Gérard Depardieu (pictured) has just made a shocking admission: He used to be a gay child prostitute.
In his new autobiography It Happened Like That (Ca C’est Fait Comme Ca), Depardieu writes that he began working as a prostitute when he was just 10 years old. (Though he maintains he looked like he was 15.)
“I’ve known since I was very young that I please homosexuals,” Depardieu says. He claims that men would approach him for sex and “I would ask them for money.”
65-year-old Depardieu has appeared in more than 170 movies since 1967. In 1990, he was nominated for an Academy Award as best actor for his work in the drama Cyrano de Bergerac.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As he began to reach maturity, Depardieu says he started robbing his male clients to supplement his income.
“At 20 the thug in me was alive and kicking,” he says. “I would rip some of them off … beat up some bloke and leave with all his money.”
In addition to turning tricks, Depardieu says that he and an accomplice would dig up newly buried bodies in cemeteries to steal their shoes and jewelry.
But those dark days are long past him. Today, Depardieu not only has a successful acting career, but he also owns a vineyard and is estimated to be worth around $200 million. Naturally, he spends much of his time drinking. In a recent interview, he said he consumes more than a dozen bottles of wine per day.
“I can absorb 12, 13, 14 bottles … per day,” he said. “All you need is a 10-minute nap and voilà, a slurp of rosé wine and I feel as fresh as a daisy!”

He was in a controversy where in an interview he supposedly said he had been involved in multiple rapes.
When the backlash happened he tried to say that he never said it.

He urinated on an airplane when he was told to stay in his seat. What a prize.

That picture gives me ‘handsome’ old lady in a denim dress.
I wonder how long it took the build up the tolerance to a dozen bottles of wine a day. The thought of it sloshing around in his gut during those naps; I feel sorry for any woman (or man) who gets near him.
youknow
I wonder how long it will be before he gets diabetes and dies?

He’s also BFF with Putin, who gave him Russian citizenship so he could avoid taxes.

Good actor but awful human being. It amazes me how he lets himself go…Look at him in a film like Bertolucci’s ” 1900 “: he was svelte them and now…Put the blame on those vine bottles!

Why must we respond with such vitriol? He did these things. We all have done things that we probably shouldn’t have. Live and let live. Just be done with it. So much negativity in this world..must we add to it…

@jasentylar:
Can all of the touchy feeley moral equivalency people really just kind of …shut up?
Oh my My My, yes, so according to you saying that somebody who admitted to rape, robber etc.. is a bad person is JUST as bad as him raping and robbing people.
I mean really?

Grade A Certified ham, in several senses of the term. Helluva great actor, helluva yucky human. I’ll continue to enjoy his performances at the movies, but it grows harder to disassociate the on-screen character persona with the real-life crummy guy.

He’s all kinds of awful.

“I’ve known since very young that I please homosexuals.”
I rolled my eyes so much they’re now in the palms of my hands like two soft marbles.

This guy is shopping a book. A revelation as such without proof shows just how “interesting” his life/career must have been. Quite frankly, were I him and just needed to say something in writing, I would have chose to write about the path to two hundred plus million dollars rather than bring up shit that cant be verified and force people to remember movies they have either never heard of or long since forgotten.
A little troll who appears on this page quite often and calls himself an actor just wrote a book that included some b/s about his getting a girl pregnant at twelve or thirteen and growing up on the “hood”. The girl has no credibility (he seems to not be able to locate her) and Chula Vista, where he grew up, is FAR from a hood, especially during the eighties. Or did he make up living in Chula Vista a long time ago and forgot? Desperation does make one forget these things.
It must be awful to want attention so bad you have to write shit like that just to make people remember you are alive and still think you are important/famous.
