This is the first time she has spoken. Just a month after the terrible accident that killed Gaspard Ulliel, Gaëlle Pietri, the mother of her son, wanted to speak on Instagram.
It is a drama that has mourned the world of cinema. The one who had played Yves Saint Laurent died on January 19, in a skiing accident in Savoie. After the announcement of the death of the 37-year-old actor, many personalities – including the Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot – had expressed their deep sadness. Devastated by the disappearance of the father of her son Orso, Gaëlle Pietri had chosen to remain silent. But the one who was no longer in a relationship with Gaspard Ulliel still paid him a last tribute.
Under a clean picture of the sea, which echoes one of the passions of the actor, the young woman underlined the respect of the public, and evoked “the discretion and the humility” of Gaspard Ulliel.
“Gaspard was a diver, sensitive to climate issues, and concerned about the protection of underwater diversity, he would have liked the momentum aroused by his disappearance to go to the defense of these causes that were close to his heart”, specifies Gaëlle Pietri.
Thus, after several touching words, the ex-companion of the actor launched a call for donations to support the Tara Ocean Foundation, “in memory of Gaspard”.
