2024 - Gaspard Ulliel died at the age of 37: he did not survive his terrible skiing accident

Gaspard Ulliel died on Wednesday January 19. The 37-year-old actor had been the victim of a terrible skiing accident the day before in Savoie.

The world of cinema has just lost one of its stars, mowed down in mid-flight. This Wednesday, January 19, Gaspard Ulliel died at the age of 37, as his family announced in a press release sent to AFP by his agent. The actor, twice Caesarized, had been the victim, the day before, of a terrible skiing accident in Savoie. Taken care of by the emergency services directly on the ski slope where he had just collided with another skier, unconscious, then transported to Grenoble hospital, he could not be saved. Victim of a serious head trauma, the 37-year-old actor had undergone emergency surgery. According to concordant sources from BFMTV, he was at the crossroads of two blue tracks when the accident took place.

French cinema has therefore just lost one of its most acclaimed actors of the young generation. His career began at an early age, with two appearances in A woman in white, with Sandrine Bonnaire in 1996 then The Pact of the Wolves by Christophe Gans in 2001. Gaspard Ulliel was then revealed to the general public in 2002, when he was only 17, thanks to his role in Kiss whoever you want, a film by Michel Blanc. It is above all its role in The Lost, then his moving performance in A long engagement Sunday, thanks to which he won the César for Best Male Hope, which propelled him into the deep end. Subsequently, Gaspard Ulliel’s career took on an international dimension as he toured abroad several times.

Gaspard Ulliel: his final project released in March

In 2007, after his incarnation as Jacquou the crunchy, he played in Hannibal Lecter: The Origins of Evil. Thereafter, he multiplied the roles: in Yves Saint Laurent where he embodied the role of the fashion designer then in Just the end of the world by Xavier Dolan alongside Nathalie Baye, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux and Vincent Cassel, a film that won him the César for Best Actor. Her last appearance in the cinema dates back to 2019, in Sybil, by Justine Triet, with Virginie Efira. Next March he is due to appear in the Marvel series Moon Knight, which will air on Disney+. Model and Chanel muse, Gaspard Ulliel had been in a relationship with Gaëlle Pietri for several years. The two gave birth to a baby boy, Orso, six years ago.
