He continues to be at the heart of media attention. Since the broadcast of Additional investigations early December, the case of Gérard Depardieu divides. While a forum has emerged to defend him, two other counter-opinions were publishedsigned by thousands of artists, and some of his supporters made an about-face. Emmanuel Macron, Carole Bouquet, François Hollande, everyone gave their opinion and this Wednesday January 3, it was the turn of Kev Adams to speak : “I think it’s definitely the greatest French actor. Without a doubt, moreover”he began confidently, adding : “Me, I loved working with him, I learned a lot. And obviously, he never showed any inappropriate behavior, whether verbal or physical, on the film set.”
In the middle of a promotional tour for his new film Retirement home 2the comedian took a risk by tackling theThe thorny subject of the Depardieu affair. Remember that the actor starred in the first part of Kev Adams’ film. This is perhaps why the comedian chose the premiere of his film to return to the comments made by the interpreter of Obélix (remarks relayed by Tele-Leisure): “I think many of you have seen some pretty shocking images,” he declared, adding: “Obviously, I fully comply with justice, he was offensive, aggressive. If he was disrespectful in any way to anyone, obviouslyhe should be punished for thisno matter what he did or what he built.”
The calm before the storm?
Kev Adams has publicly chosen to support Gérard Depardieu, at least while respecting his presumption of innocence. However, if this could have been accepted by part of the public, other comments on the talent and career of the actor risk provoking reactions : “I didn’t witness that, I didn’t see it with my own eyes“, he explained, specifying : “Yes, I have a lot of love for this guy and I think it’s a very, very big one.” He concludes by expressing his most sincere wishes to his friend, while emphasizing that he will side with justice: “And I hope everything goes well for him and if this is not the case, it is because justice will have decided otherwise because it will certainly be justified and deserved. But for now, I wish him the best.“
