Gerard Depardieu compared Russia to his barn. Lives in Belarusian Polesie... magician Gerard Depardieu Where does Gerard Depardieu live in the year

Another idea appeared - 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 the Algerians are a people of great intelligence, whose lives were turned upside down by “illiterate warriors” in 1830 - that’s when 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 an 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 of ​​giving up 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 had a serious conflict with the then Prime Minister of France, 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.

Depardieu personally presented the 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 love making films here where I work with actors like . 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, 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 in Saransk and Cultural Center named after itself - the reconstruction of the cinema lasted 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 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 a report, 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.

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 three years ago that 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 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 village could negatively affect 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.

Latest news about the location of the actor, who recently planned to settle in Russia. Does he plan to return to his new homeland?

Since receiving Russian citizenship, Depardieu has continued to work actively, but filming in domestic cinema has been limited to roles in the series “Zaitsev +1” and the film “Sex, Coffee and Cigarettes.” Everything else is foreign cinema, mostly French. That's why most of his time, after he spends abroad.

In 2019, Gerard Depardieu mainly lives in Paris. He's not filming much this year, but last news they were talking about him in relation to the French prosecutor's office, where he was constantly being dragged in the case of the rape of a certain actress. In June 2019, the case was closed due to insufficient evidence.

Previously, Depardieu lived in Belgium, in the rural province of Nechin (Nechin), where even before the Russian epic he bought a mansion for himself. The location was just a few hundred meters from the French border. Considering that Belgium is part of the European Union and the border itself has long been gone, there are no obstacles for the actor to travel to France. But the tax regime at that time was more favorable.
In the spring of 2019, it became known that Depardieu had put his house in Belgium up for sale. At the same time, a year before, he also sold the house, but then reversed this decision. It is unknown whether the deal ultimately took place.

Also for last years the actor spent a lot of time in Italy, where, according to rumors, he also owns real estate. One thing is absolutely certain: Depardieu does not stay anywhere for long. It is not for nothing that he often calls himself a “citizen of the world,” expressing all his affection for countries far from France and the United States.

In 2018, Depardieu starred in the film My Wife's Lover, where he looked in pretty good shape. Of course, this is not the slender young man who starred in escape scenes and beat enemies in the faces, but a very strong old man, capable of playing love scenes.

Despite the emergence of rumors that he did not speak very correctly, 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.

Last December, the actor was on a South American tour and took part in a show in Buenos Aires. In addition to Argentina, Depardieu lived for some time in Peru and Brazil.

On December 27, Depardieu will turn 71, 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 for 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 in 2019 is a difficult one; this man’s life is very changeable, which he has been hiding from the media in recent years. It is quite possible that the actor is sick, since his Instagram contains mostly photographs from a young age, which happens when managers of older celebrities try to hide some of their illnesses. Moreover, there is no information about Gerard’s new filming.

There is one more star resident in Russia. The famous actor Gerard Depardieu, who played over 170 roles on screen, and many films with his participation were included in the golden collection of French and world cinema, said at the end of last year that he would like to become a citizen of Russia. Earlier this year, he officially received Russian citizenship. However, is he going to famous actor live in Russia and Where does Gerard Depardieu live? Now?

It is not yet clear which country the star will choose, since in one of his interviews he stated that three countries are now ready to accept him - Belgium, where Depardieu has a house, Montenegro, where he has many friends and has his own business, as well as Russia, which has already included him in the list of its citizens.

There were various rumors on the real estate market about where the famous actor was going to settle if Russia became his country of residence. For example, there was talk that Gerard Depardieu was going to buy a mansion in Kaliningrad region, where the imperative of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, once lived. By the way, it was put up for sale by producer Yana Rudkovskaya. However, recently it became known that the actor is not going to purchase this house. Another rumor is associated with an equally famous figure - Ramzan Kadyrov, who has allegedly already allocated a five-room apartment for the actor in Grozny.

Previously in Western media wrote that the actor became the owner of a house in Belgium in the town of Néchin, and put his Parisian mansion up for sale for 50 million euros. By the way, if Depardieu sells his mansion, he can easily buy the most expensive apartment in Moscow. However, Gerard Depardieu has not yet moved to Russia and lives in Belgium.

In response to message No. 60 from Ivan:
Educators.
He is over 30, he successful businessman, him 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 big 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, at a 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 in public transport climbs right through, not caring about the fact that first they 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.
It's just small part 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.
And who are you? The choice is yours.
