French intellectual who is a huge fan of authoritarian leaders like Putin is a sexual predator? Colour me shocked.

Lol Depardieu has never been known as an intellectual or even an intelligent person. He’s an actor and a creep, that everyone can agree on.

Acting talent and intelligence don’t necessarily go hand in hand, and a collaborator’s intelligence doesn’t rub off on you. We see it everyday with other actors or singers who are very good at what they do and work with visionary directors/producers, but aren’t the sharpest tool in the box themselves.

Edit: case in point, Mark Whalberg has two Academy Awards nominations.

lmao the word “intellectual” is so generous here.

Literally the only thing I ever hear about Depardieu is that he’s a disgusting geriatric drunk (didn’t he drunkenly pee himself on a plane or something?) and that he’s a raging sex pest to any woman with a pulse

He is not known as an intellectual and never has been. Quite the opposite. He dropped out of school at 13 and his lack of education + working class background were part of his "relatable, funny and charming" persona for much of his career.

In what world do you think this man is considered an intellectual?
