French actor Gaspard Ulliel, winner of two César awards and known for his performance in “Saint Laurent” or “Hannibal, the origin of evil”, has been seriously injured in a ski accident in the Alps and is hospitalized with a compromised vital prognosis, according to the French press.
The 37-year-old interpreter suffered an accident last Tuesday at the La Rosière resort in Savoy, the causes of which have not yet been clarified, although the impact occurred when he collided with another skier, according to the BFM network and other local media.
Ulliel, who was unconscious, had to be transported by helicopter to Grenoble University Hospital, where he is still admitted.
The Albertville Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed the opening of an investigation to clarify the facts.
His agent has refused to comment on his health to the press.
The actor, father of a six-year-old boy with the model Gaëlle Pietri, rose to fame at the age of 19 in the film “Les Égarés”, alongside Emmanuelle Béart, and shortly after with Audrey Tautou in “Long Sunday of Dating” which earned him the César Award for Best Newcomer.
He won a César again in 2017, in the category of best actor, for his performance in the film “Only the end of the world”, by Canadian Xavier Dolan.
He is one of the actors with the longest international career and is due to premiere the Marvel series “Moon Knight” soon.
