He had been hospitalized in emergency Tuesday after a skiing accident. Actor Gaspard Ulliel died on Wednesday at the age of 37 from his injuries, his family announced in a statement sent by his agent. “Victim of a skiing accident on Wednesday, Gaspard Ulliel died”, indicates this brief press release.

The actor who was spending a family vacation in Savoie collided on Tuesday with another skier at the crossroads of two blue slopes, said a spokeswoman for the resort of La Rosière (Savoie). Shortly before 4 p.m., he was transported by helicopter to the Grenoble University Hospital, suffering from significant head trauma.

An investigation was opened and entrusted to the CRS Alpes. The second skier did not need to be airlifted, according to the spokesperson.

During an eclectic career, Gaspard Ulliel had toured alongside big names in French cinema, such as Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu. Revealed at the age of 19 in « Les Égarés » by André Téchiné alongside Emmanuelle Béart, his interpretation of a soldier of the First World War in « A long Sunday of engagement » by Jean-Pierre Jeunet had earned him the César du best male prospect in 2005.

This son of two stylists had also played the famous couturier Yves Saint Laurent in the biopic directed by Bertrand Bonello in 2014 and in 2017, he had won the César for best actor for his role in “Just the end of the world” by Xavier Dolan.

He had a career in France but also internationally and will soon be starring in the Marvel series « Moon Knight » broadcast on Disney +.

His disappearance led to an avalanche of reactions in the world of cinema but also within the government. “Gaspard Ulliel grew up with cinema and cinema grew with him. They loved each other madly, ”wrote Jean Castex on Twitter. “It is with a heavy heart that we will now see his most beautiful interpretations and meet this certain gaze”, adds the Prime Minister.
