The actor was to lend his voice to The Most Precious Goods, which tells the story of a couple of Polish lumberjacks who, during the Second World War, rescue a baby who fell from a train taking deportees to the concentration camp. Auschwitz. “Only tests had been carried out,” specifies Bertrand de Labbey.

The actor has been indicted since 2020 for “rape” and “sexual assault” on actress Charlotte Arnould, who denounced two rapes at the star's Parisian home at the end of August 2018. In the summer of 2020, she obtained that the investigation, first closed by the Paris prosecutor's office in June 2019, be entrusted to an investigating judge.

In April, Médiapart revealed the testimonies of 13 women accusing Gérard Depardieu of sexual violence.

The prosecution also specified that the investigation opened in July 2020 following the actress' complaint was continuing.
