Famous Friends Mourn Gaspard Ulliel After Tragic Death: 'He Gave So Much'

French actor, Gaspard Ulliel, has passed away at 37 years old.

It was reported that the award-winning actor had been involved in a collision on the ski slopes in the Savoie region of the French Alps. He was immediately transported by helicopter to a hospital in Grenoble with a head injury. He did not survive.

Many fans were shocked that Ulliel had passed away, especially after many fans were looking forward to his role in Marvel’s upcoming “Moon Knight” series. The trailer for the Disney+ series had debuted earlier this week.

Ulliel's first English language film was as a young Hannibal Lecter in 2007's “Hannibal Rising.”

In 2002 and 2003, he was nominated for a Cesar Award for Most Promising Actor. He finally won in 2004 for his role in “A Very Long Engagement,” in which he co-starred with actress Audrey Tautou. In 2017, he won another Cesar Award for Best Actor for his role in “It’s Only the End of the World.”

Ulliel had been in a relationship with French model and singer Gaëlle Piétri. On February 9, 2016, the couple welcomed their first child.

Many colleagues and fans took to social media to express their condolences for the late actor.

Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux made a statement regarding his passing:

“Gaspard was part of the young generation that is shaping the future of French cinema. He always knew how to choose his films and determine the direction of his career, which never ceased to be full of promise. His appearances on the red carpet, from Bertrand Tavernier’s Princess of Montpensier to Xavier Dolan’s It’s Only the End of the World, were coupled with his kind and modest presence. He was as bright as he was talented. He gave so much, and we will never forget him.”

The Prime Minister of France, Jean Castex, tweeted, "Gaspard Ulliel grew up with cinema and cinema grew with him. They loved each other madly. It is with a heavy heart that we will now see his most beautiful interpretations and meet this certain look. We are losing a French actor."

"Hannibal Rising" co-star Peter Webber tweeted, "Shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Gaspard Ulliel at such a young age in a skiing accident. I have such fond memories of working with him all those years ago on Hannibal Rising. Rest in peace, dear friend."

French actor Pierre Niney tweeted, "Broken heart. Gaspard was benevolence and kindness. Beauty and talent. Thoughts to his family."

The French Minister of Finance, Bruno Le Maire, tweeted, "French cinema is losing great talent, full of charm and energy."

Filmmaker Xavier Dolan took to Instagram to say: "It is implausible, insane, and so painful to even think of writing these words. Your discreet laughter, your watchful eye. Your scar. Your talent. Your listening. Your whispers, your kindness. All the features of your person were in fact born of a sparkling sweetness. It is your whole being that has transformed my life, a being that I loved deeply, and that I will always love. I can’t say anything else, I’m exhausted, stunned by your departure."
