Thus, Gérard Depardieu has just postponed his concerts planned at the Anthéa in Antibes this evening and tomorrow, because “at this complicated moment”, as Daniel Benoin, director of the Anthéa, indicated in
Figaro
.
“At the time when Vladimir Putin is carrying out heavy attacks against Kiev and Ukraine, it was not auspicious.

Since 2013, the actor of Les
Valseuses
has Russian nationality, his passport having been delivered to him personally by Vladimir Putin.
From interview to interview, Gérard Depardieu continues to praise the merits of the former KGB agent.
And since my friends' friends are my friends, he even posed, the same year, very relaxed, with Ramzan Kadyrov, President of Chechnya, who won 99.6% of the votes in the last legislative elections.

Proof that Gérard Depardieu is a faithful and loyal man in friendship, when he opened his Instagram account last month, he immediately published a photo of himself in front of a framed portrait where he hugs Vladimir Poutine all smiles, his nose glued to his play.
And a caption that sums it all up: “Friendship”.

And after all, in friendship, can't we tell each other everything?
It remains to be seen whether the adage also holds true with the leader of the Kremlin, whose opponents often end up imprisoned, poisoned or dead.
