Russian Actor Gerard Depardieu

January 07, 2013

In spite of saying that he is still French and that he still hopes to get a dual Belgian citizenship, French actor Gerard Depardieu received a Russian passport from the hands of the Russian president. He visited Saransk, the capital of the Russian Republic of Mordovia, where he was offered a title of Honorable Mordovian, keys to a new apartment, and was given two kittens as a present from people of Saransk.

Reportedly, Mr. Depardieu developed close ties with Russia and filmed several movies there, such as Rasputin, where he played the lead role.
MCPL has several movies featuring the famous Russian actor Gerard Depardieu: 

• My afternoons with Margueritte
• Inspector Bellamy
• The Last Metro
• La Vie en Rose
• The Count of Monte Cristo
