After talking about the film inspired by the series Dix pour cent to be shot this year, Philippe Vandel then asked the actress about Gérard Depardieu with whom she starred in the film The Green Shutters in 2020. "I accepted the invitation of Jean Becker, a filmmaker whose work I admire, a very elegant person, and it's true that, it's common knowledge, I, Gérard Depardieu, is the crudest person I've ever met in my life," the actress said.

These statements support the testimony of Anouk Grinberg, who also starred in the feature film in question with the actor and who told our colleagues at Elle: "I heard him spouting his sexual garbage to the other women on the set. I was, in a way, complicit: I didn't slap him when he spoke very badly to women, I didn't say to him "Shut up!". (...) And he would say with a sneer: "I have to be careful, the justice system is pissing me off because of a little girl who is dragging me to court." It made him laugh and everyone was silent."

Shocked by the images of "Further Investigation"
Stéfi Celma then clarifies that she consciously chose to distance herself from the actor during the film's canning: "What I told myself quite quickly was that, in order for the shoot to go well, I had to stay at a safe distance in the end." Philippe Vandel asked him for clarification. "You're saying that you kept your distance from Gérard Depardieu on set, literally or figuratively?""Back and forth," she replied. I didn't get that education by hearing profanity on a regular basis like that, so that's what I found to finally live the shoot as well as possible. »

The actress then spoke about the "Complement" showing excerpts from a film shot in North Korea in which Gérard Depardieu made obscene remarks about women and sexualized a little girl. "I saw the 'Further Investigation' like everyone else, so I was very shocked by these images and my position is clear: impunity is no, abuse of power, abuse of notoriety, is stop. I think maybe 50 years ago it was something that could pass but today it's not the case anymore," she said.
