Gerard Depardieu, an accomplished actor, French vineyard co-owner, and occasional spokesman for Zachodni WBK, a Polish bank, added another credential to his impressive resume.
He claims to be a s** therapist for celebrities.
At the Montreal World film festival, the 61-year-old actor revealed that he helped Robert De Niro maintain an erection during a s** scene in the Italian movie 1900.
Depardieu’s secret recipe involved a combination of water and Tiger Balm, a Chinese heat rub, which he claims ensured that De Niro was able to maintain his erection throughout the scene that required full-frontal nudity.
Depardieu and De Niro have maintained a strong friendship since then.
1900 was directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and premiered at the 1976 Cannes film festival.
The movie stars Depardieu and De Niro as two friends who come of age amidst political unrest in Italy.
The film features several s** scenes.
Depardieu’s recent films include In the Beginning, directed by Xavier Giannoli, and Bellamy, the last picture by the late Claude Chabrol.
However, in recent weeks, he has gained more attention for his off-screen remarks.
His chuckling reminiscences about working with De Niro come shortly after his comments about Juliette Binoche, a fellow French actress, whom he scathingly dismissed as “nothing.”
Depardieu’s sexual advice to De Niro is not the first time the actor has made headlines for his eccentric behavior.
In 2011, he urinated in the aisle of an Air France flight after being told he could not use the bathroom during takeoff.
In 2012, Depardieu moved to Belgium to avoid France’s high taxes.
In 2013, he became a Russian citizen, and later that year, he opened a restaurant in Moscow.
Depardieu’s claim of helping De Niro maintain an erection during a s** scene has sparked mixed reactions from fans and critics.
Some have praised his ingenuity, while others have criticized him for sharing private information about his friend.
The Montreal World Film Festival, where Depardieu made his revelations, is an annual event that showcases films from around the world.
The festival was founded in 1977 and has become one of the largest international film festivals in North America.
Depardieu is known for his impressive acting career, which spans over five decades.
He has received numerous awards, including a César Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA Award.
He has also been nominated for an Academy Award twice.
De Niro is a legendary actor known for his roles in iconic movies such as The Godfather Part II, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas.
He has won two Academy Awards and has been nominated for several others.
