The young French actor Gaspard Ulliel, the face of Chanel’s Perfume “Bleu” advertising and famous for his portrayal of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in a 2014 biopic YSL, and also as the young Hannibal Lector in the prequel “Hannibal Rising” in the Thomas Harris series of novels; has died at the age of only 37 following a skiing accident in which it is believed he was involved in a collision whilst skiing in the Alps, it was revealed by French media today.
He had been on life-support following the accident on Tuesday.
Ulliel, who won a French Cesar award for best actor for his role in “It’s Only the End of the World,” a film by director Xavier Dolan in 2017, was the face of the Bleu de Chanel men’s fragrance.
“French cinema is losing a huge talent, full of charm and energy,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire posted on Twitter.
