It just happened like that
A unique destiny, a powerful artist, a free-thinking man that these words unveil with accuracy, strength and modesty
A superb and extravagant artist, Gerard Depardieu has been driven by his inner voice since childhood.
It dictates his life, his choices, his way of being and his way of seeing the world. It is this voice, and its absolute sincerity, that this book was able to capture for the first time.
From the very first page he opens his soul to us, we penetrate into his inner monologue and are thus able to see the world through his eyes.
The eyes of a child who should not have been born, that the school system rejected, who had nothing to lose because he had nothing, and who has spent his life forcing fate. A hoodlum at 14 who became an actor by pure chance, Gérard Depardieu constructed his life as a free man, without prejudice nor ties, ignoring the codes, going wherever he wanted and enjoying the sunshine on the way.
