"Gérard Depardieu: His Filming"
by Josephine Banks
At the side of Glenn Close, alias Cruella, he embodies Monsieur Le Pelt, a furrier with few scruples. Under way for an embarrassment or a César?
A role to get under your skin? Gégé follows his nose. With a lively expression, an alert ear, our national Depardieu makes his appearance in 102 Dalmatians, a sequel to 101 Dalmatians, produced by Disney Studios for a budget of 520 million francs. At his side, Glenn Close, alias Cruella De Vil, more bitch than ever... Since their meeting to New York, in 1992, the actress has had a fixation on the so talented "Dipardiou": "A strong nature," she declared to Figaro then. "I absolutely want to play a strong role with him, to confront me, to play off each other." It is a done deal: Gégé is part of the casting.

A role as good a marrow-bone
After Jean Valjean, Honoré de Balzac, Obélix, Portos ... the actor, who doesn't have hair on his hands, embodies Monsieur Le Pelt, awful hireling of the ignoble Cruella. A character without scruples, ready to gather 102 Dalmatian puppies to allow Miss De Vil to make the coat of her dreams. But this time, their demonic association will be pained by a royal poodle, shrewd like a... monkey. The first turn of the crank took place March 12 in the Shepperton studios, in the south of London (where the first movie had been shot). Last April 1st, the entire crew disembarked in Paris for five days. On Avenue Foch, where the filming took place, besides the impressive Glenn Close, one could discover a new Gégé: looking like "a football player from around 1986." A toilette that, finally, gives him hair. Even like that, Gégé has style! [literally 'a du chien' - 'has the dog']

The low tail -- Gégé smells trouble: if he doesn't manage to find 102 Dalmatian puppies, the demonic Miss DeVil, incarnated by the fatal Glenn Close, is going to make his life hell. Click for close-up.
