Paris (France), Mar 25 (LaPresse) – ‘I won't hide, it's tough’. Gerard Depardieu took the floor in the courtroom to testify on the second day of his trial over allegations of sexual abuse of two women while filming a movie in 2021. The 76-year-old French actor is accused of groping a 54-year-old interior designer and a 34-year-old assistant director during the production of the film ‘Les Volets Verts’. Depardieu denies any wrongdoing. ‘I've always been told I have a Russian temperament, I don't know if it's the drinking or the vulgarity,’ added the actor, who faces up to five years in prison and a 75,000 euro fine if convicted.
