France becoming land of 'imbeciles and stinky cheese' says Depardieu
Listen | Print
By AFP     2 hours ago in Politics

Larger-than-life actor Gerard Depardieu said his homeland France is becoming a playground for foreigners "populated by imbeciles making wine and stinky cheese", according to an interview published Thursday.

The maverick performer, 67, has taken aim at France before. He was granted Russian citizenship in 2013 after befriending strongman President Vladimir Putin and lambasting tax rates on top earners in his native land.

When asked during the interview if he considers himself French, Depardieu told Corriere della Sera: "No, I'm a citizen of the world. France is likely to become a Disneyland for foreigners, populated by imbeciles making wine and stinky cheese for tourists."

Isn’t Depardieu France’s version of Gary Busey?

The French are not all cheese-eating surrender monkeys. And certainment, mon ami, they don't all look like this:

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
