Gaspard Ulliel, French Actor and Moon Knight Co-Star, Dead at 37
French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who will next be seen in Disney+’s upcoming Moon Knight series, has died at age 37 following a ski accident, according to French news agency AFP.
Ulliel had reportedly been hospitalized on Tuesday after colliding with another skier in the Savoie region of the Alps, but ultimately succumbed to a significant head injury. TVLine has reached out to Ulliel’s representatives for additional details.
The actor will appear in Moon Knight as villain Anton Mogart aka Midnight Man. The six-episode series premieres Wednesday, March 30; as of early October, Moon Knight had completed its filming in Budapest, and was returning to Atlanta to wrap production. A rep for Disney+ did not immediately respond to TVLine’s request for comment regarding any unfinished scenes for Ulliel.
Prior to landing his role in Moon Knight, Ulliel’s credits included the French series Il Etait Une Seconde Fois (released in English as Twice Upon a Time), the 2016 film Juste la fin du Monde (for which he earned multiple awards and nominations), the 2014 film Saint Laurent, and the title role in 2007’s Hannibal Rising prequel, the fifth film of the Hannibal Lecter franchise.
Ulliel is survived by his 6 year-old son, Orso, and his girlfriend, Gaëlle Piétri.
Loved how an AD about Skiing in Montana popped up with this story…..ugh.
Much sympathy to his family and loved ones.While any death is to be mourned it’s always especially tragic when a person is still young and the death is unexpected.
This is so sad. So young and so unexpected. I am so sorry to hear about this. Condolences to his loved ones. R.I.P.
This is terribly sad. So so young. It’s going to be bittersweet watching the series knowing he has passed. What a start to 2022 It’s horrid.
Oh, my goodness that it so sad and shocking.
He was one of the actors that has a magnetism that drew you into his characters! He will be missed by his fans! Sympathy to his family!
Wow. I first learned of Gaspard way back in the day with Twilight fanfic photos. He was our Edward Cullen for quite awhile, still is to some. One of my most favorite YouTube ads with Chanel with his captivating talent and modeling. You’ll be missed. So young, this is so sad.
