Gérard Depardieu’s new nationality will surprise you!

Perhaps the geopolitical situation in Europe has made him want to change air. In any case, dear old Gérard Depardieu is no longer satisfied with his dual Franco-Russian nationality, and has just obtained his passport… from Dubai.

In addition, he does not hide his dislike for the country that saw him born, and especially for the tax constraints that fall on the citizens of France. “France, I will always be there to shoot, but less and less to live there. I’m going to sell my Parisian hotel and my vineyards”, says the interpreter of Cyrano de Bergerac. His objective, claimed: to avoid taxes: “I will play my upcoming show in April at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, but after that I will only present it abroad. In France, you sing twenty songs, and the taxman takes fourteen. You get paid on six!”

Fishing enthusiast

His frequent presence in the Gulf is not insignificant. Because it seems that Gérard Depardieu, as a fan of big game fishing, does not mind indulging his passion off the Emirati coast. “I have two boats for big game fishing, one in Dubai, the other, which was used for tuna fishing and in which I had an apartment, in Istanbul. I sail, I drift, it suits me very well … “. With this new passport, the actor should have no trouble spending more and more time in the Emirates!
