Celebrity Graveland

November 25, 1984 – January 19, 2022

César Award winning actor, Gaspard Ulliel, was one of the most promising French actors of the early 21st Century. By the time he was 30, Ulliel had appeared in a number of international hits including A Very Long Engagement and as the titular characters in both Hannibal Rising and Saint Laurent.  In addition to winning two César Awards (for Engagement and  Saint Laurent) he was nominated for a number of other prestigious awards during his brief career.

Ulliel also appeared in more than a dozen television shows and made-for-TV movies in France. His first English-language series, Disney and Marvel’s Moon Knight, would end up being his last performance.

On January 18, 2022, less than 3 months before his Moon Knight episode aired, Ulliel was involved in a skiing accident in the French Alps. He collided with another skier and suffered a significant head injury. Ulliel was not wearing a helmet at the time. He died from his injury 24 hours later.

At the age of just 37, a budding international star was gone. Tributes poured out around the globe from the Césars to the Screen Actors Guild awards. A book about the actor, Le Temps de te dire adieu, written by his girlfriend, was published in 2023.
