A bittersweet discovery

I’ve been playing Expedition 33, an excellent video game. (This post does not contain spoilers.)

After I discovered a certain character, and recognized his voice actor, I hollered “IS THAT JEAN DE FUCKING FLORETTE” or thereabouts.

The voice actor was, indeed, Gerard Depardieu.

But I discovered very quickly that he had allegedly Me Too’d some people.

And I am very tired of all this. Depardieu was the voice of my early adolescence. I watched SO MANY French films that he starred in. (If you don’t speak French, think Kenneth Branagh, but less conventionally attractive.)

But with all that said: I’m not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of the game. He may be a bad person, but the game is bigger than just that one fact about him. (And if you draw your line someplace other than where I did, that is your prerogative and that is okay.)

Wheeeeeeee

Edit: My friend informs me this is not true, and I cannot find the thing that confirmed he was, so I will chalk this up to either (a) having dreamed it, or (b) finding an incorrect AI summary and not realizing that’s what it was. But who knows! A

Anyway, sorry for the misinformation!
