French actor Gérard Depardieu testified in a court case involving accusations of sexual assault. The hearing took place in Paris and marked the actor’s first public statement on the matter.

Depardieu denied the allegations, stating that he did not commit any acts of violence or pursue anyone with such intentions. However, he acknowledged that his behavior may have seemed rude or inappropriate, attributing it to what he called his “Russian nature.”

The actor, who obtained Russian citizenship in 2013, has repeatedly expressed admiration for Russian culture and mentality.

The case has drawn significant public attention and sparked debate in France. The judicial process is still in its early stages, and no final conclusions have been reached by the court.
