The son of French actor Gerard Depardieu has died aged 37, hospital officials have confirmed.
Guillaume Depardieu, who was also an actor, died at Raymond-Poincare hospital near Paris from complications related to pneumonia.
He flew to France on Sunday from Romania, where he contracted a pulmonary illness while filming.
Speaking to French radio station RTL, director Alan Corneau called him a "wonderful guy".
Corneau directed both actors in the 1991 movie Tous les Matins du Monde (All the Mornings of the World).
The film marked the start of the younger Depardieu's professional acting career.
Very sad.
A few years back, he had a motorcycle accident and contracted a staph infection that simply would not go away. He chose to have his leg amputated.
37 is far, far too young to die.
Ooops. Dupe. Sorry.
His father rehabilitated himself from a rapist and gang banger to an eminent artist respected the world over.
It's a pity Guillaume's career and life were so briefl. Condolences to the family.
