Gerard Depardieu may look like an ogre, but we never realised he behaved like one too, until he completely dissed Juliette Binoche in an interview with Austrian mag Profil recently.
 
"I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years,” the French actor ranted. “She has nothing. Absolutely nothing! She is nothing... Binoche? What has she ever had going for her?" Um, manners maybe?
 
Juliette told BBC Radio 4's Front Row, "(I was) surprised. I don't know him and I don't know what I did to him... I understand you don't have to like everyone and you dislike someone's work. But I don't understand the violence (of his words), in a way. But I think it has to do with himself - there's something going on."
 
The two of them once had dinner together, and Juliette thinks she may have unintentionally offended him. He told her, "You always do beautiful films", which she thought was a compliment. "I didn't have any answers to that because I didn't completely understand what he meant by that. And then, after that, I thought, 'Ah so it means that - are you supposed to do not-beautiful films'. I provoked him without knowing I provoked him, I think."
 
It’s sweet, but she really shouldn’t try to take the blame for his nasty streak!
