Gaspard Ulliel, French Actor and 'Moon Knight' Star, Mourned by Fans on Social Media

Gaspard Ulliel, a beloved french actor who stars in the forthcoming Moon Knight series, is being mourned by fans on social media, following the news of his tragic death. It was reported on Wednesday that Ulleil had been in a skiing accident wherein he collided with another skier. Ulleil remained unconscious after the incident, which caused concern. He was transported to a hospital for medical attention but was eventually pronounced dead at the age of 37.

Ulleil was known for many critically acclaimed roles, including in films such as Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), A Very Long Engagement (2004) and Hannibal Rising (2007), wherein he portrayed a young Hannibal Lecter in a prequel story about the infamous fictional serial killer. The actor also received praise for his portrayal of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in a 2014 film about his career. Most recently, he was cast opposite Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke in Marvel's Moon Knight, a Disney+ comic book-based series that debuts in March. 

Sadly, this will be one of the last times Ulleil is seen on-screen, as he appears to have only had two other projects in the works at the time of his death, and it is unclear if he even began filming on one of them. Fans of Ulleil have been taking to Twitter to share their shock and sorrow over his passing, lamenting the tragedy of such an incredible artist having his life cut short.
