Gaspard Ulliel dies at 37

French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who starred in the new Marvel TV series, has died aged 37 after a fatal skiing accident, his family confirmed today.

Ulliel has been among the top French actors, and gained international attention for his portrayal of the famous cannibal in “Hannibal Rising” in 2007.

He also had a starring role as the Midnight Man in the new Marvel TV series “Knights of the Moon” starring Oscar Isaac, which premieres on Disney+ in March.

His family confirmed the death – following a skiing accident in southeastern France on Tuesday – in a statement issued by his agent to AFP.

A spokesman for the ski station said another skier crashed into Ulliel at the meeting place of the two slopes. He was then taken to hospital in Grenoble, where he sadly passed away on Wednesday, the representative said.
