Gerard Depardieu
This is hilarious. Depardieu, fleeing French income taxes, takes a Russian passport and exchanges complements with Putin.

Re: Gerard Depardieu
I believe Putin unilaterally made him a resident of France. All good theater. Depardieu should appreciate that.There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....Comment

Re: Gerard Depardieu
I haven't read anything about how Depardieu feels about it, have you? I'd been impressed Putin does what benefits Putin, regardless how others feel about it.There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....Comment

Re: Gerard Depardieu
Good point, George. There are no direct quotes from Depardieu in the article I read.
If he doesn't understand what message he is sending by his actions, however, he is an even bigger fool than I thought.Comment

Re: Gerard Depardieu
I'm sure there's a lot to like about Russia, but Depardieu is a frenchman and France is a great country. It would seem natural that he would want to live there.
It almost seems like his money is telling him where to live and not the other way round.
I should hope I never have so much money that it starts giving me orders.

I wonder how many of our fellow forumites will be joining him in Russia. They sure seemed upset when our top rate went from 36 to 39%.Comment

Re: Gerard Depardieu
Depardieu,s point of view is that he already paid truckloads of income tax, and he doesn't mind paying at that same rate.
He just got galled when the socialists were going to tax not a bit but a truckload more.
In French, in one word :Assez!!Don't worry I'm happy

Re: Gerard Depardieu
He'll enjoy the caviar, no doubt. But I wonder if he'll take to swilling vodka? Or stock a cellar with fine Russian wines?Comment
