Overview

• Gerard Depardieu's wax figure has been removed from the Grevin Museum in Paris due to negative reactions from visitors over allegations about his conduct with women.
• The removal follows a French television report that showed Depardieu making obscene remarks and gestures during a 2018 trip to North Korea.
• Depardieu has been under investigation for rape since 2020, but denies all charges.
• Depardieu's prestigious Order of the Legion of Honor is under review, and could be withdrawn; the actor has already been stripped of honors in Canada and Belgium.
