Gerard Depardieu's Wax Figure Removed from Paris Museum Amid Scandal

The actor, under investigation for rape and facing potential withdrawal of his Order of the Legion of Honor, denies all charges.

  • 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  • Depardieu's prestigious Order of the Legion of Honor is under review, and could be withdrawn; the actor has already been stripped of honors in Canada and Belgium.
