I'm not going to touch anybody's butt.. I'm unhappy enough

- BY MARK JEFFERIES

GERARD Depardieu yesterday told a court he was too old and fat to sexually assault women.

The French film actor is on trial accused of attacking two colleagues.

He denies groping a 54-year-old set designer and a 34-year-old assistant producer on the set of The Green Shutters in 2021. Depardieu told the court: “I'm not going to have fun at 76, or at 130 kilos [20.4 stone].

“I'm unhappy enough. I'm not going to touch anyone's butt, not on a set or anywhere else.”

He added: “After what I've read about myself over the past three years, there's no need to interpret. People say I'm a real creep.”
