Parisians reacted with sorrow to the announcement legendary actor Jean-Paul Belmondo died at the age of 88 on Monday. Fans of the stars, journalists and officials were seen outside a building in the French capital where Belmondo lived recently. “He had a great career because he shook up the codes, he benefited from the heyday of French cinema, the Nouvelle Vague, of this famous film “Breathless” by Jean-Luc Godard, then he had a cinematographic career that many actors or actress would dream of today,” said Jean-Pierre Lecoq, the Mayor of the 6th district of Paris. “We felt it as if it was a loved one who had died. We cried,” summed up the mood Paris resident Irina. French President Emmanuel Macron took to Twitter to say that France lost a ‘national treasure.’

TRANSLATIONS:

SOT, Gerard, Paris resident (French): “He was very close to the public. We had the opportunity in Cannes to see him, he talked a lot with us, he was always smiling, he took pictures, he kept smiling. It was a few years after his stroke and despite everything he was happy, it was communicative. In fact, Belmondo, it was the party. Cinema and partying. He liked to party. I also had the opportunity to see him on the day of the funeral of one of his great friends, Charles Gérard, at the exit of the church he was smiling. It was communicative, joyful, really. But it’s still hard to know he’s passed away.”

SOT, Irina, Paris resident (French): “We felt it as if it was a loved one who had died. We cried.”

SOT, Jean-Pierre Lecoq, Mayor of 6th district of Paris (French): “The great masters of the theater told him “with the face you have, you will never make a career.” And he had a great career because he shook up the codes, he benefited from the heyday of French cinema, the Nouvelle Vague, of this famous film “Breathless” by Jean-Luc Godard, then he had a cinematographic career that many actors or actress would dream of today.”

SOT, Vincent, Paris resident (French) : “Journalist: what did Belmondo represent to you? Vincent: My youth. A very lively actor, his stunts. I am an admirer of Louis de Funès and Belmondo and I adore Alain Delon too. All the French actors, these people, they are old now and I know that one day they will unfortunately disappear and that makes me very sad.”

SOT, Dominique, Paris resident (French): “It’s difficult. It made me feel strange. When I learned it on TV, like that, all of a sudden. On TV it should be more ... because it’s like someone in the family. So it’s still a shock. They should take it slow when they announce the death of someone who is so appreciated, because it really does something, it shakes.”
