RIP Mick Gondouin (Gaspar Noé's Irréversible)

17 avril 2012

Mick Gondouin (Tenia's friend in Gaspar Noé's Irréversible, universally known for his famous murder by extinguisher) is dead 3 days ago. Rest in peace.

Mick was a friend ; in 2006 we shot a short film called Oeil pour Oeil. A great experience. Philippe interviewed him for the website. We knew he was seriously ill few times after the shooting.

Time has passed, contacts are lengthened for several reasons and Mick left us. More than an actor, Mick, whose life had been strong, hard, was a great character, with a big heart, full of love and passion. He could be "unmanageable" but he was true.

Mick was not afraid of nothing or anyone. Life is unfair.

So long, ya bastard...
