PARIS (Reuters) - Actor Gerard Depardieu is ending his film career, a newspaper quoted the popular Frenchman as saying on Sunday. "I have nothing to lose. I have made 170 films. I have nothing left to prove. I am not going to hang on like an idiot," Depardieu, one of France's best known actors at home and abroad, was quoted as saying by Le Parisien Dimanche newspaper.
"I'm in the process of stopping filming," said the portly star of films such as "Cyrano de Bergerac," "Green Card" and "Jean de Florette."
Depardieu, 56, made the comments on the set of the upcoming French film "Michou d'Auber." He would also star in an Asterix film to be made next year, the paper said.

French film actor Gerard Depardieu was caught short on a Paris to Dublin flight and chose not to bother going to the toilet before relieving himself, airline CityJet told AFP.
"I will only confirm that he, in effect, urinated in the plane," a spokeswoman for the Air France-KLM subsidiary said, confirming a report on Europe 1 radio, which interviewed a passenger who witnessed the incident.
According to the passenger, who was not named, the 62-year-old was visibly inebriated and tried to stand up before take-off, when passengers are asked to wear seatbelts, declaring: "I want to piss, I want to piss."
When a stewardess asked him to sit and wait 15 minutes until the jet took off and reached cruising altitude, he said he could not wait. "And there and then he stood up and did it on the floor," she told the French broadcaster.
"We could see he had been drinking. The stewardess was dumbfounded," she added. "No-one said anything. It all happened with courtesy. Mr Depardieu sat back down and the plane returned to the parking area to be cleaned."
The spokeswoman said the incident had taken place on Tuesday evening on board flight AF5010. She did not say whether the company intended to take further action against the popular French star.
According to a Paris Airports website, the Dublin route is served by an Avro RJ-85, a regional jet that can carry up to 111 passengers and is routinely equipped with onboard toilets both fore and aft.
Depardieu is perhaps the best known face in French cinema, having appeared in almost 200 films, and is known abroad as the star of the 1990 literary epic Cyrano de Bergerac and the US romantic comedy Green Card.
He is also a winemaker and in 1990 was convicted of drunk driving.
Piss on a plane!

In Potiche Depardieu looked as if he had swallowed a refrigerator; perhaps these days he's too fat to get into an airplane toilet?

I was in the pub the other week and a man tried to tell a joke about Gerard Depardieu marrying Whoopi Goldberg making her Whoopi Depardieu - he had to mispronounce it as "Doo-pee-doo" so we would get it. Horribly formed.

Waving the new document, he was welcomed to Saransk by women wearing national costumes and served blini - traditional pancakes. He was also presented with a pair of felt boots and two kittens."I am very happy, it's very beautiful here, beautiful and soulful people live here," Interfax quoted him as saying. He then unhinged his jaw and swallowed both kittens whole.

"I killed two lions once and I understand why the lion is the king of the jungle. [It was] in legitimate self defense," he's quoted saying. "Imagine you're driving and your engine breaks down. You got out, and in your way are these animals. So you shoot, just to scare them. They don't move. I wasn't there for hunting. I was in Africa for Africa."

Ha! Your post got me thinking about that one again, which led me to remember that GD's costar Patrick Dewaere made another weird summer camp film a few years earlier called The Right Way To Walk, wherein he plays a macho camp counselor who bullies a co-worker he discovers is a transvestite. I imagine there's a whole sub-genre of this stuff.
