Gerard Depardieu throws water over revellers under flat "He asked me, with an angry tone, what time I'd closed the bar and to my response said I should have closed at midnight and that he'd go to the police," Mr Carrozzo said. The bar owner insisted that he was licensed to keep his pub open until 2am. "I don't play loud music, but jazz and funk from the 60s and 70s," he told Corriere della Sera newspaper. He and Mr Depardieu both filed complaints against each other. Officials in Lecce, a popular tourist attraction in the southern region of Puglia, are now trying their best to soothe their most famous resident. Andrea Guido, a council official, said he had been in touch with Clementine Igou, Mr Depardieu's partner, to try to patch things up. We're going to meet up very soon and we'll have a chat over a coffee. We're happy to have in Lecce a person like Gerard Depardieu. The actor, whose best known films include Cyrano de Bergerac and Green Card, is frequently in the headlines. He took Belgian residence and then Russian citizenship after a bitter dispute with the French government over high rates of tax. In 2011 he had to apologise for urinating into a bottle on a flight from Paris to Dublin after being told by the flight crew that he would have to wait at least 15 minutes until he could use the onboard lavatories.
