Gérard Depardieu's withering attack on 'smug' countrymen like DSK He is very French: arrogant, smug, He's playable. I will do it, because I don't like him. Questioned about Mr Strauss-Kahn's alleged "sexual urges" after his arrest on charges of trying to rape York hotel chambermaid Nafissato Diallo, Mr Depardieu said: "It's not those that disgust me, but his general attitude. It's the way he walks, with one hand in his pocket. We can all have filthy thoughts, and it's well known that these guys with huge power, money, the IMF or top judicial officials can be like that. But I will not try to inhabit the role of Strauss-Kahn too deeply, as I have never been moved very much by people who have no dignity. Cleared of rape charges in the US, Mr Strauss-Kahn returned to France to face accusations of sexually abusing a young French writer. These too were dropped but he now faces investigation regarding his connection to a prostitution ring operating out of a hotel in Lille, northern France. French actress Isabelle Adjani is due to play Mr Strauss-Kahn's wife Anne Sinclair who has stood by him and is now editor in chief of the French Huffington Post. On Sunday, Mr Depardieu came out in support of centre-Right President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is seeking a second five-year term. At a mass rally outside Paris, Mr Depardieu surprised organisers by taking to the stage to deliver an impromptu speech in which he said: "Since my friend Nicolas Sarkozy came to power, I only hear bad things about this man who does nothing but good." But his support could turn out to be an embarrassment for Mr Sarkozy, following a report in this week's satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné in which Mr Depardieu is quoted as saying the President personally intervened to help him resolve a business problem. "When I had recent problems with my business abroad, he bent over backwards and resolved the problem straight away I would have lost a lot of money if he hadn't helped me...Whatever he asks me, I will do," he is quoted as saying. Mr Depardieu was involved in a separate scandal in France last August when he urinated in the aisle of a plane in full view of appalled passengers. The 63-year-old actor is said to have called out "I need to p***" as the City Jet flight from Paris to Dublin was preparing for take-off. After a stewardess barred him from using the loo, he unzipped his flies and soaked the carpet. The plane was delayed for two hours while it was cleaned, and Mr Depardieu was forced to take a later flight. He later apologised, citing prostate problems. The prolific actor is no stranger to controversy. In 2005, he smoked on a Jonathan Ross chat show on BBC1, and branded his fellow countrymen a bunch of "cretins," then caused a furore in 2010 by branding Oscar-winning French actress Juliette Binoche a "nothing" and a "nobody." Last year, he admitted that he could "often behave like a complete a***hole" in public.
