Mathieu Kassovitz, the renowned French actor and director, is currently in a concerning state after a motorbike accident in greater Paris on Sunday. Authorities have confirmed the news and expressed their worry about his condition. Kassovitz, who is famous for his notable works such as the 1995 film La Haine and his role in the 2001 film Amélie, was participating in a motorcycle training course at the time of the accident, as revealed by a police source cited by Agence France-Presse.
Reports from French media suggest that the accident has left the 56-year-old actor with severe injuries including head trauma and a fractured pelvis, and he is currently receiving treatment. Shockingly, one of his daughters was present at the scene, riding a motorcycle behind him with an instructor, and witnessed the incident unfold firsthand, as reported by Le Parisien.
The injured actor was promptly transported to the hospital in Kremlin-Bicêtre, under the guidance of the authorities in Essonne, which is located south of Paris. This unfortunate incident has garnered attention due to Kassovitz’s previous statements regarding his love for motorcycles during a television programme in 2019. Despite considering himself more of an intellectual rather than a sportsman, Kassovitz developed a passion for motorcycles later in life, obtaining his license at the age of 40 and immediately embracing big bikes.
Kassovitz gained critical acclaim for writing and directing La Haine at just 27 years old. The film delves into the lives of three men in the aftermath of a riot in Paris and earned Kassovitz the Best Director award at the Cannes film festival, along with the prestigious César for Best Film in France. He has also played notable roles such as Nino, the love interest in Amélie, a Mossad explosives expert in Steven Spielberg’s Munich, and most recently, the lead in the popular French spy thriller series, The Bureau.
In his latest film, Visions, Kassovitz portrays the husband of Diane Kruger, who plays an airline pilot engaged in an affair with her ex-girlfriend. The film recently premiered at the Angoulême Francophone film festival with positive reception.
We hope for Mathieu Kassovitz’s swift recovery and send our best wishes to him and his family during this difficult time.
