There’s currently an investigation ongoing regarding the accident.

Aside from playing Midnight Man in Moon Knight, Gaspard Ulliel acted in a number of notable films, like Bertrand Bonello’s Saint Laurent and Xavier Dolan’s It’s Only the End of The World.

The Associated Press notes Ulliel came from a family with roots in the fashion industry, and he had a successful modeling career. In an interview with the publication, he describes acting and modeling as the “same job.”

“I do model … for me, I do it as an actor and not as a model, so I cannot really compare,” he said during the interview.
