LYON, France (AP) — French actor Gaspard Ulliel has died after a skiing accident in the Alps, according to his agent’s office. Ulliel, who was 37, was known for appearing in Chanel perfume ads as well as film and television roles. He portrayed the young Hannibal Lecter in 2007′s “Hannibal Rising” and fashion mogul Yves Saint Laurent in the 2014 biopic “Saint Laurent.” He also is in the upcoming Marvel series “Moon Knight.” A local prosecutor says Ulliel collided with another skier on Tuesday afternoon after making a turn, presumably to join his friends on an adjoining slope. The other skier was unharmed but Ulliel was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on Wednesday.
