Grand Perez

French movie star Vincent Perez lived with Italian model Carla Bruni, who faxed Mick Jagger, who is married to Jerry Hall, who Faxed the fax to Vincent Perez, who no long er lives with Carla Bruni, who told us about her former flatmate's new film, Queen Margot, as she packed her bags. "Vincent is fantastic in it. And he's the good guy; he plays a Protestant nobleman who sacrifices himself for Isabelle Adjani. He is the beautiful, honest, pure one, and he is very close to that kind of character in life. I wouldn't say he's pure, because nowadays who is? But he's honest, he has principles." Queen Margot, directed by Patrice Chereau, is out from Miramax Films this month. Perez, who set hearts throbbing in Indochine opposite Catherine Deneuve, has recently completed his first English-language film, Talk of Angels, also for Miramax, directed by Englishman Nick Hamm and co-starring Polly Walker and Franco Nero. No word yet on who faxed whom.
