Ulliel, who won a French Cesar award in 2017
for best actor for his role in "It's Only the End of the World,"
a film by director Xavier Dolan, was the face of the Bleu de
Chanel men's fragrance.
"French cinema is losing a huge talent, full of charm and
energy," French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire posted on
Twitter.
On Tuesday afternoon, Ulliel had collided with another skier on
a blue ski trail, an intermediate slope, in the town of
Montvalezan in eastern France, the prosecutor of nearby
Albertville said in a statement.
She said Ulliel was unconscious after the collision and was
taken by helicopter to a Grenoble hospital, where he died on
Wednesday. The other skier was unharmed.
