"I met Gaspard 10 years ago. We talked, and I always felt like he was Hollywood material. He had everything — he had the looks and talent. When I got this job and we had his character, Anton Mogart, I contacted him and at once he wanted to be in it. Although he is a legend in France, on the Moon Knight set he was so humble that it felt like he was acting for the first time. He did such a great job that I felt like he was going to get called back one day by Marvel… it's such a loss. I can't even believe that we're talking about him in past tense because he was full of life. He was beautiful as a person and the only positive thing from everything that happened is that he’s going to live through his films as a legend forever."
