French actor Guillaume Depardieu has died at the age of 37.  Guillaume was the son of French actor Gerard Depardieu, whom you may remember as the father of that 16-year-old girl I really wanted to bone in My Father the Hero (wait, that was Katherine Heigl?! Aw, crap.)

Guillaume Depardieu died of pneumonia contracted days earlier in Paris’ Raymond Poincare hospital. He continued the family theatrical tradition with roles in numerous French films including recent Gallic releases “Versailles” and “De la Guerre,” the November release “Stella” and 1995′s “Les Apprentis,” which earned him a Cesar award for Most Promising Newcomer.

Pneumonia?  Jesus Christ, what year is it?  This just goes to show you, never take your sick relatives to a hospital where instead of antibiotics they have an old cat that scares away the bad humors.  In related news, I can’t tell if I’m getting sick or if it’s just that to pronounce “Depardieu” I have to stick my tongue out and make my mouth look like I’m puking.

Anyway… uh… our thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Boy, I suck at this.
