Stunning news, he looked physically v fit I thought, not a likely candidate for cardiac arrest. Top class musician and seemed to be a good and v popular man.

Wonderful French character actor Jean Rochefort has died, aged 87.

Famous for lots of saucy farces in the 70s, he was actually a star from the late 1950s and was much loved in his homeland.

If you've never heard of him but don't mind a movie with subtitles, I would thoroughly recommend L'Homme Du Train in which he stars with one Johnny Hallyday. It would be a bit like John Hurt, maybe, starring with David Bowie .. only French ;)

Great movie about a hitman who visits a sleepy suburb and ends up lodging with a retired academic while doing one last job in the town.
Turns out they're both the same age and yet they couldn't be any more different ..
Absolutely fascinating character study movie wrapped up in a thriller with some dark humour laced throughout.

RIP M. Rochefort.
