Mathieu Kassovitz speaks for the first time. Injured on Sunday September 3 during a motorcycle accident on a circuit in Essonne, the French actor gives reassuring news this Wednesday in a video posted on Instagram. The director underwent surgery for serious ankle, leg and pelvic injuries. From his hospital bed, he talked about his accident. “I had a stupid motorcycle crash. I broke my femur and my ankle. I am in rehabilitation and I am coming out of the operation, “he says, after thanking all his relatives for the support they have given him. “I didn’t know I had so many friends,” he smiles.
Starring in Yann Gozlan’s new film, alongside Diane Kruger, which will be released in theaters this Wednesday, September 6, Mathieu Kassovitz regrets not being able to attend the release of the feature film. “It’s stupid, tonight there’s Visions coming out at the cinema. I won’t be able to go, I hope you will,” he laments.
According to the Evry prosecutor’s office, the day of the accident, the actor had come to take advanced motorcycle driving lessons at the Linas-Monthléry autodrome (Essonne). He did not hit any other vehicle. He was ejected from the two-wheeler he was driving alone and fell violently to the ground. The actor, who was wearing a helmet at the time, has no head trauma. An investigation into the causes of the injuries was opened by the Évry public prosecutor’s office and entrusted to the urban security brigade of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois (Essonne).
