However, after being taken into prestigious acting coach Jean-Laurent Cochet's class, Depardieu quickly honed his acting techniques. Depardieu had difficulties speaking fluently, and began working with speech therapist Alfred Tomatis. With Tomatis's help, Depardieu overcame his difficulties not only with language, but with reading comprehension and recall.
During his training with Cochet, Depardieu met Elisabeth Guignot, whom he would marry in The two had their first child, Guillaume, in April of the following year.
In the pair had a daughter, Julie. By the late s, Depardieu had begun landing roles in theater and television productions around Paris, often playing hulking thugs in keeping with his rough-hewn appearance. Depardieu's reputation grew with his strong performance in the theatrical play Galapagos ; although the production itself was a flop, Depardieu received good reviews.
In his biography Depardieu , Paul Chutkow noted that "the French critics agreed that the film's three young actors were fresh, unconventional, and outright brilliant. The controversial film achieved critical and popular acclaim, shepherding in a new era of French filmmaking. In one of the lead roles, Depardieu was transformed from an actor to a star. After Les Valseuses , Depardieu became a film actor in earnest. Throughout the s he appeared in many films, typically playing thugs or deviants.
Even when the films were not critically successful, Depardieu benefited in some way. Bertolucci's was considered a cinematic flop, but offered Depardieu the opportunity to meet and work with American actor Robert DeNiro, who served as an inspiration to Depardieu throughout his career.
Chutkow commented that both men "were heavyweights, prolific actors who could play anything from light comedy to epic drama, and both had a flair for taking quirky characters and making them poignant and universal. Depardieu has consistently worked with France's leading film directors—such as Blier—to great success. Four children orphaned as their parents were killed in a pile of six Worcester horror cars.

They couldn't afford another baby. By his own account, he mixed with bad company, hanging out with prostitutes before working as a rent boy and committing various crimes including grave robbing.
At 16 he landed in jail for stealing a car and at 20 "the thug in me was alive and well," he wrote in his autobiography. Acting proved a salvation. He started on stage in Paris in and his breakout film came nearly a decade later playing a ruffian in the erotic comedy "Going Places". Money, he has never been embarrassed to admit, was the motivating factor in him first becoming an actor.
