A look-alike pretending to be French artist Gerard Depardieu walked into ‘Hotel de Russie’ in Rome and walked out with a gift basket weighed down with freebies.
Depardieu is programmed to come to the RomaCinemaFest, which got under way Thursday, to promote his film “La Abbuffata” - in which he plays himself.
Police believed Friday that the Depardieu double looked and talked enough like the real thing that employees at the Hotel de Russie allowed him into the gift suite, where he reportedly took a purse, a bikini, a pair of sunglasses, a cashmere sweater and a designer bra. The error was discovered a short time later, but by then the look-alike was long gone.
The Rome-based Carabinieri police said : “We’re on the lookout for someone who looks like Gerard Depardieu but who is not Gerard Depardieu,”
The actor has not yet arrived in Rome, and festival officials said that when he did arrive he would have his own chance to take a few gifts from the suite.

When planning about your golf vacations, make sure that you have your golf shoes packed. The golf equipment like balls and the golf carts can be borrowed on rent from the local area as well. You can also get lacrosse equipment from there and find time to toss baseball.
