Juliette Binoche (Getty Images)Last week, Gerard Depardieu launched a public attack on compatriot Juliette Binoche.? The vitriol spewing from the French actor, perhaps best known in the U.S. for his role in the romantic comedy Green Card, was unnerving.

In an interview with the Austrian magazine Profi, he said: "I would really like to know why she has been so esteemed for so many years. She has nothing. Absolutely nothing!"

A week later, Binoche,? gracefully responded. "I don't know him and I don't know what I did to him," she said in a video interview on the website of British film magazine Empire.? Like Depardieu, Binoche is one of the hardest working,? best known actors from France. She won an Academy Award for her performance in the English Patient and is currently promoting the new Abbas Kiarostami film Certified Copy for which she won the Best Actress award at Cannes.

We hope that this feud has been laid to rest? -- we love them both. Depardieu is prone to bad behavior. He has also announced his retirement from acting on more than one occasion in recent years, but continues to do excellent work in such films as Andre Techine's Changing Times and Mesrine (currently in theaters).
