Gérard Depardieu may not have the bladder control he used to, but at least his sense of humor is as intact as ever. The French screen legend appears in a new parody video with his Asterix and Obelix: On Her Majesty's Secret Service co-star Edouard Baer, featuring the duo in character as the famous comic-book Gauls and Depardieu battling valiantly for lavatory privileges. It's all in French, but hey. Having to pee is a universal language all its own.
The pair shot the video for the French publication Tell Me; the bit is intended to stoke viral promotion for their Asterix and Obelix film set for release in 2012. It will never supplant the vivid mind's-eye image of Depardieu warbling "Je veux pisser, je veux pisser" up and down the aisle of his Paris-to-Dublin flight before relieving himself on the carpet in front of God and everybody, but it's something. And any conflation of Air France flight attendants and second-century Roman invaders is always hilarious.
