Pierre Deny, actor from Emily in Paris, dies at 69 after ALS diagnosis, daughters say
Pierre Deny, a French actor known for his role in “Emily in Paris,” has died at the age of 69 after a sudden diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), his daughters confirmed.
His family said in a statement that Deny died on Monday. They described the illness as sudden.
Deny appeared in three episodes between seasons three and four of the Netflix series “Emily in Paris,” where he played Louis de Leon, a fictional executive in the French luxury goods industry.
Beyond the international series, he was a familiar face in French television, with extensive work in police dramas and soap operas. He notably appeared in more than 300 episodes of the long-running soap opera “Tomorrow Is Ours,” portraying the character Renaud Dumaze.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in the United States, is a progressive neurological condition that affects nerve cells controlling muscle movement. The disease is known as Charcot’s disease in France, named after the neurologist who first described it.
