 Good now you've locked it down 

I was going to rewrite this bit to conform to sources and avoid spurious claims like GD ""applied"" for Russian citizenship, which he never did, twas an offer from his high and mighty mateys, and also use the sources correctly to back up what is being said.

After causing a major media reaction, and being denounced as ""pathetic"" by the French Prime Minister, Depardieu announced his intention to return his French passport and renounce his French citizenshipGérard Depardieu obtient la citoyenneté russe. Le Figaro. Accessed 2013-01-03.Fears raised over health of actor Gerard Depardieu after he arrives in Rome in a wheelchair. dailymail.co.uk. Accessed 2013-01-03.

The next bit about the agent is just pure hat, several sources (even the French one) say that GD had announced ""Putin has already sent me a passport"" as a joke, so this can be unceremoniously deleted, if you don't mind, and we'll take it from there. Cheers!  Parley! "
