Actor Pierre Deny, known for his role in Emily in Paris, has died at age 69. He had recently been diagnosed with a fast-moving and serious form of ALS.

I remember Deny from Emily in Paris! He played Louis de Léon, the CEO of that amazing fashion company, JVMA, in seasons three and four. It was cool seeing his character because his son, Nicolas, actually dated Mindy – Ashley Park’s character! It added a nice little layer to the show.

I was so incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Pierre Deny. His daughters shared that he passed away this Monday after a very sudden and serious battle with ALS. It’s just heartbreaking news.

People are sharing their appreciation online, with one fan on X (formerly Twitter) noting that while the show Emily in Paris started with a focus on romance, many viewers kept watching for the funny and often frustrating French bosses – especially Pierre Deny, who perfectly portrayed that dynamic.

One fan said his charisma brightened up the show Emily in Paris. Another person wrote a tribute, saying they were saddened by the passing of Pierre Deny at the age of 69 due to ALS, calling it a heartbreaking disease, and sending condolences to his loved ones and fans.

Luce Mouchel, a former co-star of Pierre’s from the French soap opera Tomorrow is Ours, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. She reminisced about their seven years working together, recalling shared moments like commuting, lunch breaks, and personal conversations. They celebrated each other’s successes, introduced their daughters, and playfully referred to each other as ‘doctor.’ She fondly remembered all the little things they shared over the years.
