Depardieu: I drink up to 14 bottles of wine a day

French movie star Gerard Depardieu has revealed he can drink up to 14 bottles of wine a day — and shot two lions while on holiday in Africa.

Despite a quintuple heart bypass operation 14 years ago and a motorcycle crash while over the legal limit, the actor confessed that he can drink vast quantities of alcohol — beginning from 10am.

He attributed his massive consumption of alcohol to “boredom”.
