Did Gerard Depardieu eat two lions?

He says so:

Gerard Depardieu has claimed he ate two lions after shooting them dead in self-defence in Africa, according to reports.

On the face of it:

Where was I? Oh yes, on the face of it there is no reason to doubt his words. Even if he said he ate two elephants I'll believe it. The man has it in him.

Since he is going to open three restaurants in Russia, I only hope for his clients he doesn't feed them the first animal he sees passing by the restaurant. Who knows...
