New details have emerged about “Dallas Buyers Club” filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée’s unexpected passing.
The 58-year-old director is believed to have died from a heart attack at his cabin outside Quebec City over Christmas, sources told Deadline.
The “Big Little Lies” filmmaker was prepping to host guests over the weekend, sources said, adding that it is likely he died Dec. 25 and was found the following morning.
Vallée was a health enthusiast, who abstained from drinking, worked out constantly and practiced Wim Hof’s extreme breathing methods, which involve holding one’s breath for long periods of time, often in frigid environments.
Tributes poured in for the director Monday and many celebrities shared heartbroken condolences for their fallen friend.
“Spy” director Paul Feig tweeted, “My god, this is so unbelievably sad. What a huge loss. He was an incredibly talented filmmaker. Sending much love and condolences to his family. #RIPJeanMarc.”
“Big Little Lies” stars Shailene Woodley and Reese Witherspoon also paid tribute.
“I am in shock. Complete and utter shock,” began Woodley, 30, via her Instagram Stories. “My f–king god death is the worst. But I guess somehow I know you will turn it into a grand adventure … one for the books. One I can’t wait to read & to watch when my time comes.”
The actress added, “It doesn’t make sense though dude. It doesn’t make sense. Maybe when we wake up tomorrow you’ll be there laughing saying it was just a satirical short film you made. That it’s not real.”

Mention of vaccination status conspicuously absent.
1 + 1 = ?
I’m going with the vaxx until proven otherwise.
Don’t hold your breath for an answer.... /s
This gentleman “…worked out constantly and practiced Wim Hof’s extreme breathing methods, which involve holding one’s breath for long periods of time, often in frigid environments.”
That part there makes me think he simply overstressed himself. He may have crossed that fine line between hard and stupid.
Yup
I lost a pet group friend from the vaxx. Sudden and unexpected bs.
Or you may just be a Karen making shit up that you want to be true.
I’ll take “vaxx coronary for $500 Alex”
Vaxxed and bolstered?
First, wash Shailene’s mouth out, with strong soap.
Second, tell her to hold her breath for a long time, a very long time!
Third, tell the stupid, potty mouth to get a life that doesn’t swear!
DISGUSTING woman. Such a tribute?
Check again, guys. He may not actually be dead
The Wim Hof cold showers are an interesting concept.
Like, totally, hey.
He likely received the Jim Jones Jab:

“Or you may just be a Karen making shit up that you want to be true.”
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. 😉
If he’s in Canada, he’s fully vaxxed. Pressure there to get vaxxed is 10X the US. If he was expecting guest, getting a booster would not seem unexpected.
We will never know if was the vax, so it was most likely totally natural.
Same way a friends dad died after 2nd jab
Healthy, worked out/ate clean & avid skier
Saddest part is he had COVID & recovered quickly from it but being a big traveler, got the jab because of vaccine passports.
Covid didn’t kill him, the jab did..
I can see how that could cause him to pass out. I can’t see how that would cause his heart to stop completely. But then, I’m no doctor. It is just when people die suddenly of a heart attack with “no obvious reason”, it really does seem to be a phenomenon new to the Covid vaccine era.
An independent autopsy will help uncover the truth
After she washes her mouth out, she can pass the soap to her boyfriend Aaron Rogers so he can wash his hair.
Not gonna happen.
We can’t handle the truth.
