A TOP film-maker said he was ‘pleased’ some French people still had the skills to do a ‘proper job’ after the brutal mugging of reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
Just after midnight on Monday, 'the wife of outspoken rapper Kanye West was tied up by armed robbers inside her private Paris residence', who stole some £8.5m worth of jewellery and two mobile phones.
But whilst 'the brutal assault sparked global outrage', with many concerned for the fashionista’s well-being, Mathieu Kassovitz, an award-winning French actor and film director, congratulated the masked men for their successful heist via his twitter account.

Mr Kassovitz, who played Napoléon Bonaparte in the BBC’s lavish on-screen adaptation of the Russian novel, War and Peace, released a series of offensive tweets insinuating that thanks to the robbers, Paris was now ‘Kardashian-free'.
Monday morning, his tweet ‘Proud to be a Parisian’ was accompanied by a photo of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and a link to a news article about the attack, whose headline read: ‘Kim Kardashian jetting out of France following late-night Paris assault'.
Three hours later, Mr Kassovitz was back on social media and published a second tweet praising the attack which read: ‘Some French people still know how to do their job properly,’ another barely veiled reference to the robbers’ million-euro jewellery heist.
But whereas his first tweet got 633 retweets and 607 likes, his second tweet was only shared by 205 users, and liked 326 times.
Years ago Mr Kassovitz, who is known for his brash personality, called right-wing politician Nadine Morano, a member of the Republican party, a "conne," the very vulgar and offensive French swear word for ‘idiot’.
