French police have opened a probe into a complaint from actress Julie Gayet, whose affair with President Francois Hollande made global headlines, of "endangerment" by the paparazzi, a judicial source said Friday.
The source said the complaint for "endangering the lives of others" had been taken up by Paris prosecutors, but provided no other details.
It follows a previous criminal complaint by Gayet for breach of privacy against magazine Closer, which revealed her affair with Hollande last month.
Hollande split with longtime partner Valerie Trierweiler following the revelations but has refused to comment further on the scandal.
