François Cluzet: “I have provoked a lot”

On this point, Christophe Dechavanne did not hesitate to intervene to recall that a few years ago, François Cluzet was the fighting type. According to the host, the actor could sometimes have fits of anger. “You changed then, because you were already an artist, you were already an excellent actor, but you were extremely quarrelsome all the same“, L&eacutea Salamé's sidekick first said.

“I received you with a lip split in two at the radio, the all-white and all-red T-shirt“, he added before the actor of Tell No One qualified this revelation. According to him, he was not “a brawler“, but rather “provocative“. “So, when you talk about çthat, it's after some thought that I take a blow in the face, it's normal, I provoked a lot a lot“, he then specified.

The very difficult childhood of François Cluzet

“That's why I'm careful tonight”, slipped the father of Ninon Dechavanne in a humorous tone before being reassured by his guest who assured him that he had nothing to fear. His fighting side dates back to his particularly difficult childhood. He was abandoned by his mother when he was eight years old and lived with his father who suffered from depression.

With his brother, they had to fight to survive while their daily lives were not easy. Today, the actor is proud of the man he has managed to become.
