François Cluzet: “Çit hurt a little, but it was the truth”

“We lived together and we didn't want to work anymore. We wanted to live this love story, we did it for four years, it was really great”, he said at first before adding: “We still had relatively much confidence in ourselves to think that it would start again one day and all of a sudden we said to ourselves: ‘what if we &wrote something and there it was', we started to get tangled up, çit was something”.

In all transparency, François Cluzet explained: “That is to say that between what we imagined and what we asked our friends to come and give as advice, everything was changed and suddenly we found ourselves in something impossible. &In Nice, they were subscriptions, so it was full, then we found ourselves in Gémier, in Chaillot and there, Pierre's review Marcabru, it was “three times nothing”, it hurt a little, but it was the truth. We didn't care! A friend told us: 'In any case, you'll have done it'. And I think that in any adventure you can fail, but at least we did it”.

François Cluzet: “She was still almost a child in her head”

Saturday February 10, 2024, in Les rencontres du Papotin, on France 2, the actor had mentioned his ex-partner and mother of his son, Paul, who died on August 1, 2003. “What I really liked about her was her fragility, her vulnerability, the fact that she was still almost a child in her head”, he had indicated.

Referring à Bertrand Cantat, who in 2003, had struck Marie Trintignant several times, which had caused her a cerebral edema from which she had finally succumbed, François Cluzet had added: “She dreamed of a world without conflict. And finally, fate put her in hostile arms”.
