Catherine Benguigui: “I would have liked have a child”

The actress's longest love story lasted two years. Certainly not long enough to want to build a home. “I had a cat but it died.” she joked. Then, she confided: “When I see my friends now, I would have liked to but I don't know if I would have been a good mother.” Without children, Catherine Benguigui considers however Mayel Elhajaoui, interpreter of Georges Caron in “Tomorrow belongs to us”.

A little later in the show, Catherine Benguigui then explained that if she did not have children it is because she has never “found the right person”. “It seemed too complicated to me, the child really has to be wanted, I am very sensitive, I was afraid of not being a good mother, I am sensitive to abuse.” she added.
