Gérard Darmon is the happy father of four children, Virginie, Sarah, Jules and Lena. The latter was born in 2017, from his story with his partner Christine. A child who was eagerly awaited, arrived “by a miracle” after twenty-two years of living together. She is no less than 49 years apart from the actor's eldest. “I was a very young dad and a very old dad. I had my daughter at 68 years old. I sometimes accompany him to school. I come to get her, I follow her, I am with her. When sometimes kind souls say 'your little girl is pretty', I correct it by saying that she is not my little girl but my daughter.“, he told Nathalie Lévy in As an aside this Monday, November 4.
He also revealed what type of dad he is to her: “I'm more of a sugar daddy. I am rather tolerant, attentive… I want her to trust me, and I do everything so that she can trust me. She knows I would never lie to her.”
Gérard Darmon, his fears regarding his daughter Léna
But coming back to their fairly significant age gap, isn't he afraid of not seeing her grow up enough? “I think about it a lot and we say to ourselves: 'So what?' It could end tomorrow Well, I know very well that the day it stops, it will always be too soon for her. But she has a brother, she has sisters. She has her mother, and she will have a memory and a trace of her father whom she will get to know later.“, he explained in the show Seven to eight.
At that time he also returned to the very unexpected arrival of Léna in his life: “I've been living with a woman, Christine, for almost 22 years. This child wasn't coming. Well, we said to ourselves: 'We won't have a child. And then one day, badaboum! Miracle, yes! He is a child who came from heaven.”
Finally, let us remember that, on the stages of the Théâtre des Nouveautés, Gérard Darmon has been playing Philippe for several weeks, a lover rejected by his mistress.
