On November 8, 2024, Alice Attal – daughter of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal – celebrated her 22nd birthday. Unfortunately, the entire family was not reunited since his father was in the south of France alongside Noémie Lvovsky to perform on stage with the play Video Club.
But even thousands of kilometers away – Alice was in New York at the time – he wanted to mark the occasion, with the help of the public. But it was more complicated than expected, as reported by our colleagues at Nice-Morning in their November 14 edition. At the end of the performance, Yvan Attal asked “a favor“to the public.”It's rare that this happens to me but I have to ask you something this evening. It's my daughter Alice's birthday. I would like to surprise him by calling him and having you all sing 'Happy Birthday' to him.” he said.
Yvan Attal almost saw his surprise for his daughter Alice disappear
Obviously, the people present in the room at Saint-Maxime responded. Finally Alice still had to pick up her phone which was not the case on several occasions. A few minutes later, the young woman finally called her dad back and was able to see the lovely surprise. “Hello, I’ve been calling you for an hour!” the actor then said to him on stage. “I'm at the theater, there are all these people waiting !“. The icing on the cake for the spectators, they were also able to see Charlotte Gainsbourg who was with Alice for her 22nd birthday. Jane Birkin's daughter therefore crossed the Atlantic Ocean to join her. We imagine that Alice's companion River Magee was certainly also at her side.
Yvan Attal has already mentioned his paternity and did not mince his words to Gala in 2019.”I sometimes tell myself that I can't wait for them to go away [ses enfants, ndlr]let them get on with their lives, let me find mine again. Almost a new youth with Charlotte, like before they arrived“, he declared. Alice and Ben have left the nest, there remains Jo, the youngest who is 13 years old. There won't be much longer!
