A fatherhood that changed everything for Julien Doré
“Everything has changed since he’s been here,” confides the one who admits to having long doubted his desire for fatherhood. “I thought for a long time that I wouldn't have children. Maybe I was scared, maybe I wasn't ready“, he admits in the columns of Psychologies. A change of life that he absolutely does not regret, describing his son as “a sun” which allows him to “to relive this part of childhood that I love so much, that we all need so much.”
Touching concerns of a modern father for Julien Doré
Faced with Isabelle Ithurburu, the singer expressed his deepest fears concerning his father-son relationship. “There is no modesty with my son, I need too much…
“In fact it's because I'm also afraid that as the years go by, there will be modesty between us.”he confides. A concern that pushes him to cultivate an authentic relationship: “As long as he bursts out laughing at something I do, I tell myself it's okay. I am not yet that father observed out of the corner of his eye and judged by his son from afar.”
Between career and family life, the fragile balance
Aware of the challenges posed by his life as an artist, Julien Doré, who lost his mother, expresses his concerns about his professional absences: “I would be terribly sorry if, by my absences to come and speak to you or by a failure to look or listen, I created a rift.” A concern which illustrates his desire not to sacrifice any of this precious bond, going so far as to humorously admit having “was more afraid of going back to school than of my next Bercy – and I'm hardly exaggerating.”
