Elie Semoun is a great French comedian and actor. He has starred in well-known and recognized series in the country such as Neuilly his mother ! or What have we done to the Good Lord? On the personal side, he met and married Annie Florence Jeannesson in the 1990s. From this union was born his only child, Antoine Semoun in 1995, who is thriving today in the field of painting.

Elie Semoun confided in a very private part of his family life
Antoine Semoun, only son of Elie Semoun and Annie Florence Jeannesson, suffers from syndrome
d’Asperger. This syndrome is
a form of autism which is characterized by difficulties in social interactions and communication. These people face many daily challenges in integrating into society, particularly due to their intelligence generally above average and their difficulties in understanding other individuals.
Antoine Semoun, aged 29, is therefore affected by this syndrome and in fact, just like his family, a force today. The comedian spoke about this situation during an interview with the media Gala. He indicated that when his son was born, he had having trouble accepting this difference : « I wanted you to be like the others and it exasperated me that you didn’t have the same desires as them. I was in denial ».

Antoine therefore lives today from his passion under the name Andy Santori. He realizes his creations
from his room at his father’s house. He had just indicated to
