Last November, Arthur raised a serious subject during his appearance on France Inter. Facing Léa Salamé, the star TF1 presenter revealed that he had been the target of death threats since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.I have been living under protection since October 8. Let’s say that I was already protected until now, but it has been reinforced. We are in France, in 2023, I live in Paris and I have agents who protect me and my family because I am Jewish. It’s lunar, isn’t it? We walk on the head. How do I explain this to my children? In fact, I think there are many forms of racism, including anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism was latent, it was there. This is not a new anti-Semitism. Since October 7, he has been speaking freely, in broad daylight. It’s completely crazy. With political movements that encourage it“, he explained.
Arthur reveals he has had a disability since birth
On June 19, the host visited the podcast Génération Do It Yourself. During this interview of almost 2 hours, Arthur confided in his career and returned to a very personal subject. Mareva Galanter’s husband revealed that he has a disability: “I have had a problem since birth, which is that I am deaf in my right ear. I have blocked ducts. Which means I can’t take cocaine to my great despair“, he began with humor. This health concern, however, had an impact on his career and especially on his way of working on air, both on radio and on television.”When I was a kid, I had a lot of ear infections. I had a parasynthesis and I am deaf in my right ear. Which was very complicated for a personality who does TV or radio. I wear an earpiece during my TV shows, not so that people can talk in my ear but so that I can hear my guests.” he explained.
Mareva Galanter opens up about her relationship with Arthur
In July 2023, Mareva Galanter gave an interview to ELLE magazine. The former Miss France then took the opportunity to evoke the personality of her companion, very different from her own. “He is a hyperactive person, who constantly needs to be stimulated, motivated, engaged in new challenges. Last week I got into his car. He was sitting in the back. There were two TVs. On the right, one broadcast BFM, on the left, the other broadcast LCI. And on his cell phone, he was watching the news… I told him: ‘But it’s not going well at all…’ Instinctively, I turned off the TVs. He didn’t understand. This is to tell you how over-connected he is and how over-disconnected I am. Our relationship is a perpetual paradox. One more in my life ” she said.
