It is not really usual for Léa Salamé to talk about her private life. However, on the airwaves of France Inter this Wednesday, November 20, the journalist made a small departure from her discretion. Faced with the members of Splendid, Raphaël Gluksmann's companion could not help but mention the cinematographic tastes of
their child. “My 7 year old son Les Bronzés sont du ski is his favorite film”, she said.
“That is to say, it's the one he's seen the most. At 7 years old! And he always laughs about Jean-Claude Dusse, about 'on a misunderstanding'. How do you explain that?”asked Léa Salamé to her guests. Obviously a little touched by such a revelation, the members of Splendid confided that they could not explain this crazy success. “Nothing is fashionable. So we haven’t gone out of fashion. We were never in fashion ! Never”replied Thierry Lhermitte.
Léa Salamé, a “mom like any other”
“We weren’t considered people who were important in comedy”remembered Marie-Anne Chazel. For his part, Gérard Jugnot added: “We were less considered”. But let the members of Splendid rest assured: they still have thousands of fans. And of all generations. Because if Léa Salamé obviously grew up watching their cult films, this is also the case for her son Gabriel.
Mother of a little 7-year-old boy, Léa Salamé is also the mother-in-law of Alexandre, her partner's eldest. To Gala, she explained that she was a
“mom like the others”. On all fronts, she said she sometimes felt guilty about not spending as much time with family as she would like. “Yes, like all women who feel guilty about not doing well enough,
she said. And no, because I really force myself to devote two or three hours a day, and every weekend, to my son and my son-in-law.”
She spends as much time as possible with her son
“Since my son was born, I never have breakfast with him and I never take him to school. I make up for it in the evening,” already revealed the host of Quelle époque! To take full advantage of your little Gabriel, Léa Salamé put several things in place. “Two to three times a week, I’m the one who picks him up from school. And I take care of dinner, I do the showers, I read the bedtime stories”she listed to Gala.
But Léa Salamé knows it, when it comes to education, quality often takes precedence over quantity.. “As Gabriel's pediatrician told me, the important thing is not the time we spend with our children, but the quality of the moment spent, confided the journalist again. An hour where we put down the cell phone, where we really share their activities, it's precious.”
Mother hen, she also shares movie evenings with Gabriel. And with the Splendid troupe!
