That's it, the month of December is here. The month synonymous with the end of year celebrations. A moment of joy and sharing for some, but a period that can also be difficult for others. Some are alone or fewer around the table…
This is particularly the case of actor Kad Merad, who is starring in a Christmas film, entitled Christmas balls and directed by Alexandra Leclère.
In this comedy released on November 27, Julia Vignali's companion plays Antonin, a father for whom Christmas Eve turns into a nightmare every year… Faced with this situation, Nathalie, his wife, made the decision not to celebrate it this year but that was without counting on her husband who decides to invite his sister even though they have both lost touch for years…
Kad Merad: Christmas is not always easy
On the occasion of the promotion of a feature film in which he stars opposite Valérie Bonneton, Kad Merad spoke about this time of year. HASWith our colleagues from Télé Poche, he confides that he will spend the end-of-year holidays with his family “but it could be with friends or something cool, a restaurant with my wife” he said, before mentioning that this moment inevitably reminds him of the loss of his parents and therefore is a little sad.
“Family Christmases made sense when I was younger. Now that I no longer have my parents, it no longer has the same flavor. And then, everyone's personal stories mean that it's no longer the same Christmas as before.” he explained. Faced with the melancholy of this moment, Kad Merad will nevertheless be able to count on the support of his partner, the host Julia Vignali, his son Kalil, aged 20, and the latter's son, Luigi , to whom he is very close.
A statement that will resonate with many French people.
A house and two dogs
A couple for several years, Kad Merad and Julia Vignali are happier and more in love than ever. They married discreetly in November 2022 in Saône-et-Loire where they live.
Recently, they expanded their family as they just adopted two dogs. “It changes life” had confided” the actor in the show As an aside on Canal +.
