After an extremely busy year professionally and a little more complicated personally, Dimitri Rassam is taking a break for the end of year holidays. The successful producer and son of Carole Bouquet recently shared a photo of his two children, his eldest Darya and his son Balthazar who he had with Charlotte Casiraghi, from whom he has been separated for several months…
2024, an undoubtedly unforgettable year for Dimitri Rassam!
With its more than 9 million entries (9.3 million to be exact), Le Comte de Monte Cristo is the second biggest French success of the year behind A little something extra d’frame which recorded 10.8 million entries. A great adventure fresco for all types of audiences written by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo was the biggest French production of the year with a budget of around forty million euros. In this majestic work, Edmond Dantès (played by Pierre Niney) is unjustly locked up in the Château d'If from which he manages to escape. His revenge, mulled over for decades during which he would become the Count of Monte Cristo, keeps the viewer in suspense for more than two hours… Producer of Comte de Monte CristoDimitri Rassam adds a new success to his already very well-stocked CV. The son of actress Carole Bouquet and the late producer Jean-Pierre Rassam is delighted that French cinema is regaining a leading position at the box office.
“We can say that French cinema is back, and at the same time, the Covid years have transformed the market, accelerated the change in an irresistible way. We see that the successes are again great successes, but the failures are a little more brutal“, he confided on Sunday December 22, 2024 in the morning show of France Inter. But Dimitri Rassam refuses to believe that there is a mechanism for success. “We see the public's desire to have proposals that have depth, that have a vision. And all the films that marked the year are films where we feel the sincerity of the directors“, he explained.
Dimitri Rassam separated from Charlotte Casiarghi, he never spoke about it
If 2024 was a good year professionally for Dimitri Rassam, it was more mixed personally. After marrying Charlotte Casiraghi in June 2019, a few months after the birth of their son Balthazar in October 2018, the great French producer unfortunately went through the breakup stage. Dimitri Rassam never spoke about it and Charlotte Casiraghi has only spoken once on the subject. It was last September with the Telegraph who gave a long portrait to the daughter of Caroline of Monaco. Charlotte Casiraghi then explained what helped her overcome her breakup with Dimitri Rassam. “Reading works by women writers helped me, not living according to expectations and judgments, for me, it is important to free myself from certain conventions“, she declared.
Dimitri Rassam had a daughter with a model
After a very busy year and new projects launched (he has just launched a European film production financing fund called Yapluka), Dimitri Rassam is taking a well-deserved break. The producer seems to have gone with his family and under the sun for the end of year celebrations. This is what the photo that he published on Sunday December 22, 2024 in his Instagram story suggests. In the image, we see a little boy and a girl taller than him from behind, in shorts and walking barefoot. “Sayonara“, is written in the caption, which means “farewell” in Japanese.
It is more than likely that this photo (to be found in our slideshow) shows Dimitri Rassam's two children. His 6-year-old son Balthazar, whom he had with Charlotte Casiraghi, but also his 13-year-old elder Darya he had with Russian model Masha Novoselova. Both were married in Saint Petersburg in July 2010 and separated in 2018…
