Dany Brillant, who you can find in “A Sunday in the Country” on France 2 this January 26, spoke about his family and his children to “Gala”. To give them their first names, the singer was inspired by great personalities.
Before being a crooner, Dany Brillant is a father proud of his children. The 59-year-old singer, who is invited in A Sunday in the countryside on France 2 with Frédéric Lopez, recently spoke in Gala on paternity.
Dany Brillant and her children: where do their first names come from?
It was in 1993, when he was 28, that the artist became a father. Her eldest daughter, Léah, was born from a former relationship, and this name was given to her in homage to a celebrity that Dany Brillant carries in her heart. “Léah, my eldest, owes her first name to one of my favorite Italian actresses, Léa Massari. I had it in my twenties, I was a young dad. She brought me luck. She's a bit like my guardian angel, very protective of me.”he explained.
Today, the singer's eldest daughter is a videographer in Canada: “She was a cinematographer and now works in marketing for the Toronto International Film Festival.” Daniel Cohen-Biran, his real name, is also the father of two boys, Lino, 14, and Dean, 12, the fruit of his love with his current partner, Nathalie Moury, whom he met at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008. To choose the first names of his sons, Dany Brillant was also inspired by notable personalities.
-“They were named in homage to two of my masters, Lino Ventura and Dean Martin. I tell myself that, in the first names, there is always a bit of the energy of these people. Lino is the reassuring, patriarchal side Even if, among my sons, Lino is more artistic than Dean, very rigorous and orderly I can see him doing business later. !”, he detailed.
Dany Brillant, separated from his wife and children: “My loneliness weighs me down“
If Dany Brillant lives in a beautiful apartment in Paris, his wife and their sons live in Brussels, Belgium. This way of life suited the performer of Suzette for a long time, but today, he would like to be closer to his family on a daily basis: “I want to have my family around me again, to be in exchange, sharing. For a long time, I cherished my solitude, but now it weighs on me. I thought that the family was a prison, a place of neurosis, whereas it is a strength“.
