During an interview published in La Tribune Sunday this January 26, Jacques Weber spoke about the “serious health problems” which have recently affected him, in this case cancer.
Rare confidences from him. This January 26, our colleagues from La Tribune Sunday shared, in their pages, an exclusive interview with Jacques Weber. At 75, the French actor spoke at length about his cinema career, his love of women, his complicated childhood, but also about his recent health problems. The actor, who once suffered from alcoholism, had to deal with cancer which he was diagnosed with in 2019.
Jacques Weber speaks about his state of health: “I’ve never told it too much but…“
Questioned by our colleagues about the assessment he can make of his life, Jacques Weber quickly clarified that he had left old bad habits behind him. “Of course, I think I’m too fat, because I eat too much and I don’t smoke anymore. I drink a lot less than before but I allow myself a few glasses of red wine“, he congratulated himself at first. But now, if he follows a healthier lifestyle, it is for a serious reason. “I’ve never said much about it, but I’ve had serious health problems recently. Lymphoma, or cancer“, he continued. A cancer of which he is now “cured“(although his doctors”don’t like“which he uses”the word healing“) but which obliges him to be still “very popular“.

Still during his interview with La Tribune SundayJacques Weber also spoke about his loved ones. If he has lived, for more than forty years now, an incredible love story alongside his wife Christine, the actor also wanted to recall that he recently lost a loved one: his older brother, who died in 2021 . A person he could rely on but who he had to mourn. “It was terrible. Fortunately, Emmanuelle Bercot, who directed me, was able to listen to me, and lift me up so that I did not sink into pathos“, he said, full of gratitude.
