Leïla Bekhti and Tahar Rahim form one of the most glamorous couples in France. However, they decided to maintain extreme discretion over their private lives. Unlike certain stars for whom exposing their privacy is a way of remaining influential, they wanted to lock everything down in order to preserve their family cocoon as much as possible. A choice particularly aimed at protecting their children.
The road has been long for the native of Belfort. Discovered in A prophet by Jacques Audiard, he is today one of the most sought-after French actors. Constantly looking for new roles, he will be starring in the next biopic on Charles Aznavour. He also revealed that it was he who sang in the film.
Tahar Rahim and Leila Bekhti parents of four children
A prophet is a film that will have forever marked the life of Tahar Rahim. In addition to the two Césars won as best actor and best hopeful, it was on this shoot that he will have met the one who will become his wife. A relationship that still lasts and which has seen the birth of four children. Leila Bekhti recently spoke about this busy family life during an interview given to La Tribune Sunday.
“I always wanted to be a mother. I didn’t imagine that I would have four children in five minutes, but it gives me very strong energyit’s their smile that makes me get up every morning. Strangely, I don’t think that motherhood has changed me, it has mainly strengthened me and it has displaced my fears.
Lying to their children
Very discreet about their family life, the two actors wish above all to protect their flock. The media hype surrounding their lives is therefore not welcome inside their home. They therefore decided to keep their children as far away as possible from this artistic life. It is in this sense that Tahar Rahim confided at Vanity Fair. “We don’t talk about it, we don’t tell them what we’re doing”
He also told an anecdote with his son who recognized his mother on a poster. “He didn’t understand why there was mom everywhere in the street. I told her, ‘See, since she couldn’t come with you this morning, she made sure to walk you to school like that.’ He was so happy.” Not sure, however, that this deception will last much longer.
