Sylvie Vartan shares rare photos of her grandson, Cameron Smet, for his 20th birthday

In the Smet family, I ask for the grandson. Cameron Smet, David Hallyday’s son, celebrated his 20th birthday on Monday October 7. On this occasion, his grandmother, Sylvie Vartan, paid him a moving tribute by revealing vintage photos on social networks. «We share a passion for posing for photos.», she wrote in the caption of a montage revealing the disturbing resemblance between the young man and his grandmother, when they were children.

Precious memory

In other more recent photos, we see Cameron Smet cuddling a dog, or even striking a pose, a little smile. «Happy birthday my Cameron, already 20 years old, what a beautiful age»added the singer.

A strong bond unites the grandson and the artist. Sylvie Vartan, who cherishes their memories together, notably recalled, in an interview given in 2021 to SSophie Davant’s magazine, a moment that particularly marked her. “When he was little, in a completely ingenuous and completely simple way, when he saw me getting ready, he said to me: “In fact, Mimi, you have to go and do Sylvie Vartan, there !” I told him: “Exactly”,” she confided.

Like a family resemblance

Internet users did not fail to notice the striking resemblance between Cameron and his grandfather Johnny Hallyday. He also inherits traits from his father, David Hallyday, and his mother Alexandra Pastor. But now, it is with her grandmother that comparisons are made. Sylvie Vartan’s approximately 77,200 subscribers did not hesitate to emphasize their family resemblance. “What a resemblance to his grandmother,” said one of them, or even: “How handsome he is, it’s genetic.”

Youngest of David Hallyday’s three children, Cameron is more discreet than his half-sisters Emma and Ilona Smet, to whom he is very close. The young man can indeed count on the support of his family, including that of Sylvie Vartan, who has just retired. For the latter, who recently became a great-grandmother, nothing is more important than her clan. A clan to which she now intends to devote herself, as she confided to Michel Drucker in February 2024 on the red sofa of «Roll on Sunday».
