For 38 years, Pierre Arditi has been living the perfect love affair with Évelyne Bouix, but nothing was won at the beginning. Guest of Jordan de Luxe this Friday, June 28, 2024 on C8, the actor returned to the chaotic beginnings of his relationship with the daughter of the one he finally married in 2010. Indeed, when he entered the life of Évelyne Bouix, the latter did not live alone… Three years earlier, Salomé Lelouch, that Évelyne Bouix was born with the filmmaker Claude Lelouch. When he arrived in this child’s life, Pierre Arditi had to endure a few blows.
“(Evelyne) is incredibly beautiful, and her daughter is incredibly beautiful, they look terribly alike.” commented the one who describes himself as “an old bear”. If the reconstituted family is today filled with love, it was not always rosy, especially when Salomé was still a child and had great difficulty assimilating the absence of her father and the arrival by Pierre Arditi: “It was complicated at first, because she thought like all children that I was going to take her father’s place. Besides, I’ve seen some green and unripe things with her“ confessed the septuagenarian.
“Today she calls me Pierrot”
Pierre Arditi remembered a sentence uttered by his daughter-in-law and which hurt him a lot at the time: “She was three years old when I came into her mother’s life. At one point she said, ‘I don’t understand people who have a house and who come to live in other people’s houses’“. A shocking sentence that the actor had to take without saying a word: “You can’t yell at a three-year-old. So it still lasted a good two years, almost three, before she finally understood that one, I would never take her father’s place, and two , I would not be a thief of his mother’s life And then, you couldn’t touch one of my hairs anymore“.
Today, Pierre Arditi and Salomé Lelouch have a peaceful and close relationship: “She’s not my daughter, she’s Claude’s daughter. But anyway, Claude has a lot of humor, when he introduces me, he says: You know Pierre, he is my daughter’s father“ revealed the actor who recently had to face some health problems which caused the cancellation of several dates of the play Laplandin which he shares the bill with Muriel Robin.
Salomé, two very rich blended families
Before experiencing happiness with Evelyne Bouix, Pierre Arditi had a first love affair with the actress Florence Giorgetti, whom he had cheated on with the singer Barbara. From their marital union which lasted twelve years, Frédéric was bornin June 1969, the only son of the actor, who works as a painter, like Pierre Arditi’s father. Claude Lelouch, for his part, had a very rich private life and was successively married to Christine Cochet, Marie-Sophie L.Alessandra Martines and Valérie Perrin, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2006. He was also the companion of Annie Girardot, and is the father of seven children in total, born from five different unions.
