Brigitte Bardot recently agreed to talk about her great-grandchildren in an interview with the magazine Paris Match this Friday, June 28.
As the most famous actress in French cinema prepares to celebrate her 90th birthday in September, she has made rare confidences about her family. In an interview with the magazine Paris Match this Friday, June 28, Brigitte Bardot has indeed agreed to confide in her family relationships, and in particular on her great-granddaughters. The latter are the granddaughters of Nicolas Charrier, his only son, born from his marriage to the actor Jacques Charrier, from 1959 to 1952. Aged 64, he now lives in Norway with his wife Anne-Line Bjerkan, a Norwegian model of 61 years old. The latter are parents of two daughters, Théa (33 years old) and Anna (38 years old), who in turn had children.
But when the journalist from Paris-Match points out to the actress that one of her granddaughters looks like her at the same age, and asks her if she understands that she is a great-grandmother, Brigitte Bardot replies: “Yes, I am a great-grandmother. mother of three little Norwegians who don’t speak French and whom I rarely see.”

A complex mother-son relationship
Also questioned about her relationship with her son, the former actress clearly answers: “I promised Nicolas that I would never talk about him in my interviews.” Brigitte Bardot has always had a complicated relationship with her son. Pregnant, she had to hide in her Parisian apartment so that the paparazzi, who were camped outside her home, would not take pictures of her belly. Throughout this unwanted pregnancy, BB compared her baby to a “tumor” growing in her belly: a term she had used in her autobiography, BB initialspublished in 1966. Injured, Nicolas Charrier had brought, and won, a lawsuit against his mother for “invasion of intrauterine privacy”.
In September 2021, during an interview for The Parisian , Brigitte Bardot had confided about her son: “I had a child, but we can’t say that this child, poor thing, came at the right time and brought me what I was missing.” Since then, their relationship has calmed down; in 2018, Brigitte Bardot declared in an interview with Was-Matin : “We call each other regularly. Living in Norway, he visits me once a year at Madrague, alone or accompanied by his family, his wife, my granddaughters (…) I love him in a special way. And him too. He looks a bit like me.”
