Michel Drucker candidly on his romances with “more mature women”

Michel Drucker is an emblematic figure of French television. During his life, he animated a multitude of varied programs and broadcasts. He began his career in the 1960s as a reporter and host, but it was in 1967 that he gained real notoriety with the show
Champs-Élysées, which highlights artists and live performances. His ability to interact with guests and create a warm atmosphere has made him a popular entertainer.

Over the years, Michel Drucker has hosted many programs, including varieties, shows and entertainment programs. One of his most famous shows is Looking forward to Sunday,
launched in 1998, which offers artist interviews and musical sequences in a friendly atmosphere. Michel Drucker is also known for his passion for theater and music and is the author of several works.

Michel Drucker rubbed shoulders with more mature women

In terms of private life, the famous host has only had one wife: the beautiful Dany Saval. He married him in Las Vegas in July 1973. But before falling in love with the artist, he met
people older than readi, including women. In his book entitled But what are we going to do with you?published in 2007 by Robert Laffont, he spoke with complete sincerity on the subject.

Even before he was an adult, Michel Drucker revealed that he had had relationships with several thirty-somethings. “At seventeen,
people more mature than me attract me. It is no coincidence that I will experience my first adventures with women over thirty years old, as in the beautiful song by Pascal and Pascal Auriat ‘He was coming to be eighteen years old’, written for Dalida”
he revealed.

Michel Drucker: “I was born when I arrived on television at the age of twenty”

These relationships brought him a lot as he revealed in his works. “I was born when I arrived on television at the age of twenty. It will have been my baccalaureate, my university, my aggregation, a school of life and finally a profession. From the age of eight to eighteen, I survived without learning anything except what you don’t find in books: I learned about people. The others. Human relationships. I always loved hear, see, understand“, he explained a few lines earlier.

Michel Drucker never really liked school. “To the abstraction of studies, I prefer field experience. To learn, I have to meet someone, I need a face, an image, a word. My taste for others came from there, right away“, he concluded.

“It reminds me of so many childhood nightmares.”

After 53 years of career, it is difficult to imagine that Michel Drucker does not have a Baccalaureate. He also does not have the BEPC (equivalent to the patent). “The baccalaureate reminds me so much
childhood nightmares“,
he confided in the columns of Le Figaro. And to continue: “I was the youngest, being in the middle already isn’t easy, but with an older brother who is doing the ENA and a little brother who is doing brilliant medical studies, it’s worse!”

The host also confided that he had never found his place other than school: “I didn’t get the BEPC but I passed the primary school certificate because I was promised a red bike”he declared. And to put things into perspective: I left home at 17 and the rest, you know it.”
