A recognized and once greatly appreciated artist, Pierre Palmade nevertheless suffered for a long time from his personal and romantic situation. And for good reason, the 56-year-old comedian had a lot of difficulty accepting his homosexuality. So much so that to hide this part of him, the latter married Véronique Sanson in 1995. A union as misunderstood as it was mocked which ended in divorce nine years later.
Pierre Palmade did not want his homosexuality to “be known”
However, Pierre Palmade had assured during his visit to the set of On n'est pas couch in 2013 that he had indeed consummated his marriage with the famous singer: “It wasn’t platonic. There was sexual intercourse.”.
In reality, the actor and comedian discovered his homosexuality while he was a student. Questioned by Ciné Télé Revue, one of his former friends spoke about the way in which Pierre Palmade tried to camouflage his orientation. Saying
“very close” of the latter in the 90s, this person then ensured: “He didn’t talk about it (his sexual orientation, editor’s note) never other than in a joking tone. He didn't talk about it seriously, he didn't want it to get out.”.
A loving loneliness that weighs on him
During his life, and despite a failed marriage as well as an attempt to seduce Carole Bouquet, Pierre Palmade made the meeting of several men. We remember in particular Jérémy Bellet who returned to his relationship with the actor during his visit to the TPMP set just a few days after the accident caused by the latter.
One thing is certain, Pierre Palmade has never managed to find the rare pearl and settle down with just one man. “I can't stand going from one boy to another anymore.e. I have the country house, the cats… I only miss my companion”he complained during an interview with Le Parisien in 2019.
Pierre Palmade: “Coke simply allows me to be gay”
His private life, Pierre Palmade also addressed it in his book Tell my dad I'm famous. Muriel Robin's former friend has in fact openly discussed his consumption of alcohol and drugs during his romantic relationships.
“Coke simply allows me to be gay. And long hours! The act is finally satisfying. Happy, sometimes. I assume what! On cocaine, I don't ask myself the question of whether I'm gay or not.”he writes.
Consumption of illicit substances which he had spoken about to Le Parisien while he was accused of having sexually abused a young man: “We drink, we take cocaine, we sleep together in a very fun way. Then we start to get confused, to talk badly to each other. He doesn't want to leave, wants to see me again, I don't want to. He threatens to destroy me by saying I drugged and raped him. I chuckle. Who will believe that? It drives him crazy, he starts destroying everything in my house.”. A scenario that Pierre Palmade would certainly have preferred to forget.
