The years go by and Christian Clavier continues to be one of the most prolific actors in French cinema. At the end of December, he will be showing in the film Never without my therapist by Arnaud Lemort, alongside Cristiana Reali, Rayane Bensetti and Baptiste Lecaplain. After starting out with the Splendid troupe, the 72-year-old actor has managed to stay on top and enjoys working with new cinema talents. “I like to pass it on to the new generation. I myself experienced this with Jacqueline Maillan or Michel Galabru”explains the one who spoke personally a week after the void left by Michel Blanc, in an interview given to the Belgian magazine Ciné-Télé-Revue.
It's no surprise that Christian Clavier is interviewed by Belgian media since part of the film was shot in Brussels. A city that Thierry Lhermitte's great friend knows particularly well since he has lived there for some time. “Quite”he responds to our colleagues regarding his move to the Belgian capital, recently voted the most “cozy” (comfortable, warm, relaxing) city in the world in a ranking published by All Clear. And obviously, the person who had a house bought for several million euros and resold for double the price, has a lot of resentment towards the French capital. “Paris has become unlivable. At your place (in Belgium, editor’s note)the atmosphere is more friendly and international. This is what I liked in London, where I also lived, until Brexit.”he says to explain the reasons which pushed him to settle in the flat country.
Christian Clavier justifies his exile from France
This is not the first time that Christian Clavier has spoken about his exile from France. Before arriving in Brussels, the actor lived for several years in England, where he settled in 2013. In an interview for the show Seven to eight in 2014, he denied having left for a tax issue, but was already criticizing the Parisian atmosphere. “There is a form of Parisianism which has always existed and which can be very nasty, it's true (…) There was a moment, it was very unpleasant, even for your family. But all that is behind “he indicated to TF1 journalists.
Now installed with his companion Isabelle de Araujomakeup artist and ex-wife of Richard Gotainer, in Brussels, Christian Clavier seems happier than ever.
