In an interview published this Friday, October 11, 2024 on the website of our colleagues from GalaBenjamin Biolay evokes a woman who profoundly marked his life. Tele-Leisure tells you everything.
Singer-songwriter but also actor, we no longer present Benjamin Biolay, 51 years old, a true versatile artist. Revealed to the general public in 2000 by co-signing the album with Keren Ann Winter Garden for Henri Salvador, he gradually established himself on the French musical scene, notably winning numerous Victoires de la Musique awards. Also passionate about sport – he recently spoke about his desire to pursue a career in football when he was younger – it is only natural that our colleagues at Gala were able to speak alongside him while he was present on the Paul-Ricard circuit in Castellet, in the Var, where the Jules-Bianchi karting marathon took place on September 6, 2024. An interview published on October 3, 2024 in the columns of the magazine and relayed this Friday October 11, 2024 on the website.
Benjamin Biolay talks about his grandmother
Among the singer’s many confidences during the interview, he pays tribute to a woman who deeply marked his life, his grandmother. “I come from a matriarchy. I had a grandmother, mother of fourteen children, nine of whom were girls. This woman was a pillar. A regent”. At the same time, Anna Biolay’s father makes rare confidences about his other daughter, his youngest, Louise, 5 years old, who currently lives in Argentina: “My youngest daughter, she is only 5 years old, I see her character emerging and it would surprise me if she went on a circuit”. What great pride it would be for Benjamin Biolay, a true motorsport enthusiast and in particular Formula 1!
“I learn as much as anyone wants to teach me”: Benjamin Biolay talks about his career in cinema
The interview also focuses on Benjamin Biolay’s acting career and the motivations which pushed him to embark on film sets: “The difference in dynamics. I like the movements that happen on a film set, they take me out. At home, in the office where I write, I have power. At the cinema, I am offered supporting roles, I go for them. I had sometimes modest participations but I met great directors like Olivier Assayas, Christophe Honoré or Bruno Dumont, among others. I learn as much as anyone wants to teach me. That suits me. My popularity doesn’t always have to be at the highest, it’s different from a politician campaigning. I’m less dependent on looks, I can try things“. Thus in the cinema, the singer has already demonstrated great talent, he who was nominated in 2009 for the César for best supporting role for Stella.
