This November 20, a film entitled “The Passion According to Béatrice” is released on screens. This documentary evokes the actress's admiration for the sulphurous artist Pier Paolo Pasolini. The opportunity to delve into the passions of the actress… and to see that her husbands or companions have life paths that are sometimes diametrically opposed…
Béatrice Dalle: Lawyer, delinquent, MMA fighter… the men in her life have nothing in common
The rest after the ad
Theater, clips, TV films, short, medium, feature films -nearly 50-: to say that Béatrice Dalle is curious, insatiable, that she likes experimentation in her professional life is an understatement. It's not surprising that an artist with such a rich and varied career hits our screens this November 20 in a documentary as curious as it is breathtakingly titled The Passion according to Béatrice which retraces a trip, the one that the actress takes to Italy to follow in the footsteps of the transalpine director Pier Paolo Pasolini. A polymorphous, committed, radical artist, whose works shook the world of the arts, until he died, tragically, assassinated in November 1975. “I am in love, incredibly, says the actress in the trailer for Pasolini's talkie, adding, I only like dead men, I must be a necrophiliac…” Words that echo those she made in 2018 in Le Figarowhen she declared her love for… Jesus and Kurt Cobain, specifying: “I like dead guys, – she also says she has already eaten the ear of a corpse – it takes you on a journey of fantasy but for the libido it’s crap!”
Words like provocations from this artist whose signature is this. But words which, as strange as they may be, speak of love. Nothing original coming from a woman who loved so much in her life. Men with such different backgrounds…
Béatrice Dalle is actually called Béatrice Cabarrou. Dalle, was the name of her first husbandthe painter Jean-François Dalle from whom she divorced after three years of union, choosing to keep his surname. An artist with an artist, nothing but very coherent in this first connection. The same cannot be said for the following…
Béatrice Dalle falls in love with JoeyStarr in front of her TV
After this story, the actress who has just been revealed by the film 37°2 in the morning directed by the late Jean-Jacques Beineix, becomes Arno Klarsfeld's lover as recalled The World in June 2006 in a long paper that they devoted to this lawyer, then close to Nicolas Sarkozy. Their story will not last. Because Béatrice Dalle is preparing to live the first known great love of his life.
“I saw him in a music video and fell madly in love with him,” she remembered last February in As an aside. He is of course JoeyStarr whom she then discovered in the NTM clip, Authentik. Love at first sight via screen. And a decision that the turbulent actress immediately takes: show up at his house unexpectedly ! A visit recounted in 2019 by the rapper in C to you : “The intercom rings. (…) Béatrice came, she was in the room. At the time I was with a woman…” A woman that Kool Shen's accomplice will push aside to experience a crazy adventure with Béatrice. A passionate relationship, made of ups, downs, forgiven infidelities, which will last 10 years! They even planned to have a child together, but their plan did not come to fruition. Despite their separation, the two artists remained on good terms, they even played in the theater together in 2019 in Elephant Man. Béatrice conceded, however, in Cliquein April 2024 that they had since then “a little lost” because they had been “very very accomplices”.
In 2006, the film was released on screens Golden head. On the film poster, alongside Béatrice Dalle, an unknown name: Guénaël Meziani. This man is not an actor like the others. He is an inmate, incarcerated for rape and kidnapping of his former partner and who is serving a 12-year prison sentence. In 2005, he participated in the filming which took place in the Brest prison and Béatrice Dalle fell under his spell, to the point that she decided to marry that same year, within the prison itself, this young man 10 years younger than her.
Béatrice Dalle victim of her husband's violence
“Marrying into the prison world was an illusion”, recounted Béatrice Dalle, in an interview given to Gala in 2014 while she was going through a divorce from him. “As everything is extremely protected, you make films, fantasies, everything becomes very important. You take a man's hand and it suddenly takes on incredible proportions!” she explained, specifying: “He had intellectual qualities that appealed to me, he wasn’t just a bad boy, but when he came out of prison, he wasn’t the same at all.”
When he left, overtaken by his demons, Guénaël Meziani was violent with the actress. He received a new prison sentence for this. Then he was again convicted and imprisoned for drunk driving. Béatrice Dalle may like bad boys and sometimes have borderline behavior herself, she who affirmed in Que Dallehis autobiography published in 2013, doing the punch and having “almost hit all (his) fiancés”nevertheless noted in the same work: “Intellectual violence, I need it, but not physical violence, that’s no, I couldn’t stand.” End of the story with Guénaël Meziani.
After her story with this prisoner, in 2014, Béatrice Dalle will cross paths with another atypical figure, that of Eddy: an MMA fighter, this sport which combines all martial arts where almost any blow is permitted. “He’s not crazy. It’s the opposite of usual, he’s dressed all in white, he’s an angel.” she explained in 2016 in The Divan by Marc-Olivier Fogielnoting that peaceful love stories were not “not really his thing,” but she had “fed up with angry cockroaches.” With this more peaceful man, the actress goes on outings in Paris, until the end of the night, but once again, their story will not hold…
Paul, her last love, gets a tattoo for her
A few years later, it is in the arms of another punching enthusiast that Béatrice appears… “Currently, I am preparing my wedding. It will be the third, but the first in church!” she proudly says every day The World on March 2020. This new lover is called Paul Bichet-Galaup. She is 55 years old, he is 23. They made their story official and the announcement of their nuptials the previous month, on Instagram. "She said yes," the young man wrote, showing a photo of his bloody hand. “Until death, my love”, she replied. A few weeks earlier, Paul Bichet had this sentence tattooed on his stomach “If one crime had been enough, I would not have committed any.” The same as the one worn by Béatrice on her upper back.
On several occasions that year, the couple appeared side by side, such as at the Saint Laurent fashion show in Paris or at the fashion dinner in favor of Sidaction in January. In November, they marched side by side in the streets of Paris against the law overall security. Paul's activity? A love for extremes practiced by one who can be compared to a French Jackass in his beginnings. And he also has an immoderate taste for fighting. He thus participates in bare-handed combat, and praises the products of the Para Bellum brand, “favorite clothing brand of neo-Nazis,” écrit Charlie Hebdo in a report produced on June 10, 2024. Our colleagues specify: “One of the muses, Paul Bichet, is particularly known for wearing even less subtle t-shirts: the Paris coat of arms decorated with swastikas.”
From Lawyer to Criminal, by JoeyStarr, author of Black Label, a show denouncing racism, to this young man close to the radical far right, Béatrice Dalle's heart beat for men with sometimes diametrically opposed backgrounds. A good summary of what passion is, according to Béatrice.
