This Friday, November 8, Philippe Katerine was invited to the set of the Star Academy. Happy professionally, he is also happy in love since he has shared his life with Julie Depardieu for several years now. But their beginnings were off to a bad start.
This summer, Philippe Katerine stunned the audience with his revisited version of The Last Supper during his show for the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. If this performance was divisive, he was always able to count on the support of his partner Julie Depardieu. In a relationship for more than fourteen years, the two lovebirds took a while to give each other a chance.
A complicated first meeting between Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine
After the disappearance of her brother Guillaume, Julie Depardieu's life changed forever. And if she didn't think she would get her head above water, the actress took over the projects and even ended up finding a match for her in the person of Philippe Katerine. But their first meeting is far from resembling love at first sight. “Nothing Hill” even if it looks like a good start to a romantic comedy. This is what Gérard Depardieu's daughter said during an interview with Paris Match. “We met in 2008 during a shooting for a magazine. During the interminable cross-interview, we agreed on nothing. It was impossible for Philippe Katerine to like me! A year later, I was asked to make a film with him. From the outset, I refused, convinced that Philippe Katerine would also decline. And I knew in that moment that he adored me. I was surprised”, remembered Julie Depardieu.
Why did Julie Depardieu take time to give Philippe Katerine a chance?
It was only two years later that the two personalities became a couple. It must be said that the conditions were not the most optimal at first glance. “He was in a relationship and I wasn't ready, I had just lost my brother. We had to wait until 2010 for it to come to fruition” explained the actress. Then, Philippe's companion Katerine described their bond: “Our love is mysterious. I never thought this would happen to me. Besides, I didn't want children, the idea scared me. I didn't think I was cut out for family life (…) We laugh a lot, we get along well. We are as much alike as we are opposites. He's less messy than me. (…) Philippe Katerine surprises me, upsets me. I am amazed by him. What he writes is magnificent, his poetry touches me… (…) We love each other as much in our madness as in our simplicity. On a daily basis, he is balanced. He puts his madness into his creations, drawing, singing or writing”. A duo that matches as much on screen as in everyday life!
