Daniel Auteuil is starring in the film Who loves me follows me!which France 3 broadcasts this Friday, November 15, 2024, between 9:05 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. The synopsis: Gilbert and Simone live a troubled retirement in a village in the South of France. The departure of Étienne, her neighbor and lover, the lack of money, but above all the permanent bitterness of her husband, push Simone to flee home. Gilbert then realizes that he is ready to do anything to find his wife, his love. This comedy is thus an opportunity to take an interest in the father of Nelly and Aurore, in particular in a confidence he made to Antoine de Caunes, for the launch of his magazine Vieux last May.
When the former host of Canal+ asked Daniel Auteuil what he would like to say to his 15-year-old self, the actor replied: “I would say to him for example: 'in June 1968, a guy is going to offer to take you back by car…Don't go! (Laughs) This will save you three months in hospital…I had a very serious accident when I was 18, I almost died.“
Daniel Auteuil, his secrets about his son Zachary
“This is where my sense of urgency comes from“, added Daniel Auteuil, who is particularly worried about his son Zachary, whom he had with his wife Aude in 2009 and whom he wants to see grow up (they are 60 years apart): “The big ones (Aurore and Nelly, editor's note), they are already cut, they work. Zac is 14 years old, he still has a long way to go.“ So, it necessarily does “a little more attention“. For example, he “stopped smoking” at his birth. And today, he wishes to pass on some keys to him, like “the desire to forge oneself, the way to be happy, to welcome love when he sees it.”
“The downside of old age is that there's a reservoir that's opened up, and you lose health. But otherwise, again, I don't care that I'm not young anymore. What I want is to be very, very old. And see my children, my grandchildren, and my trees grow. You're old when you give up“, added Daniel Auteuil, to conclude this interview.
