His words were shocking. Director Claude Lelouch apologized for his “inappropriate and clumsy comments”which would have been “taken out of context”Friday November 15 in an Instagram post.

In the show “L’Heure des pros”, Wednesday, Claude Lelouch addressed his notion of the couple with words that were at the very least clumsy, if not downright sexist. “When I say that we are faithful until we find something better, it’s true whether it’s for a car, a woman, a fridge, anything…”. He also considered that “Married women should thank their mistresses. Very often, when we go elsewhere, we are happy to come home.” His comments caused embarrassment on the set.

“On a television set, I explained for half an hour that women had made me grow, that I owed them everything, that love came through admiration. All my life I have repeated that women women were successful men”promised the director on Friday, before apologizing. “I have always respected women.”
