A memory that particularly moved him… After 25 years of absence from the theater, François Cluzet will return to the stage on January 25, 2025 in Another Divine Day at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens. In full promotion, the actor was invited to the set of C à vous, on France 5, Friday December 13, 2024.
Patrick Cohen invited him to watch an extract from the play It's Not Only Dogs Who Love Each Other, in 1990, in which he starred opposite his partner at the time, Marie Trintignant. Moved, it was then that success had not been achieved that the actor expressed one of his regrets.
François Cluzet: “It hurt a little, but it was the truth”
“We lived together and we no longer wanted to work.
We wanted to live this love story, we did it for four yearsit was really great”he initially indicated before adding: “We still had relative confidence in ourselves to think that it would start again one day and suddenly we said to ourselves: 'what if we wrote something and there', we started to get caught up in the carpet , it was something”.
In complete transparency, François Cluzet explained: “That is to say, between what we imagined and what we asked our friends to come and give as advice, everything was changed and suddenly we found ourselves in something impossible. In Nice, they were subscriptions, so it was fullthen we found ourselves in Gémier, in Chaillot and there, Pierre Marcabru's criticism was 'three times nothing', it hurt a little, but it was the truth. We didn't care! A friend told us: 'In any case, you will have done it'. And I think that in any adventure we can go wrong, but at least we did it”.
François Cluzet: “She was still almost a child in her head”
Saturday February 10, 2024, in Lesencontres du Papotin, on France 2, the actor spoke about his ex-partner and mother of his son, Paul, who died on August 1, 2003. “What I really liked about her was its fragility, its vulnerabilitythe fact that she was still almost a child in her head”he indicated.
Referring to Bertrand Cantat, who in 2003 punched Marie Trintignant several times, which caused cerebral edema to which she eventually succumbed, François Cluzet added: “She dreamed of a world without conflict. And finally, fate put her in hostile arms”.
