Jean Dujardin, who is Laurent Delahousse's guest this evening in 8:30 p.m. Sundayon France 2, is the father of four children. His eldest children Jules and Simon, born respectively in 2000 and 2001, come from his first marriage to a certain Gaëlle Demars. As for his two daughters Jeanne and Alice (8 and 3 years old), they are the fruit of his love for Nathalie Péchalat, former star of figure skating who was recently chosen to replace Nelson Monfort and Philippe Candeloro as commentators for the events of this discipline For France Televisions.
Last February, in the pages of the magazine The two of uswe learned more about their daughters. Particularly on the first, and her first name which was not chosen at random. “I lived in Russia for three years and there, the tradition is to give the father's first name to the first child.“, explained Nathalie Péchalat for our colleagues. This therefore gave Jeanne, the female version of Jean. It is nothing more and nothing less than what we call a first name homage.
Jean Dujardin father at over 40, his secrets
Last year, in the columns of Paris MatchJean Dujardin spoke openly about paternity. A role that he takes very seriously, even more so with the birth of his daughters: “When people tell me that I could have had a career in the United States, we forget something: I have a family, I have my life here. I take responsibility for my sons, I take responsibility for my daughters and I am happy to experience fatherhood again and to correct it. It's like a second chance.”
If he spoke here of “second chance”, it is because he felt more ready to assume his role as a father with his daughters, whom he had at over 40, than with his boys: “I really feel it“. The star ofOSS 117 doesn't really understand the fact that having children around 25-30 years old is the norm: “We are being scammed on this age thing: we should be left thirty-five, forty years of adolescence, we have children at 50, we start to relax at 100, and we live until 120. There you go the project.”
