If French theater has several headliners, Jacques Weber is undoubtedly one of the most important. For 55 years, the Parisian has been roaming the theaters of France to play the greatest classics of the French repertoire. In a relationship with Christine, to whom he has been married for more than 40 years, the man of the theater is a seducer at heart, as he confides this Friday in an interview with Full Life. While he is currently returning to the stage in The Unjustat the Renaissance theater in Paris, he agreed to talk about the celebrity crushes he had during his life.
It is in particular about one of the biggest French stars of the 60s and 70s. “The beauty of Sylvie Vartan fascinated me, I was crazy about itshe excited me on stage. Every time she performed in concert, I bought all the seats around me to be alone in front of her”confides the actor, today fulfilled with his wife Christine and his three children, Tommy and Stanley and Kim, before telling the end of this story: “Much later, I filmed with Sylvie Vartan (Mausoleum for a bitch in 2001, editor’s note). She is a simple and touching woman.” A few months ago, Jacques Weber had already confided in his inconsiderate love for the singer, now 80 years old. “One day I asked Robert Hossein to organize a meal with Sylvie and he attacks straight away: 'Sylvie, Jacques is crazy about you'. It started very strong, I didn’t dare say a word anymore”he said on the Télématin set.
Jacques Weber also had a crush on Liza Minnelli
In this same interview for Full LifeJacques Weber also talks about his crush on another singing icon, but American this time and things could well have come to fruition. “Liza MinnelliI discovered it in its early days in an empty Olympia, it was an atomic bombgenius in its purest form. I kept sending her flowers. I was quite a nice guy and she asked me to have dinner together one evening, after her show on December 24th. But her fiancé showed up by surprise to spend Christmas with her…”seems to regret the one whose sublime son Stanley already has a great career behind him.
Madly in love with Sylvie Vartan and Liza Minnelli in his youth, Jacques Weber did not hesitate to express his interest in them by all possible means.
