On January 22, the public will be able to discover Play with firea film in which Vincent Lindon plays a single father who witnesses, helplessly, the radicalization of one of his two sons. A current subject which particularly moved this father of two children, Marcel and Suzanne, who maintain a very close relationship. This Sunday, January 19, against Laurent Delahousse in 8:30 p.m. SundayVincent Lindon responded with emotion to the question: “How far would you go to defend your children?” “It’s an extremely complicated question, in fact, we don’t really know anything about it”began the actor who today assumes his biggest complex. “But I want to think that I will go to the ends of the earth, unconditionally.”

This terrible possibility, which does not actually arise for the actor whose two children lead a peaceful life, is however very present in the film Play with firewhere the character played by Vincent Lindon finds himself confronted with a terrible dilemma while his son, drawn into the excesses of the extreme right, plunges into a spiral of violence. A strong role, for which Vincent Lindon received the Volpi Cup for best male performance at the Venice Film Festival, which fueled the reflection of this very protective father. Bluntly, the actor did not hesitate to confide that, in different circumstances, he would probably be ready to do anything to “the two people[il] love the most on Earth”, “whatever the crime committed and whatever it costs me.”

Vincent Lindon: who are his children, Marcel and Suzanne?

Vincent Lindon is the happy father of two children. But who are they? Marcel Gitard, the actor's eldest son, from his relationship with a mother who prefers to remain anonymous, was born in 1996. If the young man did not wish to follow in his father's footsteps by turning to cinema, he is nevertheless very active on Instagram, where he publishes humorous videos and documentary series. Suzanne Lindon, for her part, was born from the relationship between Vincent Lindon and another actress, Sandrine Kiberlain. Unlike her half-brother, to whom she is very close, the young woman very quickly felt a real passion for the 7e art. Determined to chart her own path, she is today an accomplished actress – and firmly determined never to play with her parents!
