Vincent Lindon has proven more than ever that he has his place in the world of French cinema. Committed and activist, he expressed his opinions through the films in which he was able to appear. Whether it is The law of the marketof Welcome or even Titanium by Julia Ducourneau, who won the Palme d'Or in 2021 at the Cannes festival, Vincent Lindon's choices are never left to chance. And his career is far from over at 65 years old.
This Wednesday, January 22, the film is released in theaters Play with fire by Muriel and Delphine Coulin. In this feature film, Vincent Lindon plays a father, Pierre, raising his sons Louis and Fus alone. If the first is doing well in life, this is not the case for the second, who is having a hard time dating. The film is already a success for Vincent Lindon since the latter has already won the Volpi Cup for best male performance at the Venice Film Festival for this role.
But like all actors, not everything was always good for Vincent Lindon, particularly at the start of his career. And at the time, the latter had his work cut out for him to be accepted, particularly with a former head of state whose daughter he fell for.
Before dating Sandrine Kiberlain, Caroline of Monaco and more recently Cécile Duffau, her partner, Vincent Lindon was in a relationship with Claude Chiracwho is none other than the daughter of the former president of the republic Jacques Chirac. Although they did not stay together, the two exes kept very strong ties and the Chirac couple never closed the door to Vincent Lindon, whom he considered a bit like the son he never had. .
By hanging out with each other, Claude Chirac and Vincent Lindon found aspects of life in each other that they never thought they would one day be able to approach. Feeling bored in his life, Claude Chirac discovered the world of partying and glitter when Vincent Lindon, fascinated by politics, came into close contact with Jacques Chirac. Although the latter and his wife greatly appreciated the actor, things had started very badly.

In a number ofOne day, one destinythe brother of Vincent Lindon revealed about Claude Chirac: “Her parents take a dim view of her dating an acrobat. They are afraid of this young man, a little crazy, so the couple could not hang out as much as they wanted.” It is therefore in secret that Claude Chirac and Vincent Lindon organize their interviews with more or less discretion. This is how during an evening, when Vincent Lindon is the victim of a clothing problem, the two end up in the closet so that Claude Chirac can borrow a belt from his father: “He found Vincent in his closet with me, his pants more or less on. He had never seen it before in his life.” But that's not the most annoying thing.
Still in the same program, Claude Chirac indicates that her own father had caught her in bed with Vincent Lindon, a discovery which went a little less well than that of the cupboard: “This is probably the only slap I've ever received in my life.” admitted Claude Chirac. It is now in the arms of her husband Frédéric Salat-Baroux that Claude Chirac spends happy days after having played with fire… and the nerves of his famous father!
