THE visits at night are not always synonymous with pleasant company. Gilles Lellouche knows something about this. Friday October 11, 2024, the director of phew lovein cinemas from Wednesday October 16, 2024, entered into territory in which we absolutely did not expect it.
Guest of the show Hot Oneshosted by Kyan Khojandi, the actor spoke about his connection with the paranormal. Not very practical, ghostly apparitions come to disturb him at home. One of his anecdotes on this subject is actually quite crazy. “I was sleeping alone in my room and I wake up like in a bad movie. I see a black silhouette. I’m scared. It disappears right away”he was able to confide.
The paranormal experiences of Gilles Lellouche
Before adding: “As I live in a 17th century buildingI said to myself: ‘Possibly, there are souls hanging around. I have to go talk to them. So, I found myself naked, in the hallway talking to the tenants from before finally… Telling them: ‘Listen, you’re at home here. You see, I’m nice, I have a wife, children, we can all live together, there’s no problem, feel free.'”
Moreover, it is not only in this old building which has seen many tenants that Gilles Lellouche has funny feelings. The actor also spoke of an encounter with a ghostly passer-by with whom he was able to sympathize. “I don’t think about it every day, but I think about it often”he concluded.
Gilles Lellouche’s apartment in the fifth arrondissement of Paris
The famous building potentially inhabited by Parisians from another time is located in the fifth district of the capital. Although the actor lives in one of the most chic neighborhoods of Paris, he remains a simple and authentic man. What he likes most in the world: traveling the world and eating in the company of his oldest friends.
Gilles Lellouche’s relationships with the people he meets are frank and sincere. In 2017, this good friend, to whom we would happily lend his sofa, was starring in the film Under the same roof by Dominique Farrugia, alongside Louise Bourgoin. In this feature film, the apartment of a couple going through a divorce almost plays the main role.
Gilles Lellouche: “It’s a pattern that exists because in Paris…”
At the time of the film’s release, the actor who plays a divorced father forced to move back into the family home due to lack of funds, spoke of real outlet at the microphone of Europe 1. “To find ourselves both in this jubilation of letting go of this social subject, with derision and lightness, was a pleasure without name. In real shared accommodation, this happens. You have the shelves of the fridge, in the rooms bathroom, it’s the same, in the living room, one has the right to make dinner on Monday evening, the other on Tuesday…”he declared.

On this occasion, Gilles Lellouche also denounced a completely Parisian reality. “It’s a pattern that exists because in Paris, it’s no longer possible to live decently if you’re not a multi-billionaire. We made a nice joke out of a fairly dramatic subject”he added.
