Who is Évelyne Brochu, who plays the role of Marylin, communications director for candidate Paul Francoeur (Melvil Poupaud) in the mini-series In the shadows ? This is what we are trying to find out, as France 2 broadcasts this Wednesday, November 13 from 9:05 p.m. the last two episodes of this fiction (in which Swann Arnaud also plays) inspired by the eponymous book by former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe .
First of all, Évelyne Brochu is from Canada. As our colleagues at Parisian the one who is best known for her role in the series Orphan Black East “based in Montreal, where she grew up and where she raises her three young children (Camille, Matthias and Laurier, editor’s note)“. On the set of the show It ends the week well, the 41-year-old actress revealed the way in which she reacted with her partner Nicolas Schirmer, emergency physician by trade, upon learning that they were having twins.
“I have memories at the hospital, it was in the middle of a pandemic, there was no one, I met the boss of my job (which means “dude” in Quebec, editor’s note), I told him ‘I think I’m losing the baby’, he tells me ‘No you’re not losing him, in fact you’re not losing THEM, they’re doing just fine,'” she recalled.
Évelyne Brochu happy with her partner and her children
Once she got home, it was time to break the news to her beautiful lover: “We didn’t blink for an hour. I just have the memory of his eyes in my eyes, speaking very quickly. He told him ‘we’re going to get a new tank (car in Quebecois, editor’s note), a new house’and I said ‘It’s a miracle, it’s wonderful!'”
Two distinct reactions therefore, for this couple who ultimately seem very fulfilled and satisfied with the arrival of their twins, and more generally with the family they have founded.
“I love my life as a woman, a blonde and a mother. I consider that I have found a nice balance in my life, because I only do things that I am passionate about. My husband is very present. Even though we both have jobs that provide a lot of adrenaline, we have managed to create a haven of happiness and love at home.” declared Évelyne Brochu for the magazine Featured Echoes.
