His death is an opportunity to remember his love story with the woman whose life he shared for around fifteen years.
In the spring of 2023, Charles Dumont confessed on the set of the show At Jordan'son C8. When Jordan de Luxe asked him what was the most difficult in a relationship where the protagonists have such an age gap, he wisely replied that many things are difficult to do when you are 94 years old, but who isn't? are not yet 60 years old. He then praised the qualities of his dear and tender: “His kindness pales in the face of my harmful consequences. You have to be in front of someone who understands, who says to himself: 'It doesn't matter, I'll do it on my own anyway'. It's very generous, it It's wonderful.” “I was very lucky to find this person at the end of my journey”he concluded.
