As for each of the seasons, Jean-Luc Reichmann called on exceptional guests to play in his series Léo Mattei, Juvenile Brigade (TF1). In one of the episodes of this Thursday, February 24, 2022, viewers will have the pleasure of seeing Astrid Veillon, in the episode the secret poison. She plays Marine Pasquier, a mother who will discover that her husband (played by Laurent Ournac) is not the one she thought and that their two children are victims. Asked by Galathe 50-year-old actress confided in this role, but also in her son Jules (11), born of her love affair with her longtime companion Gilles.
Impossible for Astrid Veillon to refuse this role of outdated mother who refuses to face reality. She has had “A real favorite” by reading the script and immediately saw herself playing Marine Pasquier, a loving mother who does not see everything that is going on at home. This story took her all the more to the guts because she- even is the mother of an 11-year-old boy. Gala, she confided that despite her career, she was lucky to be at home a lot of the time. And when this is not the case, Gilles – with whom she does not live under the same roof – is present to take over. Jules is therefore a surrounded child.
“Several times, I was able to trust my son and I said to myself, like many parents, ‘he’s not like that’. (…) As a parent, we always want to embellish things, tell ourselves that we can trust our child, but no! And all the better somewhere. You have to give him room to make mistakes, to lie, because that’s also what he’s built on. And then, trying to understand why he needed to lie. I am that mom. I am present, but I have to be careful not to be too present, to avoid being suffocating. It’s hard to find your right place as a parent“, then clarified Astrid Veillon.
A relationship in communication
With her son, Astrid Veillon can talk about everything. So it has already happened to him ask how he felt when she had to be away for a shoot, when he was younger. “He said to me: ‘I experienced it as an abandonment.’ And it’s normal to have experienced it like that, because even if there was his dad, there was not his mom. We discuss it, it may be an injury that will have to be overcome, even if he understands better today‘,“, she clarified. He understands that his mom is an independent working woman and that each parent does what they can. “But I think it is necessary for the child to have things to reproach in order to be able to develop and detach himself from his parents. It’s part of the way“, she admitted.
Astrid Veillon confided last June to Public that her son wasoffset” and different from the others. With Galashe clarified that Jules was “a hypersensitive child who has had very strong seizures“The computer, tablet or video games are not part of his daily life. He still plays Playmobil or Lego, a way of life that earned him some teasing when he arrived in 6th grade.”At the time, it certainly disturbed him, but he has this desire, which I instilled in him, to assume who he is. It’s not the others who are going to tell us how we should be, or who we should be. He has this hypersensitivity, this dyslexia, and at the same time, he has an overall average of 18 in 6th grade. There is certainly a gap, but the more it goes, the more he accepts it“, said the beautiful brunette.
Jules also accepts that his parents no longer live under the same roof. If he hadvery scared at first“, he was quickly reassured when he saw that everything was going well. A way of life that suits everyone therefore. “We are connected with what we wanted. The relationship is different, but we are happy like that. And since I am someone who lives in the present, and who wants to continue to do so without asking me any questions, today everything is going very well!“, she concluded.
