Left winner of the last Cesar ceremony, where he was rewarded as best actor for his role in the film In his lifetime, by Emmanuelle Bercot, he is about to star in a dozen new films, just that!

But as you probably know, before the calm came the storm.
In 1999, Benoît Magimel crossed paths with Juliette Binoche on the set of the film The Children of the Century, by Diane Kurys. Between the two actors, things were obvious. Parents of a daughter, Hannah, born that same year, they remained as a couple until 2003. Unfortunately, the separation was tough for both of them. Following this breakup, Benoît Magimel fell into the throes of drugs and was involved in several dark cases, in 2016 and 2017, including a car accident and a hit and run. His new companion at the time, Nikita Lespinasse, had tried to get his head out of the water … but had ended up giving up.
