They lived one of the most outrageous love affairs of the 70s: when they shared the movie poster And God created the womanJean-Louis Trintignant, then in a relationship, and Brigitte Bardot, married to the director Roger Vadim, tied a love story that will lead them to live together for a year, before separating during the actor’s military service.
If each continued his career and built up a fine filmography, it would seem, however, that they did not stay in touch. Brigitte Bardot, interviewed a few months ago by the magazine Gala had also revealed that she did not feel comfortable staying too close to her former lovers, Jean-Louis Trintignant or Sami Frey, whom she met a few years later.
“I can’t be friends with the men I loved so much. Jean Louis and Sami were, I believe, the greatest loves of my life, the most important, the deepest, the most irreplaceable.she confided. To preserve friendship after having known passion would be an alms which would not correspond to me. I am too complete. So I prefer to have nothing at all”.
The actress, however, must have been very touched to learn of the death of her former lover, the one she found “tart“meeting them, and which ended up making her crack, even if she had long thought she couldn’t”persuade [qu’elle] could fall in love with this guy“. A few years ago, she had indeed confided that their story had ended gradually: “By dint of being natural in my love scenes with Jean-Louis, I quite naturally end up loving him. I felt a devouring passion for him“.
A passion that had pushed them to settle together in Paris, breaking up their couples, but which only lasted a year. Jean-Louis Trintignant then met Nadine, with whom he was married for many years and with whom he had three children: Marie, who became an actress and died in 2003 under the blows of Bertrand Cantat, Pauline, who died while she was just a baby and Vincent, too, in the world of cinema today.
