This summer, it was said that Laeticia Hallyday had not been able to marry the man she now loves, actor and director Jalil Lespert, because she has her work cut out for her. Coming straight from Los Angeles, this week, the widow of Johnny Hallyday had joined Brussels to supervise the progress of the exhibition that she has been preparing for 2 years for her late husband, and which will open from December 20.
“It’s a lot of emotion. And it’s the pride of having come to the end of the road”
The mother of Jade and Joy, who must also sell the house in Marnes-la-Coquette, to pay off the tax debt left to her by the rocker, was very moved to see the progress. With the Belgian teams of RTL info, she was interviewed on the spot. She said, standing next to Johnny’s fully reconstructed teenage room on the spot: “To be here today in the creative workshop for all the scenography, to come back to Belgium after a few years, is a lot of emotion. And it’s the pride of having reached the end of the road”.

Concerning this event which she will soon inaugurate at Palace 2 of Brussel’s Expoto then take on the roads, on tour, Laeticia Hallyday admits that she had none “never spoken” with the singer of “That I love you”. And to add: “We never imagined that one day an exhibition like this would exist. I think he would be very proud of it and that it is up to the being who was. Of the artist but also of the man. It is a journey in his artistic life but also in his more intimate life”.
Johnny’s whole life recreated
According to our colleagues, Johnny’s room will not be the only vestige of the past that will be recreated. We will also see the office of the star, where he liked to spend time at home in Savannah (Marnes-la-Coquette). For the occasion, Laeticia Hallyday lent costumes, guitars and other objects that belonged to the idol of young people.
