This is one of the event films of the new school year, which will be released in theaters on October 5 : November, directed by Cédric Jimenez, tells the story of police officers who investigated after the Paris attacks in November 2015 to find the commando of terrorists responsible. A shocking film that should leave its mark on Jean Dujardin fans, who are always there whether the actor chooses a drama or a comedy.
But if the career of Jean Dujardin has been at the top for many years, he does not forget his family, capital for him. And particularly the former skater Nathalie Péchalat, with whom he lives a beautiful love story since 2014 and who gave him two daughters, Jeanne, who will be 7 years old in December, and Alice, 19 months. Two little girls whom he never exposes, but whose mother talks about from time to time.
Several months ago, she notably told the site magic mom how the couple had decided on the first name of the eldest, which is very similar to that of the actor. A choice that had been made…rather quickly! “It came quite quickly. I lived 3 years in Russia and over there, the tradition wants that one gives the first name of the dad to the first child. It is said that when the mother is very in love with her husband, she gives her first child the same first name”she said.
“That’s why there are a lot of Alexanders and Sergei in Russian and Slavic countries. There was this idea on my side, and then the first name Jeanne is present in our respective familieswith John“, she had then explained, concluding that “it was therefore the idea of filiation that took precedence. It was obvious, there was no discussion or expectation. It was decided very quickly“.
A quick choice, which probably saved them some arguments, even if the couple then had to think longer for the youngest, Alice. And of which Jean Dujardin had perhaps already thought about fifteen years before, at the birth of his sons Simon (in 2000) and Jules (in 2001)two very discreet young adults from his relationship with his ex-wife Gaëlle.
During rare confidences in ELLE magazine, Jean Dujardin had spoken of his relationship with his children, confident that his daughters had changed his life. “It makes me a man. (…) I don’t want to say big sentences like: ‘It makes me responsible’, because I have always been responsible, even with my sons. But what luck. I felt very happy and very stupid when I found out it was a girl. I had the impression that I would only do guys…“
