Jean Dujardin has gradually built an impressive career as an actor, he who started out as a troublemaker with the troupe Nous C Nous. He can now pride himself on shooting in audacious films such as November currently in the cinema, in front of Martin Scorsese’s camera in The wolf of Wall Street or in The deer by the audacious Quentin Dupieux, a film broadcast on Arte this Wednesday, October 19. His career leaves an important place to Alexandra Lamy, with whom he formed the incredible duo ofA boy a girl, a series that celebrated its 20th anniversary! Fiction has joined reality since the two actors fell in love and formed an emblematic couple until 2013. A breakup approached with modesty by the actress in 2018.
In November 2013, Jean Dujardin and Alexandra Lamy, 41 and 42 years old at the time, formalize their breakup after months of rumors. “It is neither more nor less than the story of a couple who separates like anyone else”, he said at a press conference during the award ceremony at 36 quai des orfèvres. Questioned at this time on the subject, the actress had been clear in the columns of Nice morning : “No, I won’t talk about it. To no one. It is something that concerns us and only concerns us. I know it burns everybody’s lips.“
It’s in the pages of the magazine She, five years later in 2018, that the darling star of the French had agreed to return to this painful chapter of his personal life. She had decided to move to London with her daughter Chloé, to flourish elsewhere and escape media pressure: “I won’t lie, I cried a lot ! Finding yourself alone abroad, after 40 years, it’s been a bit lose at first ! But once at the bottom, I could only go up! I learned a great lesson from it: to rely only on myself.”
Going there saved my life.
Moving to the British capital is an idea that comes to him from his child: “I will never leave this town again! And I can’t thank my daughter enough Chloe for prompting me to make this decision. I wanted her to spend a year in London after her baccalaureate. But she was only in ninth grade when she asked me, ‘Mom, why don’t we go now?’ I called his father, the actor Thomas Jouannet, who immediately said yes. Going there saved my life. This allowed me to become anonymous again, to keep my head held high… And to no longer see my private life exposed in one of the magazines.“
Now, Jean Dujardin is married to sportswoman and skating ace Nathalie Péchalat, with whom this father of three boys from a previous union had two daughters, Jeanne and Alice. For her part, Alexandra Lamy is very secretive about her private life and has not formalized any love story since her high-profile breakup.
