This Wednesday, May 5, does not release a film in which Alexandre Brasseur holds one of the leading roles. No. The 51-year-old comedian publishes Added, a book co-written with Mathieu Souquières and published by Plon. In these pages, the star of tomorrow belongs to us speaks of his family obviously but also of his career as an actor, a passion inherited from his father and his grandfather. It is thanks to them that he was stung by the comedy virus and thanks to his presence on countless film and theater sets as he said himself in C to you this Tuesday, May 3.
If he named his book Addedit is in connection with one of the pieces of advice given to him by the director Georges Wilson, that “to add up the emotions, the unexpected, the others.“And among the others, there is Sophie Marceau. When he was a child, Alexandre Brasseur attended the filming of The party, a mythical comedy in which her father Claude Brasseur played the father of the actress, interpreter of the cult Vic Beretton. And as much to say that he keeps very good memories of it since he developed a little crush on her.
Alexandre Brasseur was able to observe Sophie Marceau from every angle or none on this shoot: “When I was little, I spent most of my Wednesdays and my school holidays on the sets, either cinema or theater. Inevitably, at the time, there was no exterior decor, everything was shot indoors, he explained. There were walls that made up apartments. Above these walls, there were footbridges on which I walked a lot.“Alexandre Brasseur therefore attended a spectacle that no one had ever seen, with all the innocence of his youth:”I came across scenes, including Sophie Marceau who was a young child, she was only 13 at the time, I must have been 9 or 10, so she was necessarily changing, it was part of my first emotions.“
Sophie Marceau and Alexandre Brasseur, however, have never shared their life together. Alexandre Brasseur was until recently in a relationship with Juliette, the mother of his two children, Louis, 23 years old and Jeanne, 20 years old, he now shares the life of Isabelle who is none other than the ex- wife of Stéphane Hénon, actor of More beautiful life. The actor formalized their relationship in April 2021 on his Instagram account. His life seems to be much better since he met her.
