I loved Isabella
On the set of C to you on France 5 on September 30, 2021, Cristiana Reali’s ex had spoken openly about his affair with Isabelle Adjani: “I loved Isabelle. She had an extraordinary quality, it was that she played with her stomach, she played from there. She understood that the important thing in Molière is the silences”, had declared the one who dreamed of forming a couple on stage with the actress. Indeed, she decided to leave the theater to embrace a career on the big screen. A decision that was not without disappointing Francis Huster: “I was struck down (…) I never forgave himhe confessed. There are sublime roles in the repertoire, where, precisely, she would have led the youth to enter Racine, Chimène, Phèdre, Bérénice. My artistic life is completely torn in two the moment she broke up this couple.”
The Comédie-Française was also the meeting place of André Dussollier who also maintained an affair with Isabelle Adjani. “It was at the very beginninghad entrusted the 76-year-old actor to VOD in 2016.
