Clémentine Célarié is a committed actress. Since doctors diagnosed her with colon cancer, the actress wants the disease to no longer be considered a taboo subject. In 2021, the 64-year-old actress therefore confided in this terrible period of her life in her book “Les Mots Defended”. A project that had been advised against. ” Cancer is associated with death, it’s scary. Me, I take it as a joke, because I say that I am cured. You have to talk about it as lightly as possible when you get out of it. In our society, it’s something that scares […] In fact, some thought that it could make me lose roles. In fact, we must free the floor for those who have cancer. There is educational work to be done. We talk about ‘remission’, but it’s not a sin to have cancer “, explained the companion of Christophe Reichert to Télé Pro.
However, before making the decision to open her heart to the disease, the star hid her symptoms for a long time. ” I didn’t want it taken back. I wanted to do this book. I went to do an interview with Laurent Delahousse, I was losing my hair, I had a hairpiece. I couldn’t say it, because I wanted to hide it from my children, I wanted to be healed so I could say it “. Recently, she confided to our colleagues from Ouest France: “ I had no desire to say it publicly, first out of modesty, then because I had to heal. I experienced something intimate, which must be fought, and for that, you have to take up arms. When I saw what the announcement of cancer did to my loved ones, who looked sorry as if we were going to die, I certainly did not want to tell the public. “. Touching revelations.
