In February 2021, the electro duo Daft Punk announced their separation on video. In Epilogue, an 8-minute video, the world’s two most famous robots blew themselves up as a farewell to their audience. A heartbreaker for the countless fans that the titles One More Time, Technologic and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, among other things, will make you dance for a long time until the end of the night. The story of this timeless tandem may no longer be relevant, but the romance of Thomas Bangalter, one of Daft Punk, and a famous French actress is not about to end. For more than twenty years, the 47-year-old producer and musician has shared the life of Elodie Bouchez. The lovers got married and became the parents of two boys, Tara-Jay born in 2022 and Roxan, born in 2008.
Elodie Bouchez began her acting career in 1989 in the film Stan the Flasher by Serge Gainsbourg. This collaboration launched his career. In the 1990s, the actress appeared in around twenty films. She was in the cast of Young Peril by Cédric Klapisch, with Romain Duris and Vincent Elbaz in 1994. The same year, she was one of the headliners of wild reeds by André Téchiné, which earned her the prize for best female hope at the César ceremony the following year. In the 2000s, she broadened her horizons by playing in comedies such as Brice of Nice by James Huth and Only Two by Eric and Ramzy.
Just like her husband Thomas Bangalter, Elodie Bouchez was chosen by Quentin Dupieux to take part in the adventure of his film Reality in 2015. She was also one of the characters in guy, by Alex Lutz, and Pupil by Jeanne Herry. If her appearances are rarer, Elodie Bouchez is still in the race. She will be in the cast of two feature films in 2022: simone, biopic on Simone Veil by Olivier Dahan and Connemara, an account of the last days of the life of an opera singer.
