Elsa Zylberstein meets Nicolas Bedos on the set of the film The man is a woman like the others (1998). Interviewed by Galashe told how much the host of Nowhere else was shy on their first date: “During our first dinner, he was sweaty. He said to me: “I could never have dinner with you”. He had a towel and was mopping his forehead…“.
Charmed by this handsome brunette, still little known to the general public at the time, the actress very quickly fell madly in love with him. A relationship “passionate but tiring” for the beautiful brunette who had not hesitated to put her career in the background for the actor. “I turned down roles so I could be with him“, she confided.
Sincere, she had revealed to the journalists of Paris Match what had seduced her in the son of Guy Bedos, whom she revealed to have loved “like a fool“.”I believed in this man who was nothing – well, just the Bedos son. He had an overflowing inspiration, wrote everywhere, on bits of table. I was sure he would do great things. This guy is out of the ordinary !” she said.
At his side, the actress thought she had finally found her soul mate, the one who would finally be able to talk to her and give her the joy of living on a daily basis. “In his need to be always stimulated, he was stimulating. He had an ability to galvanize me in everything, in work, in love, on a daily basis. He was electric!“ she said with passion.
Unfortunately, the relationship died out in 2008.”It was no longer possibleexplained the actress to Gala. But I don’t regret anything. Today we are friends.”
Now in love with Michaël Pierrard, Claude Lelouch’s assistant director on The best years of a life, Elsa Zylberstein has no bad memories with Nicolas Bedos, whom she still esteems enormously. For his part, Nicolas Bedos lived a long romance with Doria Tillier. He confirmed their breakup in 2019. Recently, he appeared on the arm of Pauline Desmonts on June 19, 2021 during the Cineroman festival.
