We often imagine Florence Foresti looking cool, always the first to laugh and spoof, with a life as organized as her shows are well constructed. However, it seems that the 48-year-old comedian leads a life far from what we imagine. If she is famous, Florence Foresti is not spared, like everyone else. She also found herself a single mother having to manage a separation and organize shared custody with Julien Mairesse, the father of her daughter Toni, 15, as she is about to introduce her fans to Canal + from the October 3 in Ordershis first series.
Florence Foresti hides her game well behind her smile and her unfailing good humor. In the pages of Star TV, she affirms that this creation is the echo of her own life, between celibacy, child, period of joy and especially of depression. Because yes, the star of Orders suffers from constraining anxiety disorders:I don’t want people to know me at all. I just hope to make those who suffer from anxiety disorders feel guilty, she confides. Let’s be indulgent with our mental illnesses! Maybe if I show that sometimes I need antidepressants to survive, that will help the sick.“
His “anxiety disorders“, Florence Foresti has suffered from them for several years. But that obviously does not prevent her from making fun of them and putting them forward to make people laugh. Florence Foresti assumes that she wants to reveal herself but without showing too much either. Like everything related to motherhood and her daughter Toni: “I didn’t want to portray my daughter. I wanted to protect her. […] Will she be okay with me showing her when she’s older? She will see.”
Same thing on the side of his loves. Separated from Xavier Maingon, Florence Foresti preferred to imagine her character as a single woman: “Celibacy is often funnier than despairing than fulfilling married life. Celibacy also plunges the character into real loneliness when his daughter is with her father and allows me to do scenes of seduction or failed love..” The failure is not currently relevant on this side since Florence Foresti swims in full happiness with Alexandre Kominek.
