Will Francis Perrin be entitled to a surprise visit from one of his children on Friday January 28, 2022 in the show The secret box ? Everything is possible. After all, the 74-year-old comedian is the head of a large tribe. He adopted his twins Cécile and Fabiola, born in 1988 in French Polynesia, with his first wife Laurence. He had a daughter named Jeanne in 1998 with actress Caroline Berg. But it is with Gersende Dufromentel that he has made his life since the beginning of the 2000s… and it is with her that he completed this great great family!
The lovers met while Gersende Dufromentel was a 3rd year student at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris. This love at first sight may have come about thanks to a common passion. After all, Francis Perrin has several times given the reply to his wife at the theater, in Like a leaning tree, for example, or in the room Same time next year, which evoked adultery in a couple. But the actor, outside the boards, swore loyalty to the eternal. He married his partner in 2002.
Louis was self-harming, not sleeping, walking or talking
Their feelings very quickly materialized since that same year, Gersende Dufromentel gave birth to Louis, their first common child. They also had Clarisse in 2004 and Baptiste in 2005. Alas, the birth of the youngest was rocked by dark ideas. While everyone rejoiced at this birth, Louis was diagnosed with a severe form of autism. His father sank into alcoholism, his mother fell ill. But all this is, fortunately, only a bad memory. This small world had moved to Lille to test the stimulation technique Applied Behavior Analysis and the young man is now perfectly independent.
“Louis was self-harming, not sleeping, walking or talking, explained Francis Perrin. We had to teach him all that.” This story, Gersende Dufromentel and her husband told it in detail in a book they wrote together, entitled step by step and released in 2013.
