This Thursday, January 27, emotion was in order. The funeral of Gaspard Ulliel took place in the Saint-Eustache church, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Many stars were present to accompany the Saint Laurent actor on his last trip. Catherine Deneuve and Nathalie Baye, to whom he gave the reply in the drama Just the end of the world of Xavier Dolan, had moved among others in the image of Jérémie Rénier, Louis Garrel or Raphaël Personnaz. The discreet Mélanie Thierry also honored him. The actress of 40 years had shared with him the poster of The Princess of Montpensier, a film by Bertrand Tavernier, in 2010 and that of The dancer by Stephanie di Giusto. She was accompanied by her partner Raphaël, with whom she has been in a relationship for twenty years and thanks to whom she became the mother of two boys, Aliocha and Roman. If their appearances together are rare, the lovebirds have once again proven that they are still very united, especially in the event.
Their first meeting took place backstage at a concert given by mutual friends. Mélanie Thierry and Raphaël have never left each other since. At 20, the actress found in Raphaël the rare pearl that she had never been able to unearth in her youth: “I always fell in love, I always got dumped and every time I collapsed in the arms of my best friend., she confided to Gala in 2013. I had trouble seducing boys as a teenager, they didn’t like me very much, I lacked breasts, confidence“.
Raphael was obviously not of that opinion. Three years after falling in love with Mélanie Thierry, he offers her to make an appearance in the clip of his title Caravan, one of his most beautiful proofs of love with the sharing of one of his songs, The question is why. In twenty years, the couple has obviously experienced lows but to always go to the highest: “It wasn’t always calm, but we were able to resist. I feel like that made us very strong together. We are more connected than ever” she confided to Psychologies Magazine. And it’s still relevant.
