After having rubbed shoulders with women from his milieu, Gérard Darmon fell under the spell of Christine, an anonymous person in the eyes of the public unlike his own. When the actor met her, Christine was none other than the “governess” of Sarah and Jules, children of Mathilda May: “Christine, I didn’t meet her in an office or on the set of a film, or even at the theatre. She comes from a whole other universe, from a world that was totally foreign to mehe says in The dictionary of my lifepublished in 2019 by Kero editions. Sarah was two years old when she joined the family and Jules had met her from day one.”
The children of Gérard Darmon therefore witnessed the birth of love between their dad and their future mother-in-law. More than twenty years after the start of their romance, the actor still cannot believe the strength of their relationship: “What did I see in her that others ignored? An absolutely phenomenal potential in terms of heart intelligence! And it is this invaluable resource that nourishes our relationship and allows it to last for more than twenty years..” Christine? The only true romantic comedy of her life.
