This Sunday, September 11, C8 broadcasts the film The best job in the world with Michèle Laroque (Hélène), Ticky Holgado (M. Baudouin, the CPE), Daniel Prévost (Albert), Guy Marchand (M. Gauthier, the principal), Roschdy Zem (Ahmed), Mouss Diouf (Momo) and Gérard Depardieu in the role of Laurent Monier, the history-geography teacher. A film directed by Gérard Lauzier and released in 1996.
If in fiction Gérard Depardieu had a romantic relationship with other actresses, including Michèle Laroque who plays the mother of his children in The best job in the world, the 73-year-old actor was in a relationship in real life with Carole Bouquet. They had already shared the movie poster too beautiful for you in 1989. Their relationship lasted from 1996 to 2005.
Gerard Depardieu has “almost had a child with Carole Bouquet”
In 2014, Gérard Depardieu released an autobiography entitled It happened like this published by XO editions in which he had an astonishing revelation about his affair with the 65-year-old actress: “I almost had a child with Carole Bouquet, but fate did not want it. And in the same way that I had Roxane with Karine while our story was running out of steam with Elisabeth, I had Jean with Hélène Bizot, while we were going to separate with Carole.” Indeed, between 2001 and 2006, while he was in a relationship with Carole Bouquet, Gérard Depardieu had a love affair with Hélène Bizot, the daughter of the anthropologist François Bizot and mother of his son Jean. Subsequently, the actor is in a relationship with a former student of Harvard University, Clémentine Igou.
For her part, Carole Bouquet, who has since gotten into a relationship with Philippe Sereys de Rothschild does not regret anything about her affair with Gérard Depardieu as she confided to Vanity Fair : “I wouldn’t want to deny anything. Those I loved with a deep love are still there. […] I have loved fascinating men, with extraordinary curiosity and strength. I loved these excessive moments with them.”
