The opening of the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday May 17 had a very special flavor. Not only was the sun, often on strike at this time of year, there, but the event was all the brighter thanks to the presence of the many stars from all walks of life who walked the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals: Samuel Le Bihan, Rossy de Palma, Alex Lutz, Rebecca Hall, Lucien Jean-Baptiste, Eva Longoria, Valeria Golino, Forest Whitaker, honorary gold medal… Beautiful people came to support Michel Hazanavicius, his partner Bérénice Béjo and Romain Duris, the two main actors in her completely crazy film Cut! screened for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.
This event, Gérard Jugnot did not want to miss it for anything in the world! The 71-year-old actor walked the red carpet at the palace wearing a sleek black suit complete with bow tie. It is not alone that the star of the Splendid climbed the steps. For the occasion, he had invited his wife Patricia Campi to his side. The lawyer from Marseille clashed in a total flashy pink look, dressed in a loose trouser suit and a golden clutch. A rare appearance for the couple, not the type to show up at social events.
The lovebirds were more accomplices than ever in front of the lens of the photographers. A love that is pleasing to see and which proves that the 30 years that separate them in no way hinder the feelings they have for each other. It was the cinema that brought them together at the time. The couple met on the set of the film Between friends in 2014. They formalize two years later, just a few weeks before their wedding on the island of Porquerolles in the Var. “Older marriage, happy marriage“said his son Arthur Jugnot to him. Previously Gérard had been in a relationship with Saida Jawad, but the actress had ended their romance.
What is certain is that alongside Patricia, Gérard Jugnot sees, in any case, life in pink.
