Legendary teacher with an angelic face on the small screen from 1993 to 2005, Gérard Klein embodied a benevolent and very protective teacher with his students. Who could have believed that the actor had had an affair in his past with a former model suspected of having killed Gérard Lebovici and a spy from the French secret services?
It was in 1971 that Gérard Klein met the pretty redhead when he was a star of the RTL channel. Hypnotized by the young woman, he fell in love with her to the point of getting married just days after they met. Unfortunately, their union will last only ten days. “It was just to party. She was a free woman“, confided the host of the programs Who knows and Gérard Klein around the world.
Interviewed by Dreuz.info., Manuel Gomez also revealed the underside of the love story between Gérard Klein and Véronique Troy. “Vero telephoned me to announce her marriage to Gérard Klein, who was not yet L’Institut. It only lasted the space of a honeymoon“, he had told.
In 1977, a few years after her divorce from Gérard Klein, Véronique Troy was murdered in Yemen. Adventurer, model, call-girl, robber, jet-setter then member of the French secret services, the young woman was found dead with Françoise Scrivano in the company of President Hamdi, his brother and two bodyguards. The height of horror, the victims had been found with their bodies perforated by submachine gun bullets and all had had their heads cut off.
An unsuspected sentimental past for the Institute who now leads a tidy life with his wife Françoise Vallon. Interviewed by The Parisian in 2021, he explained: “With my wife, we live in a house with grass around it, space. I love mornings. There, I had a pile of wood to cut into 30 cm long pieces, so that it would fit in the stove of one of our daughters, who lives next door. Since this morning, I saw wood. I love it (…) Otherwise, I read. I am a super idler: I manage to spend time doing nothing at all. These are the most constructive moments for me“.
Father of Mélie (born in 1980) and Ninon (born in 1983) fruits of his love with Françoise Vallon, he is also the father of Véronique, born in 1963 from his first marriage with Chantal Sadorge.
