She was born six months before my dad left for heaven and my dad was able to see my daughter was a great blessing for me.”
I’m tattooed because I’m dumb
Gilles Lellouche also revealed a part of his body which he is struggling to get rid of, these are his tattoos. “I’m tattooed because I’m dumbhe launched in front of an interlocutor who questioned him on this subject. I made a bet with a friend. It was in California, in Los Angeles. I got tattooed for some nonsense and now it’s not going away. It sucks.” The actor took the opportunity to show off a tattoo on his left arm. “That’s my daughter’s name, Ava”, he said. He then showed this famous tattoo that he regrets. It is located on the right arm. “It sucks because it’s the logo of a movie called The Godfather (1972 film starring Al Pacino and Marlon Brando). Already the tattoo, it’s not great but to do that, it’s even more useless”he cursed.
On the news side, Gilles Lellouche is starring in the film Kompromat in which he takes on the role of Mathieu Roussel, a French expatriate who works in Russia and suddenly discovers that he is the victim of a “kompromat”. The film hits theaters this Wednesday, September 7.
