He is an actor who maintains his secret garden. Gregory Montel, alias Gabriel Sarda in the hit series Ten percent, is happily married with his wife, who is also not unknown to the general public. Indeed, the 45-year-old actor has been in a relationship since 2008 to Marine Danaux, who lends his features to Sophie Corcel in the soap opera More beautiful life, broadcast on France 3 for decades. When he does not respond to his colleagues in front of the cameras, Grégory Montel is a loving father to his two sons, Marius and Gary, aged 8 and 5.
During an interview with our colleagues from TV-Leisure in 2019, he poured out his daily life as a father, which he says is very different from Nicolas, the character he played at the time in The Grand Bazaar. “I am not at all an ideal dad. I do not have at all his patience, his good manliness. He is very responsible, that is not the case with me either.”, confided the forties. Before continuing, with the same sincerity: “To me, having my children for a whole day is sometimes hard. It’s a real job “.
Sharing the same passion as his partner, Grégory Montel admits that it is sometimes difficult to link personal and professional life within their relationship. “Our mothers were true everyday heroines: some worked and looked after the children while the men did nothing (…) My father, whom I love deeply, has never changed a diaper. In my private life, I try. I think my partner assumes a little more than me, but I think I do a lot“, he declared in the columns of Parisian.
Marine Danaux and Grégory Montel have known each other for more than 10 years and met at the theater. On the set of I love you etc. this summer, the actor told a funny story about his couple. “Our first night, we spent it on the set of the Théâtre du Soleil, on the stage, that’s to tell you. It’s beautiful, but it’s much less romantic, because in fact, we have took the bed sheets and it was actually full of dust mites and I sneezed all night long. I don’t know about you, but I’m allergic to dust. ” A hell of an anecdote!
