Invited on March 13 in the show seven to eight – when he came to promote his new film Squad, in which he replies to Audrey Lamy – François Cluzet confided in his difficult childhood. The hero ofUntouchables who celebrates his birthday today had explained in particular that he had been abandoned at the age of 8 by his mother.
“There was a moment which was very difficult, it was when we had to move to my grandmother’s house. There, we found ourselves at five in a two-room apartment on the ground floor, which was my grandmother’s old shop. She welcomed us, my father, my brother and me. The three of us ended up in a cage bed that was completely smashed. We were eating on a small game table for five, which did not hold. It was Public Assistance who gave us the sheets [et] covers”he told the ex-companion of Valérie Bonneton, he who has none “Never Wanted” to his mother, “because she left for love”.
We suffered his depression
To these difficult conditions was added a lack of affection on the part of his father who fell into depression after the departure of his wife, who was notably the mother of his children and therefore of François. “Sometimes it was a bit sad, because we lacked tenderness, we lacked love. My father was depressed, my mother had left. So we caught my dad’s depression and we had a really hard time getting out of it. Much trouble”, he had revealed, before continuing: “I think my father added a lot, because his idea was to bring my mother back. But we suffered from her depression.”
Blanche’s father, Paul (whose mother is the late Marie Trintignant), Joseph and Marguerite, who felt “totally alone” at that time of his life, had concluded this interview with a terrible confidence, always in relation to his father :”He wanted to kill us, he wanted to kill himself. It was hard at that ageIt was hard.”
