This Wednesday, January 4, 2023, Yvan Attal blows out his 58th candle! A key figure in the industry of the 7ᵉ French art, the happy father of three children has chained the projects in recent years. The media and his admirers are equally fascinated by his love affair with Charlotte Gainsbourg. “When you stay with someone so long and you don’t get bored, it’s good that it’s worth it, so the more you advance, the more reason you have to tell yourself. There are obviously times when you want to question your life. But I think I’ll be miserable without her.”revealed Yvan Attal for Marie Claire.
Inseparable, the actor and his long-time girlfriend never wanted to unite! “ It would have terrified me. I did not want to say in front of any authority: ‘I commit myself for life.’ How can one say: ‘I swear fidelity’? We are all talkers. I refused to put any extra pressure on myself. The couple is something too fragile to aim for an ideal. When you’re good with someone, it requires concessions. Necessarily. But we don’t lose anything in history, in fact we only win, “ he analyzed philosophically.
“I became irritable…”
In good and bad times, the duo never let go. Yet because of a role he landed in the film “Rapt” (2009 editor’s note), Yvan Attal experienced ups and downs with his other half… Because of his impressive physical transformation. “I ate practically nothing, I had no more energy”he explained to our colleagues at Première. “I realized that the flattering image I had of myself only existed in my head. And especially not in that of my wife who no longer wanted to fuck with me! “.
Obviously, it took him a long time to get back on his feet: “Before shooting, […], I no longer had a social life, I no longer took my meals at the table with my family, I cooked my grub alone in my corner, weighing each grain of rice. I became irritable, unable to secure a date, so I never left the house. This necessary weight loss has totally isolated me. I was between depression and euphoria”. Bad memories now behind him…
