Today, everything smiles on Jarry: recognized humorist, on TV or in his showsthe 45-year-old showman is also a happy man in his personal life. In a relationship with an ultra discreet companion, he is the father of adorable twins whom he loves to tell nonsense on his Instagram account, without ever showing their faces. But all was not always so rosy and clear in her life.
As he confided to Frédéric Lopez on the show A Sunday in the countryside yesterday, he believed he was straight for a long time, and even considered his coming out as “violent” for him.
“At the time, I’m with women, I’m 23, 24. I never questioned my sexuality. I realize that I don’t live what my friends live, because when I tell them about my sexual relations with women, for me it’s technique, they always talk to me about incredible moments, I don’t find myself super up to it“, he begins, very honest about this part of his life.
He realizes, however, that everyone has understood the situation before him. “A lot of people tell me, every time they meet me, ‘But you, are you gay?’, and I answer: ‘But not at all!’. Until the day I meet a boy and have my first experience. There it was something extremely violent for me“, he admits under the gaze of the presenter and the other guests, Clara Luciani and Tatiana de Rosnay.
While the presenter asks him why to use the adjective violent, the comedian answers bluntly: “Because I didn’t want to be gay. I didn’t want to be gay, I was already effeminate, sensitive, I already had a lot of things that made me different. I wanted to dance, etc…“.
And for him, a detail of his future life poses a problem: “The first thing, in my head I say to myself: ‘So I’m never going to be a dad’, when all my life I feel like I’ve been training, even at school and I’m not going to access to this status“, he says. A status that he ended up obtaining thanks to the GPA in the United States, which gave him his twins, nicknamed Vic and Tim.
