Jules Benchetrit is the son of Marie Trintignant and Samuel Benchetrit. On the night of July 26 to 27, 2003, the actress was found dead in a hotel room in Lithuania, with her companion Bertrand Cantat. That day, she had sent a message to her former companion, Samuel Benchetrit, Jules’ dad, who raised him alone with his little sister Saul Benchetrit, daughter that the actor had with Anna Mouglalis. “It was he who taught me to behave well, to dress well, to create a good image. Education is essential for him“, confided Jules Benchetrit to Galain 2019. Since then, what has become of Lily-Rose Depp’s half-brother, then 24 years old?
Like his two illustrious parents, the young Jules Benchetrit chose comedy. And he has just been chosen to be in the cast of the mini-series devoted to Brigitte Bardot. While Julia de Nunez will lend her features to the BB icon, he will camp Sami Frey there. The youngest son of the tragically deceased actress – when he was only 5 years old – he was marked by this tragic event. On Instagram, on May 16, Jules Benchetrit posted a beautiful tribute to Marie Trintignant, a superb photo of her in black and white which testifies to the resemblance between the mother and her son. Very little active on social networks, he thus reserved this tribute filled with modesty, without the slightest comment.
If he is expected in the casting of this biopic on Brigitte Bardot, it is far from being the actor’s first project. He already has nearly five feature films to his credit. Jules Benchetrit has a large number of actors as siblings. He is the half-brother of Roman, actor, – whose father is Richard Kolinka -, of Paul – born of the union between the actress and François Cluzet -, and of Léon, born of the relationship of the latter with Mathias Othnin – Girard. But also that of Saul Benchetrit, daughter of his father, also an actress. As well as that of Lily-Rose Depp, since the alliance of Samuel Benchetrit with Vanessa Paradis, whose talents are no longer presented in front of a camera or a lens.
