This Friday, August 5, viewers will be able to find the talented Kad Merad alongside Corinne Masiero for a replay of an episode of Captain Marleau entitled “Some evils of love” with in particular André Manoukian, Nathalie Boutefeu, Roman Kané and India Hair. The ex-acolyte of Olivier Baroux with whom he formed the comic duo Kad & Olivier, plays the role of a singer named Daniel Rivière. A role that suits him like a glove at Kad Merad because before becoming an actor, he worked as a drummer and singer in several rock bands.
On the private side, Kad Merad has shared the life of the beautifulJulia Vignali for almost eight years. But before winning the heart of the host of Telematin, Kad Merad was in a relationship with the writer and lyricist Emmanuelle Cosso whom he met during his theater lessons. In a relationship since 1992, they gave birth to a son Kalil in 2004. Kad Merad and Emmanuelle Cosso separated in 2012 after twenty years together.
“I slipped him a sweet note in his pocket”
In 2008, Kad Merad and Emmanuelle Cosso, still married, gave an interview to Paris Match where they returned to their meeting. “It was enough for me to see him during a rehearsal of “Ruy Blas” by Victor Hugo, he was playing the scene where Don César empties a bag of gold coins. And I cracked… He gave off such a energy, he had such a presence and he made me laugh so much!”remembered the ex-girlfriend of Kad Merad. “I had to smile, give a few signals, but he was the one who took the first step… in writing”, she added. For his part, the main concerned Kad Merad also remembered his first moments with his ex-girlfriend: “I slipped him a sweet note in his pocket: “I think of you like the blind man in the daytime.” It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Well, I admit, I had borrowed this verse from Victor Hugo. I stole Ruy Blas’ declaration to the queen. The beautiful Emmanuelle, queen of hearts of Ruy Blas, that does it, doesn’t it?”. How cute !
At the time, Kad Merad, who once considered himself “the type of guy not to invest in a relationship” did not believe in great love, as he had confided to Paris Match : “I never imagined that love would fall on the corner of my face immediately, so abruptly and so obviously”did he declare.
