No doubt: Laura Smet inherited the artistic fiber of her famous parents. Daughter of Nathalie Baye and the late Johnny Hallyday, the 38-year-old mother combines wonderful projects. The next ? The room The Uncertainty Principle in which she will give the reply to Jean-Pierre Darroussin. She plays Georgie, a slightly crazy American: “She talks about the things she lives, she presents herself without a filter, without wrapping herself in a pretty paper to pretend that everything is fine“ confides the actress to Les Echos Week-end.
Laura Smet is a bit like her character, after all. The actress, long settled in Paris for the needs of her career and to be with her family, begins to suffocate in the heart of the capital. Like Thomas Dutronc in his song, Laura no longer loves Paris and does not hide it: “I often feel like I have a layer of dust on me, she says. Since my father died, I don’t like Paris anymore, I don’t know why, this city makes me sad.“
The death of Johnny Hallyday had upset France and its countless fans. The day of the national tribute had been the scene of a huge procession descended on the Champs-Elysées before a mass organized in the church of the Madeleine. Poignant moments in which Laura Smet had obviously participated. Remembering this sad period with each passage on the most beautiful avenue in the world is perhaps one of the reasons that makes him want to take off.
But fortunately for her, Laura Smet has found her haven of peace: “I have a house in the South West, I’m lucky enough to be able to leave as soon as I can with my little family, it’s a huge luxury.“Especially since this region is also synonymous with happy memories. On June 15, 2019, a symbolic date since Johnny Hallyday’s birthday, Laura Smet religiously married Raphaël Lancret-Javal. A happiness crowned by the arrival of a little Leo, almost 2 years old, first name chosen in homage to Johnny.
