On the occasion of his 40-year career, including 26 spent playing “Joséphine, guardian angel”Mimie Mathy will be entitled to a documentary on TF1, on December 25, 2023, entitled “Mimie Mathy life size“. Questioned by our colleagues from Gala on the importance of her dwarfism in the program, the 66-year-old actress preferred to take things philosophically.
“I would have liked to have Adriana Karembeu’s legs“
She explained: “I don’t take it badly“. And added: “My height, 1.32 meters, will always remain a subject. There will always be puns about it.”. Not without humor, the paf star also compared herself to a model of Slovak origin that the French also adore, and said: “I would have liked to have Adriana Karembeu’s legs but she is not necessarily happier than me.”
Adriana Karembeu says she measures 1.78 m and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for having some of the longest legs in the fashion world (they measure 1.24 meters)! That being said, the incendiary blonde has already divorced twice (from Christian Karembeu, then from Aram Ohanian), while Mimie Mathy has shown continuous love with Benoist Gérard for 19 years.
But it hasn’t always been easy for Mimie Mathy, in love, as she admits to Gala. Because of its size, she remembers: “As a teenager, it wasn’t easy. It’s an age that is not made to cope with the difference. Whereas I dreamed of being fooled in the cinema.”.
“I can be a fantasy for some”
A sentimental ordeal that was only resolved much later when she crossed paths with her soul mate, as Mimie Mathy says: “Afterwards, it didn’t get any easier. I put myself in sentimental situations that were dead ends. The married man, for example. Finally I avoided the pitfall of harassment. Although I remember this producer who once said to me: ‘I would like an adventure with someone like you’. I’m not the beautiful Barbie doll you want to court every morning, but I can be a fantasy for some.”. A point in common with Adriana Karembeu, finally!
