If there are many questions that Arielle Dombasle does not support being asked, these are all those concerning her age. The actress has always maintained the mystery around her year of birth, ignoring all the rumors about her age. However, she did not escape the theme during an interview with Jordan de Luxe for Télé Loisirs. “There are wrong dates” she told the journalist. But out of the question for him to let his guest leave without knowing more.
Jordan de Luxe therefore put on the big clogs and mentioned the age that the Wikipedia site lent him, almost 70 years old. Arielle Dombasle’s reaction was not long in coming: “Oh no no no! It’s not true. […] I’m given so many different ages.” Without revealing the exact date, the wife of Bernard-Henri Lévy brushed aside the idea that she was entering a seventh decade. But why does Arielle Dombasle put so much energy into keeping this detail secret? The answer is quite simple: “I find it annoying to know people’s ages. It’s reductive. We are the age we look like.“
Few people know the exact date of birth of Arielle Dombasle. Her parents knew her, of course. There is no doubt that her husband must know it too, but there is a journalist who also had the privilege of taking a look at the artist’s papers: Luc Le Vaillant. At the time in 2019, he interviews her for the daily Release and wants to put an end to the mystery of Arielle Dombasle’s age. The latter refuses but grants him the right to look and especially to be silent.
“You sent me the copy of your passport to put an end to the controversy which tires you without excessively disturbing you. Wikipedia claims you are 65 years old. I can testify that America (Arielle Dombasle was born in Connecticut, editor’s note) gives you 60” he wrote. If we rely on this information, the actress of An Indian in the city would therefore be born on April 27, 1958. True or false? We will probably never know. Unless the main interested has actually already dropped the piece…
