My so-called homosexuality made me laugh more than anything else”, he confided in the columns of Paris Match in 2017.
“People believe what they want“, he added. “My family, my friends, of course don’t care. I like to talk about it on stage because I have a lot of fun with labels”. During his career, Fred Testot had a lot of fun with these gossip. “People think that because I play gay characters, I am. It’s funny !”, has fun the one who became a dad for the first time in 2013.

Happy in his couple, Fred Testot has found a certain balance between his professional life and his private life. “I am attached to my job but I am also attached to my other life, the one outside of work. People tend to forget it’s just a job. If we forget it, then we change. It’s not my case. I don’t have wild career ambitions. I just have the ambition to be happy”, explained the former star of After-sales service during his interview for Paris Match.
And to continue during an interview for Télé Pro: “My job as an actor is totally different from my private life. I find it great to separate them well, taking care not to have any interference between the two. When I read a script, what grabs my attention is the role within an overall story.” Touching confidences.
