All fans of the couple formed by Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine can say thank you to the cinema. It’s on a shoot, that of I am a no man’s land, that the two actors really got to know each other. And we are far from love at first sight that we see so often in romantic comedies. Initially, Julie Depardieu simply did not want to start anything with Philippe Katerine: “Before meeting Philippe, I was coming out of a difficult breakup and I no longer wanted to live with history. But it’s always when you don’t believe it anymore that it happens” she confided to Entertainment TV.
Just out of a breakup with Laurent Korcia, violinist with whom she shared 7 years of her life, Julie Depardieu had a lot of trouble moving forward and recovering from this very difficult loss for her. The actress therefore did not have the head to find love at the time: “I remember going to Dolle, where the filming was taking place, without expecting anything. I didn’t have a furious desire to exist, I was there and not there at the same time. Losing someone knocks you down, makes you question everything. […] The very idea of really existing disgusted me.”
It wasn’t the first time that life had thrown a wrench in their wheels when it came to love. Two years earlier, Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine discovered each other for the first time for the purposes of a cross interview during which they were “agree on nothing“in addition to the rest:”He was in a relationship and I wasn’t ready, I had just lost my brother. It took until 2010 for this to materialize. (…) Our love is mysterious. I never thought it would fall on me. Besides, I didn’t want children, the idea scared me. I didn’t think I was made for family life“, she said in Paris Match.
The humor, the patience and the will of Philippe Katerine will have finally got the better of Julie Depardieu. Since their love story began, the two actors have been on cloud nine and still haven’t come down. But marriage, very little for them. Their beautiful romance, they preferred to concretize it by becoming the parents of Billy, 11 years old and Alfred, 9 years old. Children who already follow artistic voices according to their mother’s words: “One of my sons already has an artistic eye and is passionate about makeup and hairstyling. Anyway, I’ll let them do it, but I’ll advise them to watch their backs, because it’s not easy to do a job in which you depend on someone else’s desire..” Dogs are not cats.
