Philippe Torreton is a flamboyant actor on screens and on stage. He also has strong words in the media, to defend his ideas. This is how the one who celebrates his 56th birthday on October 13, 2022 was able to make strong statements in the press, against Gérard Depardieu for example when he wanted to settle in Belgium and return his passport. Sometimes it is Torreton’s name that is mentioned in front of the cameras, and not by just anyone: his ex Claire Chazal. Back to this unexpected moment of television.
One evening in 2017, Claire Chazal replaced Christine Angot at short notice in her chair as columnist for the show We are not in bed presented by Laurent Ruquier. The former star of the TF1 JT therefore finds himself sitting alongside the controversial Yann Moix and has the task of reacting to the work of the guests of the show.
Visibly comfortable in her role as a “sniper”, Claire Chazal gave her opinion on the book Che to death by Marcela Iacub. As a photo of the book and its headband with the image of Che Guevara appears on the screen, the journalist-star declares: “I had a somewhat iconic image of this man. I was talking about it with Anny Duperey that marketing meant that we had advantageous photos. He had a vague resemblance to Philippe Torreton, so I must have liked it. It was a formula a little for shopgirls.”
An allusion to his former relationship with the actor who did not fail to make the audience laugh, surprised that the ex of PPDA thus distills an element of his private life live. She continues, about the legendary political leader: “I learned a lot of things and I realize that the only thing that is lovable about him is that he likes books, he likes reading.“
Claire Chazal and Philippe Torreton formed a couple between 2003 and 2007. The famous Captain Conan also had two children, Louis and Marie, born of his marriage to the director Anne-Marie Étienne, then two others with his wife the journalist Elsa Boublil, Jeanne and Simon, born respectively in 2008 and 2011.
