If it is quite rare that Philippe Torreton addresses the subject of his family, when he does, we can be sure that it is for an important reason! Committed, and in particular in ecology, the 56-year-old actor confided to the Parisian his fears about the planet and in particular for his first grandson, born seven months ago and whom he modestly evokes for the newspaper. .
A birth (rather discreet) which made the actor wonder about the future: “If I was single, I might not care, but I have children, even a grandson for seven months. When I look at him smiling, I wonder what we are preparing for him? When he will have 80 brooms, who can say on which Earth and how he will live?“
Legitimate questions that he entrusts to the newspaper and which pushed him to accept this show, Here we are, mounted in collaboration with the drummer of Telephone, Richard Kolinka, and Aristide Rosier.
All three decided to devote a real ode to nature, by bringing together several strong texts in music. An important show for those who were involved in politics and who are used to getting on the boards. Entered the Comédie Française between 1990 and 1999, he also shared the boards with his eldest daughter Marie.
Became an actress like her father, a job that “was in [elle]” and which caused a period of “cold“between them, she has a brother, Louis, and two half-brothers and sisters, Jeanne and Simon, from her father’s second marriage to Elsa Boublil. Philippe Torreton, who is therefore very worried about them, tries as it is up to him to make daily efforts for the climate.
“I have an electric car, but I use public transport to come to Paris from Fontenay-sous-Bois. We have hens in the garden to turn our plate waste into eggs, it works very well. We try to buy as organic and local as possible, to eat in season, to moderate our meat consumption, to limit our incidental expenses, also to ask ourselves when we buy something if we really need it“.
Responsible, the actor who shared his life with Claire Chazal tries to “favor the made in France when possible“. However, he remains realistic, “the more money you have, the simpler and more possible it is. We can invite people to be careful, if they can’t afford it…“. The play is played from Tuesday to Sunday at the Comédie Française.
