A monster of French cinema, Fabrice Luchini does not necessarily have the physique of a great seducer, but he nevertheless has the advantage of possessing inimitable prose. Interviewed by tvmag, the 70-year-old actor recalled with nostalgia his beginnings in the cinema and the not always very pleasant remarks he received at the time. “Henri Bernstein, author of Mélo, was obsessed with women. We called him ‘Divan le terrible’ and he said: ‘Any actor who doesn’t have women will never make a career.’ At the beginning of mine, an agent told me: ‘You will never succeed, because you are not gendered, you are not attractive to women'”.
It is clear that this former agent was wrong since the man knew how to make a place for himself in the heart of the public but also of many women, admiring his intelligence and his way of speaking like a true poet. “I always quote Marguerite Duras: ‘Women enjoy first through their ears’“, he adds proudly.
Emma’s dad, whom he had in 1979 with Cathy Debeauvais, Fabrice Luchini has long enjoyed libertinage. Curious and ready to test all sexual practices, he also indicated that he had had a homosexual experience in 2009 with the magazine Stubborn. “There was a time when I was in bad shape and thought to myself that maybe I was a repressed homo. I tried once with a guy, but that wasn’t it. It got me…boo…confused“, he confided with great frankness.
Follower of the pleasures of the flesh and not hesitating to shock the self-righteous, he had also revealed to have long been to see prostitutes with the journalists of Telerama. Defining himself as asearcher“Love, he said:”For twenty years, everyone thought I was gay: such a mannered actor! But I was obsessed with women, a client of prostitutes from the age of fifteen. I was what Céline would call perineal trouble.“
