Alexandra Lamy is happy. The actress, coming to the poster of Beautiful girl, agreed to speak openly in an interview with the magazine Psychologies, on newsstands Wednesday, June 3, 2020. Assertiveness, work, friendship, love, family. At 48, Alexandra Lamy knows what makes her happy in life. No more forcing yourself, whatever the subject. And even less in love! After sharing his life with actor Thomas Jouannet (the father of his daughter Chloé Jouannet) from 1995 to 2003, then with actor Jean Dujardin (his partner in the series A boy a girl) from 2003 to 2013, Alexandra Lamy enjoys her single life. She doesn't hesitate to shout it all over the place: you don't need someone to familiarize yourself with happiness.
"The most important thing is to be happy"
"Even if I am very faithful in friendship, I was able to sort through. After 40 years, I have stopped imposing evenings with so-and-so with whom I know my morale is plummeted… It can be the same in love, there comes a time when we know how to say to ourselves: 'OK, this' is good ! I gave, I accepted, I made an effort, now I think of myself ", begins by explaining Alexandra Lamy. “For example, right now, I don't particularly want to have someone in my life. I assume that the most important thing is to be happy. However, sometimes we try to form a couple only out of fear, not for our own happiness. And I'm not afraid of being alone. On the contrary: I am very happy alone! Because I grew up alone: my parents worked a lot and my sister was born when I was already 10 years old. I spent my childhood without a mobile phone, in the countryside, with my dog. I learned not to be bored alone. ”
"Above all, I have no problem going home alone at night"
As we approach 50, Alexandra Lamy is happier than ever. "The most important thing, I think, to love being alone is not to feel in need of love. And I have my daughter, my sister, my family, my friends … But above all I have no problem going home alone at night. It’s such freedom! In any case for me, who is also lucky to have a life that suits me and no major concerns ”, she rejoices. The passing of time has no hold on the actress, who seems to benefit as much as possible from what she considers her best years. "It’s a lot more fun for me than when I was 20," she says. Because I know myself, I have a job that I love, a girl who has grown up, no health concerns … Yes, I feel good in my age. I love quarantine! ” And to conclude, serene and amused: “Passing the milestone of 50 years does not scare me. But hey, at 51, it may be another matter… (Laughs) ” A testimony that feels good.
