“Added. A story written with my heart, about those I love and who gave me the desire…“, tweeted Alexander Brewer on April 29 on his account. His book has been available for a few days from Plon editions. Currently in full promotion, the 51-year-old actor gave an interview to the Parisian in which it is question of his family, necessarily.
In awe of the incredible of her late dad who left on December 22, 2020, the star of the series tomorrow belongs to us (TF1) inherited the talent of Claude Brasseur. The one he doesn’t call dad in public but Claude. The fault of a remonstrance dating back many years. “I worked as an assistant director on Dirty like an angel by Catherine Breillat. One day, I go to see her and I ask her: Where is daddy? We are waiting for him on the set. She grabbed me: I’m arresting you straight away, Alex. Here we work. There’s no dad: it’s Claude. OK, agreed. Boom.“, recalls Alexandre Brasseur in his book.
Like his illustrious dad, the actor was not born with the name of Brasseur, but that of Espinasse. This duplicate has sometimes created problems for him, as he recounts in his book. “After an airline employee refused him boarding on the grounds that the name on his ticket did not exactly match that of his identity card, Alexandre Brasseur flew into a rage and ended up boarding the plane. .. and took steps to have the name appear on his papers“, relates The Parisian.
His two surnames are useful for Alexandre Brasseur, depending on the case. “I grew up with both names, he points out. I feel like both. I play with both: when I want to be quiet, I say Espinasse; when I need to book a table at the restaurant, I say Brasseur“, explains the dad of Louis and Jeanne (born of his love for his ex-wife Juliette) to the Parisian. A juggling between Brasseur and Espinasse could not be more practical!
