Benjamin Castaldi spoke openly about his cosmetic surgery during his appearance on the show Chez Jordan De Luxe on C8, explaining the reasons behind this decision.
At 53, Benjamin Castaldi is redirecting himself towards a new challenge, embracing the world of theater after having made the history of French reality TV. The La Madeleine theater in Paris presents “Bungalow 21”, a play by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, starring Emmanuelle and Mathilde Seigner and exploring the supposed love affairs between Marylin Monroe and Yves Montand. As a descendant of Yves Montand and Simone Signoret, Benjamin Castaldi immersed himself in this project, even abandoning his role as columnist in “Touche pas à mon poste!” on C8 last June. “It’s striking. I’m delighted because we were able to captivate with the characters without imitating them”he commented regarding the portrayal of actresses as Marylin Monroe and Simone Signoret.
At the end of September, in the show “At Jordan De Luxe” on C8, Benjamin Castaldi found himself confronted with more intimate questions. Discussions around his alliances, breakups, offspring, and above all a focus on his life with Aurore Aleman, with whom he united in 2016 and who gave him a son, Gabriel, in 2020. Benjamin Castaldi’s reaction to a photo from his past was scathing: “I was much more youthful back then.” When questioned about his apparent change, he concedes: “Oh, I’m getting really old!” Host Jordan De Luxe then points out the issue of surgery, prompting a frank response from Castaldi.
