Love is not a long, quiet river, and it is not Chantal Ladesou who will say the opposite. While she was promoting her new show 1983, the actress spoke in the columns of Ciné Télé Revue on Wednesday October 19 about her husband, Michel Ansault. Together since the 1970s, the comedian met her future husband when she was still a student. In 1987, he became her manager before becoming the father of her three children: Alix, Julien and Clémence. Asked about “the secret of a love that has lasted for 47 years”, Chantal Ladesou made surprising revelations about the man who shares her life. “I almost left him after ten years of marriage because he was so difficult to live with, nervous and unpleasant”reported Leisure TVabout the former juror of the show Mask Singer before adding “It’s very easy to break but more difficult to build. Then, I thought about what linked me to him”.

Despite their ups and downs, the couple never left each other. The happy grandparents of five grandchildren are always close friends in their private and professional lives. In the play 1983, the actress plays opposite her husband. “I torture him a bit! He only plays ten minutes but takes his role very seriously. He asks me for advice and he finally realized that the job is difficult and tiring.”, she revealed to our Belgian colleagues. Already in 2019, in the pages of Galashe confided in this complicit rivalry between them. “Before, he was discreet. Now, he tells my stories and says they are his. I ultimately rubbed off on him a lot” she had explained. If she doesn’t want him to overshadow her, the father of her children shouldn’t be too distant either. “He is very jealous, it’s sometimes difficult to live with” she explained before adding that she too was, through a humorous anecdote: “The other day, I skated over him in public because he was sitting next to a pretty woman.”. Who loves well chatises as well. The couple appears more united than ever, after the ordeals they went through, including the death of their son Alix, 21, in a road accident.
