And one more candle for Christopher Lambert, a ! This Tuesday, March 29, the actor celebrates his 65th birthday. An age at which there is more to look back than forward. Moreover, in the most beautiful memories of the existence of the hero of Highlander, there is Sophie Marceau. The two movie stars met on the set of The disappearance of Deauville (film released in 2007), which the famous performer Vic Beretton was realizing at the time.
It was love at first sight, so much so that this sudden love shattered the one that Sophie Marceau had at the time with Jim Lemley, the father of her daughter Juliette. Their relationship has nothing to do with those they may have known before, it is much more thoughtful according to his comments relayed by Paris Match : “At the heart of this relationship, there is a desire for balance, for harmony. We are less in the devouring passion, more in the accompaniment of the other.“
Together, Christophe Lambert and Sophie Marceau scoured the red carpets of the most beautiful cinema events. Their love ran through all the festivals, award shows and previews. For the honorary prize received by Christophe Lambert in 2010 at the Cabourg film festival, Sophie Marceau, usually modest, had declared her love to him: “He fell in love with a keychain (I Love You) and Josiane Balasko (Arlette), dyed himself platinum blonde to walk around the metro (Subway), even pretended he had become eternal (Highlander)… For him, I want fall in love with a key ring and even with Josiane Balasko, or dye myself blonde to stroll in the metro… But, above all, I would like to be eternal and enjoy the moments we have to live together…“
From 2007 to 2014, the star couple of cinema made many others dream, until a press release from Sophie Marceau and Christophe Lambert put a definitive end to this seven-year idyll. No fracas for all that: “We have decided to separate in friendship. It is for me an implacable logic. You never stop loving someone, you love them differently. Now, in a couple, it happens that we no longer have the same desires“, he assured Gala. In 2020, the actor even revealed that his ex had become his “best friend“: “We go on vacation together, we see each other all the time!“The most beautiful of the possible consequences of love.
