close to the couple, Benjamin Biolay confides

On June 4, François Hollande and Julie Gayet finally passed the ring on their finger. After 8 years of love, they sealed their union at the town hall of Tulle, in front of their families and loved ones. The two lovers opted for a discreet ceremony and would have invited only ten people, according to information from La Montagne magazine, relayed by Télé-Loisirs. Among the lucky ones to attend the wedding of François Hollande and Julie Gayet was Benjamin Biolay. You must know that the 49-year-old singer is very friendly with the bride and was even her best man!

The two friends have known each other for more than 18 years! Indeed, they met in 2004, when Julie Gayet interpreted the main role in Clara and me, while Benjamin Biolay was behind the soundtrack of the film. Since then, they have remained very close and their friendship has continued to grow over the years. They then multiply the collaborations. In 2007, the wife of François Hollande plays in the clip of his friend. And in 2021, they share the screen for the first time in Like an actress. Much more than just working partners, the two starlets are very good friends. The proof: Benjamin Biolay was Julie Gayet’s witness at her wedding! This Thursday, August 25, he also confided in this discreet ceremony which caused a lot of ink to flow.

Julie Gayet and François Hollande: the couple seen by Benjamin Biolay

Julie Gayet’s best friend quickly got to know her husband, François Hollande. Over the years, he even became good friends with him too. So when Benjamin Biolay attends the wedding of his two friends, the emotion is there! “It was great to be with François Hollande in Corrèze, where there is another way to see him. He’s someone I really like, I don’t feel like I’m friends with a former President of the Republic” he confided to the magazine Paris Match. “Besides, when he got married, the mayor presented him as an adviser to the Court of Auditors” he revealed. As a reminder, it is one of the first positions occupied by François Hollande after the ENA. Benjamin Biolay was therefore happy to be part of the committee close to Julie Gayet and François Hollande during their marriage. On September 9, the singer will be back in stores with a new opus called Saint Clair. At 49, the French singer is therefore not about to give up his microphone!
