Daft Punk: What does Thomas Bangalter look like without his helmet?

As if the Covid-19 crisis hadn’t been enough to undermine the morale of the troops, the cult duo of daft-punk, formed by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, announced their separation. After 28 years of collaboration, the most famous helmeted men in the world (no, not our former president) decided to stop everything. France 5 is broadcasting the documentary almost a year later Daft Punk Unchained as a bonus this Friday, January 21. Their decision, as hard as it is to accept, will have allowed them to regain some semblance of normal life. All these years, the musicians had spent them with their faces concealed so as not to be recognized, a trademark of the creators of One More Time. From the helmet to the mask, there is not much difference but enough to be able to get a glimpse of the true face of these gentlemen. Their appearances “uncovered” were always very noticed, especially those of Thomas Bangalter.

Thomas Bangalter has been in a relationship for over twenty years with actress Elodie Bouchez, with whom he had two children, Tara-Jay and Roxan. The small family has often taken advantage of the good air of Paris to spend time with the family. This is how fans could also observe in detail the rarely identifiable physique of one of the most famous DJs in the world. Sharp observers have also been able to see it in Reality, a film by Quentin Dupieux.

The separation of Daft Punk did not sign the end of the career of Thomas Bangalter. The 47-year-old musician and producer has signed a contract with the Opéra national de Bordeaux to create the music for his next ballet: Mythologies. A great project that came just a few months after the end of Daft Punk. And for the biggest fans, the result will be to be discovered from July 1 to 10, 2022 during performances at the Bordeaux institution. Even without a helmet, Thomas Bangalter is not afraid to go at full speed.
