This Wednesday March 20, Danièle Gilbert celebrates her 81st birthday. The opportunity to return to the confidences she had made to Gala, on April 1st. In our columns, the former TV presenter revealed that she had “the chance to be in shape” and of “work[r]”. Concerned about her health, she explained how “Sport” and have a very healthy lifestyle, without smoking and without eating too much fat. “I don’t maintain a wellness routine. I don’t do what I don’t like, that’s it”she summed up with amusement, specifying that she had not “never drank wine or champagne” since she doesn’t like alcohol.
“So, I don’t force myself. Besides that, I have a phobia of butter, fat and creams, it’s a bit sickly, it disgusts me”, she told us frankly. In addition to her ultra-healthy lifestyle, Danièle Gilbert emphasized living the passage of time well. “Why would I be afraid of growing old? I’m not afraid of growing old. The question doesn’t arise: we’re all in the same boat, the years pass and they translate differently for everyone, that’s all! “ she summed up philosophically. By nature “optimistic”, she also told us to stay away from television and the news, to maintain her legendary enthusiasm, without letting herself be affected by information “still not very encouraging”.
A woman who knows “go forward” always
“Not nostalgic”, she also doesn’t have the habit of looking in her rearview mirror, preferring to look towards the future and the years she has left rather than towards her old shows and the old episodes of her career. Obviously, Danièle Gilbert gets her legendary optimism from her dad, as she explained to us in all sincerity. “We are moving forward in this family. Even if there are very difficult times [notamment la mort de son compagnon Patrick, en 2018, NDLR], we try to make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. We are alive, we must follow through on what it can offer us.” she assured, determined to take advantage of every minute she had to stay “joyful and loving”, as was his father, a former resistance fighter and deported to the Dachau concentration camp. A great example that still serves as a model for her, while she hopes to always be in good health in the future, as she told us a year ago, hoping that her family will be too.
