On November 19, 2023, in “A Sunday in the Country”, Frédéric Lopez welcomed Véronic DiCaire, Jean-François Piège, and Francis Huster, the latter sharing for the first time the details of his tumultuous five-year relationship with Isabelle Adjani.
Since October 23, 2022, the show “Un Dimanche à la Campagne”, hosted by Frédéric Lopez, offers an intimate setting where three personalities are revealed each week. On November 19, 2023, the host, renowned for his shows “Rendez-vous en terre stranger” and “Panique dans l’oreilleette”, welcomed a range of distinguished guests: the actor Francis Huster, the chef Jean-François Piège, and singer and impersonator Véronic DiCaire. During this edition, Francis Huster, aged 75, opened up about a little-known chapter in his life : his romance with Isabelle Adjani, a relationship experienced with intensity at the start of their joint career at the Comédie-Française.
Francis Huster shared, with a certain reserve, the story of his love with Isabelle Adjani. They met at a pivotal moment in their careers, while sharing the stage at the prestigious Comédie-Française. Their relationship began in the 1970s, at a time when Huster was a prominent member of the Comédie-Française and Adjani, a promising 17-year-old actress.

A love story between theater and cinema
After a relationship with André Dussolier, Adjani lived a passionate romance with Huster for five years. However, their story ended abruptly when Adjani left the Comédie-Française to pursue cinema. Francis Huster confided that he had never forgiven Isabelle Adjani for having chosen her cinematographic career to the detriment of their shared art in the theater.
He particularly regrets the fact that they were not able to perform great classical roles together, thus losing the opportunity to inspire younger generations. Francis Huster sees in the choice of Isabelle Adjani a turning point which not only marked the end of their relationship, but also a lost moment for French theater. Despite this painful breakup, Huster later found love with Cristina Reali, with whom he shared more than fifteen years of his life.
