Guy Carlier: his rare confidences on his wife and children, who saw him destroy himself

He has come a long way … For many years, Guy Carlier suffered from bulimia. While he has lost more than 150 kilos, and now weighs 96 kilos, it is visibly better in his skin that he is about to return to the scene. Evoking the trigger for his transformation, it is in an interview given to Parisian that the chronicler explained: “It is love, the meeting with the woman of my life.
