This Saturday, January 15, in There is only one life in life on Europe 1, Arthur Jugnot made rare secrets about his son Célestin, the fruit of his beautiful love story with the singer Cécilia Cara.
Very early on, Arthur Jugnot followed in the footsteps of his famous dad Gérard Jugnot by also launching into comedy. And he knew over the years to make a name for himself, freeing himself from the label of “son of”. That’s good since, in the meantime, the 41-year-old actor himself became a dad. In 2013, he indeed welcomed a little boy named Célestin, born of his beautiful love story with the singer Cécilia Cara. The two lovebirds had met in 2006 and had pacsés in 2013, just before the arrival of their child. In July 2020, the star of the musical Romeo and Juliet unfortunately announced the separation of the couple.
Arthur Jugnot confides in his role as a father
Solo dad, Arthur Jugnot is nonetheless a very invested dad. This Saturday, January 15, in There is only one life in life on Europe 1, the son of Gérard Jugnot made touching secrets about Célestin, who will soon celebrate his 9th birthday. The actor notably mentioned her fear of not being able to explain to her son how to be happy. While Isabelle Morizet remarks: “It’s the only thing that can’t be explained”, he responds as follows: “No but it’s the only thing a child should be taught.” So Arthur Jugnot “try”, as he explains, even though his child is still young to understand: “Already, because he’s 9 years old, he doesn’t listen. If I sit him down and tell him: ‘Okay, I’m going to explain to you, in life…’, he’ll answer me: ‘ Great…Dragon Ball Z!’ So anyway, he won’t listen to me”.
However, Célestin is starting to go see his dad’s shows, so the actor hopes that the message will at least get through there: “In the works that we write, that we create, we tell things to the people we love and, I don’t think I would be able to explain to him (how to be happy, editor’s note), but I hope that through my work, he will grow up as happy as possible“.
A future actor like his father and grandfather?
Arthur Jugnot then spoke about the future of his son. Could Célestin, as he himself did, follow in his father’s footsteps in comedy? “Perhaps he is already completely clownish”, he reveals. Before immediately tempering: “Afterwards, I think that from my upbringing, with my father who said to me: ‘Oh la la, take your time and be sure to do this’, I want it to be a child first having fun like a child“. But he admits he could get his son to play “in lots of stuff, in movies” so he can find out if it’s a job he likes. “And then all of a sudden, if when he grows up and says to himself, ‘well, I want to do this, I want to tell stories’, and for the right reasons, well, great. say that I made him want to do a job, that I gave him a good example”, concludes Arthur Jugnot.
