her adorable photo with her daughter for her birthday

Omar Sy has 5 children from his marriage to Hélène Sy, including a daughter born the same day as him! The young Selly celebrated her 21st birthday on January 20, 2022. Her father made a touching statement to her on Instagram: “21 years that you make me grow, writes Omar Sy. I’m so proud of the woman you are. Even if you will remain this little girl in my arms and in my heart. I wish you to always remain free, just and whole.” The young woman has notably founded an Instagram account on social networks to allow profiles of people who are less heard to express themselves. She writes thus on this account, “A Seat At The Table”, that as a young mixed-race and Muslim woman growing up in the United States, she wants to contribute to educating people, by having them talk together to get to know each other better.

Omar Sy moved to the United States for his family

Omar Sy moved to Los Angeles after the success of Intouchables. The actor had given the reasons for this move: to preserve his family: “When I drove them to school, it marked me to see that I was no longer their father and that they were only the children ofOmar Sy, he explained to Vanity Fair. They were starting to lose their first names. I had just invaded their space, the school. It was a shock. It made me realize that we had to change our lives.”
