“I am very cowardly”: Isabelle Mergault’s astonishing technique for separating from a man: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Saturday February 10, 2024, Isabelle Mergault spoke about her private life in front of the guests of Christophe Dechavanne and Léa Salamé on the set of What an era!. The 65-year-old actress revealed a well-established technique for being able to separate from a man in complete peace of mind. “I have never known how to leave a man. I cheat on him and unconsciously, each time, I leave traces to be discovered”, quoted Léa Salamé from an old confidence of Isabelle Mergault. An excerpt of a sentence which initially surprised the actress, but which the latter confirmed. “I am very cowardly”, she assured her host, causing laughter from the audience who came to watch the show. The sixty-year-old said that this way of proceeding suited her perfectly because she had “very afraid of being happy”. “I’m always afraid that it will end. I prefer to maintain something a little flat. My life is quite flat”added the actress, affirming that she needed “a somewhat lukewarm life to be able to explode into various things”.

“Someone not too pretty”

The sentimental life of Isabelle Mergault is not at all close to the love stories that make little girls dream of in fairy tales. By nature “very lonely”the actress revealed in September 2015 during her appearance on the show Hello Earthlings! hosted by Thierry Ardisson that the “ugly guys” did it ‘”wave”. The director also recounted an adventure she had with a fashion photographer who “had hit on bad models”. Following this relationship, her lover made a remark to her that marked her forever. “How good does it feel to make love with someone who isn’t too pretty… someone who’s normal”, he dared to say to one of the pillars of French comedy. But Isabelle Mergault is not the type to be intimidated by sexist remarks. At the age of 65, the actress ensured on the set of What an era! that at present, she preferred romantic relationships with men “younger” that she, but that the latter did not want. A confidence to which Raphaël Glucksmann’s companion responded: “This is Alexandre Kominek!”in reference to the sentimental connection between the comedian and Florence Foresti, who have a seven-year age difference.
