Since April 24, the actor Omar Sy has returned to France to promote his book Viens, on se parole. A work that he wanted as a “discussion” with Elsa Vigoureux and in which he confides on intimate subjects including his private life with his wife, Hélène.
In full promotion of his work Come on, let’s talk, published on April 24 by Albin Michel, Omar Sy revealed the reasons why he agreed to speak to journalist Elsa Vigoureux. “I didn’t want an autobiography, it didn’t seem relevant to me at my age and at this stage of my career.. » He explains to Nouvel Obs before continuing: “I accepted under friendly pressure from Elsa. As we exchanged in confidence, I imagined a book in the form of a dialogue“.
A very intimate work in which the actor opens up unvarnished, particularly on the “deviances» that he encountered in the environment in which he evolved as well as the life he leads with his wife, Hélène. If they met in 1998 at the ages of 19 and 21 for her, the two lovebirds fell in love very quickly. After a marriage in 2007, the couple welcomed five children, Selly in 2001, Sabah in 2003, Tidiane in 2006, Alhadji in 2009 and finally Amani-Nour in 2017.

Omar Sy’s confidences on the transgressions of the community
At the age of 46, the actor returned to personal subjects such as the perversion he had already found himself confronted with in the industry.

The one who recently revealed the reasons for his estrangement from his former sidekick Fred Testot then added: “I saw the damage of this kind of behavior when I was young. At 19, I was at Canal+. I know myself, I’m excessive. I assume that if I use cocaine, the risk for me is to overdose the following year“.

A subject that he also addresses regarding the advances of women in the industry: “As for women, in this profession, it’s done quickly too. I’ve never been too excited about the ones lurking too close. I know I’m coveted» he agrees before continuing: “There’s a knock on my door in a bathrobe, and I refuse. Because I know it’s a trap, I know what it’s worth, I know the price of the meal, I’ve seen it done. I think I know all the scenarios, I’ve seen it all“.
Omar Sy: his private life with his wife Hélène

Those who need to talk about it everywhere are certainly looking for what they have not found. It’s not my case. I’m fine, me. The life I have is precious, I’m not looking for another“.
