During an interview, Mathias Moncorgé confided in the relationship he had with his father Jean Gabin, as well as in their joint projects hampered by the death of the emblematic actor.
Mathias Moncorgé gave an interview to Parisian on the occasion of the new exhibition on his father Jean Gabin, which is held in Boulogne-Billancourt (Ile-de-France). This interview was an opportunity for him to evoke the childhood memories he kept of his father.
In the columns of the daily newspaper, Mathias Moncorgé remembered his father’s clemencywho was presumably his best exit partner: “Dad would pick me up after school and always take me to the races. School wasn’t my thing. It was no problem for him. The authority was mom. Him, not at all”he explained about his father, who had given an incredible, very pejorative nickname to General de Gaulle.
Mathias Moncorgé: “We had plans together. He wanted us to buy a small stud farm”, about his father Jean Gabin
Now retired from a career as a horse breeder, Mathias Moncorgé has also returned to this vocation, which was instilled in him by his father: “I did the job daddy expected of me. I started working in the horse business at 14 and a half. He still had the school certificate, me nothing“he said, looking amused.
In The ParisianMathias Moncorgé, who aroused a heavy silence on Pascal Praud’s set, also remembered the closeness he had with his father, thus revealing all the ambitions they had together, before his death in 1976: “We were really, really close from when I was 13 to 20, when he died. I took a blow, we had projects together. He wanted us to buy a small stud farm”he recalled.
Father and son were very close and Mathias Moncorgé was particularly marked by the life lessons his father gave him. He particularly remembers a discussion he had with his father, when they attended one of the horse races they loved so much: “He had a deep respect for the workers. At the races, he would say to me: ‘You see Big father, (…), you always have to say hello to everyone, and everyone is important’. It scarred me for life.”he said about Jean Gabin, who had taken a radical decision not to shock his children.
