Good news. If in recent months it is the state of health of Pierre Arditi which has made the news, the actor has spoken about another aspect of his life, more joyful. In an interview given to the show 50’Inside on TF1, Saturday March 23, 2024, he spoke of his status as a grandfather, a role in which he fully flourishes. “I am a step-grandfather. I am a false grandfather”he said with irony before announcing the happy news. “She is the granddaughter, Gabrielle, of my wife and Claude Lelouch. Me, I’m what they call a step-grandfather, but it’s delicious”. If in his professional life, Pierre Arditi is firm in his intentions, on the family side it is the daughter of Salomé Lelouch, born in 2014, who seems to be leading the actor. “I’m spoiled. Completely spoilt. She can dance on my head, ask me to go make her a boiled egg at 4 a.m., I’ll go do it, like my grandmother did. It’s a gift”he confided.
Pierre Arditi, 79 years old, is still very attached to his profession
A new role as grandfather for Pierre Arditi, 79, which allows him to share time with his wife, Évelyne Bouix, far from the stage. Despite several discomforts on stage, during the performance of the play Rabbit, alongside Muriel Robin, and a forced rest, the actor has in fact confirmed that he is not ready to hang up the phone. In an interview given to our colleagues at Galaon Wednesday December 13, 2023, he reaffirmed that the stage was what drove him: “There is no question of me stopping my job. Nobody forces me to work like this. Only desire drives me”. A love for the stage that his partner of 38 years, also an actress, understood well: “[Le théâtre]it’s its engine, its drug, its DNA […] He couldn’t do without the theater. It’s very tiring, it’s enormous stress but that’s how it is.”. Could little Gabrielle, aged 10, have succeeded in giving new meaning to the actor’s life? In any case, that’s what he seems to concede. However, Pierre Arditi did not always have a very optimistic vision of future generations, as he explained in the show As an asidebroadcast on Canal +, Tuesday March 14, 2023: “If you want, well, it’s not very nice what I’m going to say, I’m not saying it to everyone, but I think, for my part, thatWe are creating generations who will end up taking an advertising spot for a tragedy by Racine. And I can’t say that I’m excited about it.”.
