Samuel Le Bihan couldn’t be a prouder father. Dad devoted to his three children, the actor takes care in particular of his daughter Angia, suffering from autism spectrum disorder. If he is impressed by the progress of his youngest, he is also committed to ensuring that children with disabilities receive more help and support. “I see many people in despair. It’s very, very hard. You don’t realize what it’s like to take care of a disabled child every day.” regretted Samuel Le Bihan with Buzz TV. This sometimes complicated daily life is largely compensated by the relationship he has developed with Angia, his “sun”. “She has progressed enormously. While she was not talking, she was not eating, she was self-harming… She is now in school, in sixth grade“, rejoiced this dad hen with our colleagues.
“She has friends, she laughs, she communicates. There are two worlds between her childhood and her preteen years.added Samuel Le Bihan. At the same time, I have a network and my daughter has developed strategies, skills to overcome her handicap and progress, it’s even a life lesson for me.” Samuel Le Bihan’s daughter was born from the actor’s relationship with model and stylist Daniela Beye in 2011. Since then, the former lovers have separated and Samuel Le Bihan has sole custody of his daughter. “The judge decided that I would be the one to have full custody. I didn’t decide anything, I didn’t ask for anything. I walked out of the judge’s office dazed because I was in a panic. I thought to myself: ‘But how am I going to do it? I’m not at all equipped for that.’ In addition, my job requires me to move constantly”, he remembered from Télé Loisirs.

“There, I decide to go on a trip. We leave and we go to Indonesia, to Bali, then to the Caribbean, to the United States, to Brazil… I’m going to travel again and it does him good! In all case, it brings us closer, it allows me to learn how it works, to know what to bring to it. I did the opposite, autistic children need a routine, a framework“, confided Samuel Le Bihan. In addition to Angia, Samuel Le Bihan is the father of two other children: Jules, born in 1995 from his relationship with actress Patricia Francino and Emma-Rosé, born in 2018 from his romance with DJ and model Angie Vu Ha. And the actor regrets the way he raised his eldest son. “My feeling today is that I was not a good father at that time. I was an awkward father. I didn’t necessarily have an easy childhood either. So, suddenly, you can’t don’t give what you didn’t get”, he explained.
