the day he left his mistress on vacation to join Sylvie Vartan

A birthday with great fanfare. In two years, Jacques Séguéla will blow his 90th candle. To anticipate this great turning point, the advertiser and former editor-in-chief of France-Soir decided to take up his pen to publish his autobiography, 90 years of love, published by Plons. “There are readings that leave a deep impression because they open up unexpected perspectives for each of us… Here is a true tale. The tale of Jacques stages the characters who have marked his life, creating a new genre, a form of real-poetry which perfectly achieves its goal.”, wrote Jean-Louis Borloo in the foreword to this book. And it is true that Jacques Séguéla rubbed shoulders with the big names of this world and saw, before his eyes, unfold their biggest secretslike a moment that marked the life of the late Johnny Hallyday.

As transcribed Tele-Leisure, Jacques Séguéla, who confided between his lines to have “completely failed his married life”, was responsible for organizing on a beach in Port-Barcarès, in Languedoc-Roussillon, a party in the company of the late interpreter of “L’Envie”. “The idol had arrived the day before, with Michel Lancelot, the host of the show”, recalled the author. And to continue:In his luggage, he had slipped a dream creature, brown and sexual at will. We spent a grueling day satisfying the pop star’s every whim: water skiing, picnics, whisky, caviar and interviews. The muse for a day followed, lascivious and quivering.” But Johnny Hallyday, seized with remorse to decide to change his plans: “Suddenly, Johnny had a moral crisis. He wanted to see his legitimate wife, Sylvie Vartan, immediately. It was happening 500 km away. […] To settle all accounts, I had the right to dine on Sylvie’s left, after the show. I spent treasures of kindness. She did not speak to me.” Vibe…

Johnny Hallyday, a ladies’ man?

We lend to the jailer many conquests. Patricia Viterbo, Nanette Workman, Betsy Farley, Gisèle Galante, Karine Martin, Linda Hardy… Johnny Hallyday rubbed shoulders with many women officially, but also out of sight. “If Mick Jagger had 4,000 mistresses, Johnny Hallyday was not far from it”, indicated the biographer Gilles Lhote in the documentary Laeticia: her life without Johnnybroadcast on C8 in June 2018.
