The opportunity to take an interest in the (discreet) private life of the 54-year-old singer. For ten years now, Philippe Katerine has shared his life with Julie Depardieu.

At that time, Julie Depardieu had just lost her brother, Guillaume. “I remember going to Dole, where the filming was taking place, without expecting anything. I didn’t have a strong desire to exist, I was there and not there at the same time. The loss of someone fucks you up, makes you question everything. I thought, ‘After this, I can’t allow myself to desire anymore. The very idea of ??really existing was disgusting to me,'” the actress recalled in the Gala columns.
