While Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine agreed to pose with their sons at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, the eldest particularly captured the attention of photographers…
The Depardieu-Katerine family is definitely not like the others! While they were at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine took their two sons, Billy, 15, and Alfred, 14. And to say that the two teenagers got attention is an understatement!
Philippe Katerine and Julie Depardieu: their sons are a sensation!
Like their free spirits and their inventive careers, the family of Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine seems particularly creative, even zany. On the film photocall The Last Days of Charles Baudelaire, directed by Arielle Dombasle with Philippe Katerine, and presented during the 65th edition of the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, Billy, 15, did the show with his parents! The teenager didn’t hesitate to smile at the photographers, try out different poses, fix his hair and wave to the crowd. His little brother, Alfred, 14, seemed more reserved but nevertheless delighted to be at his parents’ side.
And if these images made many Internet users smile, others did not hesitate to criticize the eccentric attitude of the eldest in the face of the more shy behavior of the second. “The two sons of Julie Depardieu and Philippe Katerine seem deeply uncomfortable. One seems to take refuge in a form of extroversion, while the other seems completely absent, as if lost in his own world“, we read among the comments. “This is the French elite?! Everything is explained“, blurted another user contemptuously.
Philippe Katerine and Julie Depardieu: are their sons affected by the criticism?
But the little family does not seem to mind the usual taunts from Internet users. “They were raised with this idea of distancing themselves from what is said about the family. I think they are not affected by possible judgments, it is not a subject“, assured Philippe Katerine about his sons, in Gala, a year earlier.
When the singer was heavily criticized for his performance during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, where he was painted blue and naked, no one in the family took offense, not even the two teenagers. “Anyway, they themselves criticize me all the time. They have no particular respect for my artistic activity… Me neither, what I do can be debunked“, he said.
Communication also seems to be an important point within the family, which resides in a suburb of Yvelines. Mom “pretty cool“without being there”girlfriend” of her children, Julie Depardieu does not want to bully her sons: “Let’s say that I manage to recognize my mistakes, my educational weaknesses and, above all, to laugh about them!“, she explained to Marie France, before specifying that she could also count on her partner to ease any tensions: “You have to admit that their father is very funny !”
