Benoît Poelvoorde, “maniac”: this habit that annoys his wife
The actor, who plays in Pascal Elbé’s latest film The lucky starassumes it and proclaims it loud and clear: it is very “vain“on a daily basis… and it’s his wife who pays the price!”When I succeed at something, everyone knows. If the little dish I cook is good (and I tackle difficult recipes), my wife will have enough to last the whole day“, he detailed.
This native of Namur, in Belgium, also affirms that he has several “mental loads” : “I do everything at home! Cooking, cleaning, shopping, gardening… As I am a maniac, I don’t know how to delegate anything“. And to add, not without boasting: “I am what they call a deconstructed man. I blew up the patriarchal foundations“.
Benoît Poelvoorde never had children: “I think I did well…”
Benoît Poelvoorde, who was in a relationship with Chiara Mastroianni for a few years, also assures that he feels “on permanent show“. Another habit that annoys his wife. “I love to bullshit. Sometimes my wife says to me: ‘And where is the spectator?’ I swear to you! It’s especially when I say to her: ‘But anyway, Coralie… aren’t you going to doubt me?’. And there, she tells me the thing that breaks me: ‘Where is the spectator, who should we applaud?‘”, he told David Barbet’s YouTube show, Censorship.
The Belgian never wanted to have children and he does not regret his choice. “I think I did well. I’m not someone well programmed to be a father. I’m quite anxious, I’m too scared that something will happen to the children: they mustn’t run, they must eat… But that doesn’t bother me: I have children everywhere. All my friends’ children are my children. I take good care of it“, confided to the Parisian the one who is also godfather of 5 children.
