Marianne James never had children and yet she had long dreamed of starting a family. The 64-year-old artist spoke without filter on this intimate subject…
Marianne James believed for a long time that she would have children. But his life didn’t turn out that way. Does she regret it? The 64-year-old singer and actress confided, without filter, in the documentary Why don’t you have children?directed by Enora Malagré and journalist Chloé Garrel…
Marianne James: “I wanted a husband, three children…“
When she was younger, Marianne James imagined that she would one day experience motherhood. She already had an idea of what her future would look like. “I wanted a husband, three children, a dog, a cat, a really nice little house, a job that I liked. In my head it was like this“, she first explained to Enora Malagré. But this “cloud has dissipated” and the former juror of New Star ended up changing his mind on the subject: “I found other toys that excited me much more and that was the scene“.
The artist who notably embodied Miss Carpenter in a show to die for laughter first clicked in her early twenties, when she spent a few days in Valencia with her sister, mother of several children. At the time, she had to take care of her nieces and in particular go pick them up from school: “In the morning, we got up early, at 7 a.m., because the little ones at 8 a.m., one was still in daycare and the other was in kindergarten…“
But this way of life, to say the least, did not please Marianne James who considered these tasks to be real chores. “I hated that“, she decided. If she was “happy to be with family“, she was put off by the constraints linked to raising children: “It reminded me of school, high school, schedules…“
Marianne James, not about to take care of children: “I hated it!“
The singer, who was already doing street theater at that time, knew that being the head of a family would have an impact on her “freedom“, a notion to which she is very attached: “I want to, I do, I don’t want to, I don’t do. With a child, that’s not how it happens. I don’t want to, I do it anyway“.
Furthermore, she considers that a child is not necessarily a “fruit of love“.”I don’t see things like that anymore. It’s great to have a man in your life, even several, go for it ladies! But there are 7 billion of us, that’s a lot already“, she added, specifying that she remains her own.child“!”I haven’t had children, I don’t live with a man, but I like my life the way it is. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world“, she had already assured a few years ago in Closer.
