His appearance was highly anticipated and for good reason: it was the first time that the general public would discover the face of Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, the son of Brigitte Bardot. At the star’s funeral, he said a few words to one of the VIP guests.
The meeting was held on January 7, in Saint-Tropez, for the funeral of the late film star who became the most media-friendly defender of the animal cause: Brigitte Bardot. And, despite a conflicted relationship since his birth, his only son Nicolas-Jacques Charrier was present, as a family. He did not speak to the media but shared a few words with a guest.
What Brigitte Bardot’s son said at the funeral
This is in fact what the site reports Galawho landed an interview with singer Chico of the Gipsy Kings, a long-time friend of Brigitte Bardot. He was one of the few VIP guests at the ceremony organized at the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church and, with his musicians, we could see him singing, guitar in hand, to accompany the star’s funeral. A lovely moment which brought tears to Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, who did not speak publicly that day, too much.”impressed” by the event.
“At the end of the burial, his son, Nicolas, congratulated us: ‘Bravo, bravo for what you have done. It’s magnificent.‘”, he confided to Chico, according to the latter’s revelations. Even though he had a distant relationship with his mother – even to the point of having sued her in the 1990s after terrible comments made by the late star of the film Contempt – things had calmed down since then. Moreover, Nicolas, who came from Norway where he lives, was accompanied by his two daughters for the funeral: Théa and Anna.
“I think the music eased the pain of the loved ones. The priest also came to say well done and Bernard was really very moved.“, added Chico, referring to Brigitte Bardot’s last husband, the discreet Bernard d’Ormale, who we could see walking with Nicolas behind the hearse.
After the death of Brigitte Bardot: what about her fight?
If Nicolas-Jacques Charrier never participated in his mother’s fight for animals, leading his life far from the spotlight in Norway where he works as an economic engineer, he does not have to worry about what will become of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.
The late actress had made arrangements so that her inheritance would serve her fight. “The Brigitte Bardot Foundation is fully determined to pursue this mission, in France and internationally, in more than 70 countries, for domestic, farmed and wild animals. With its teams, its supporters and the support of public opinion, it will continue to fight the battles that mattered so much to its founder.“, the organization announced on the networks.
