Julien Clerc has been in perfect love with his partner, Hélène Grémillon, for more than 20 years. And yet, despite their complicity, the lovebirds continue to talk to each other, as the 78-year-old singer explained on M Radio…
Julien Clerc may have shared his life with screenwriter Hélène Grémillon for more than 20 years, but he has still not crossed a barrier with her: that of familiarity. The 78-year-old singer still praises his partner, even after so many years of living together!
Julien Clerc still sees his wife: “Is it the age difference?”
The artist assures that this gesture comes quite naturally to him. “Is it the age difference? When we got to know each other, we addressed each other, we never managed to return to familiarity“, he explained on the microphone of M Radio to Christophe Beaugrand before specifying: “I still have a tendency to greet people.“.
And when the host pointed out to him that a priori, he “knew well“the person with whom he shared his life, Julien Clerc quoted the film to him The Great Illusionin which the character played by Pierre Fresnay declares: “I love my mother, I love my wife, that doesn’t stop the feelings“.
As for his partner, Hélène Grémillon, she revealed to Sunday Newspaper having already tried to speak informally to the singer of the tube My preference “once or twice, for fun“.”Between us, the story fell into place very slowly: ‘hello, sir’, ‘hello, miss’. Over time, we brought intimacy into our relationship, but always within the vows“, she also said. And added: “Today, calling Julien familiar would be like calling him Nicolas: it would no longer be us“.
Julien Clerc, frank about his age difference with Hélène
Although the couple, who are the parents of a 17-year-old boy named Léonard, have an age difference of 29 years, they do not consider it an obstacle to their happiness. “Our age difference is not something that must be hidden but on the contrary assumed“, assured Hélène Grémillon, a few months earlier to Paris Match,
It is also thanks to her that the artist decided to settle in London to find a quieter family life. “It’s obvious that, without Hélène (…) I wouldn’t live in London. She taught me to be light, to accept constantly moving towards the best. I know that before her I had a tendency to let myself be overcome by my dark ideas“, he confided.
