As he returns to the cinema with the film “Quatre Zéros”, Didier Bourdon spoke in an interview and notably agreed to talk about his private life, he who is the father of three children.
The one who marked generations with The Unknowns answered Guillaume Pley’s questions in his interview Legendon YouTube. Didier Bourdon spoke candidly about the highlights of his life and more particularly about his role as dad, which he took on very early, at the age of 25. What relationship does he have with his children?
Didier Bourdon: an absent father?
“Have you been a different father?” did not hesitate to ask Guillaume Pley of the actor, now 65 years old. If Didier Bourdon does not think he gave a radically different education to his three children, he is still aware of having been more present for his two daughters than for his son Olivier, whom he had at the age of 25 years with a first partner. “At the time, I had my head in the handlebars, I had to earn my living, so I didn’t see my son as much as I would have liked,” admitted the one we also recently saw in the new series, The Daron.
At that time, Didier Bourdon was juggling the beginnings of his career and the demands of daily life, a mix that left him little time to devote to his son. However, this lack of presence did not create lasting distance. “But, since then, we’ve been catching up, that’s the advantage of being a young dad. Now, he’s 42 and we’ve been sharing very strong things for a while.”
Didier Bourdon: a protective dad?
Didier Bourdon is a happy father. Father of a grown son, the actor also had two daughters who have a big age difference with their half-brother: Clélia (15 years old) and Natacha (11 years old), with his current wife, Marie-Sandra Badini . “They become young women, and for a father as for a mother, it is a mixture of joy and emotion“, he previously confided to Purepeople. But the actor does not hide the fact that technology sometimes delights with nostalgia.
“On my iPhone, an application regularly shows me photos of my youngest at 4 years old. It’s touching, but also a brutal reminder that she is now almost as tall as me.“And looking towards the future, Didier Bourdon enjoys evoking with a touch of apprehension the first love stories of his daughters.”It’s great with my daughters, but when they come with their friends, I’ll probably like it a lot less…”
