Many celebrities pay homage to their parents. To succeed in their careers, some have been able to rely on a strong support system, on a loving and confident family. For example, Dwayne Johnson has never hidden his admiration for his mother, Ata Johnson, who sacrificed herself to help him build his career. Angelina Jolie has also emphasized the involvement of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, in her early days in cinema. More discreet when it comes to talking about their families, the French generally reveal less easily about their private circle. Some have done so, like Vincent Cassel or Marion Cotillard. More recently, actor and comedian Alex Lutz paid a heartfelt tribute to the woman of his life, his mother.
Alex Lutz about his mother: “She would argue with all the teachers”
Our colleagues at Paris Match indicate that this Tuesday, March 24, at 11pm, the Canal+ channel will broadcast a new program called “Ma tribu, ce qui nous lie” (My tribe, what binds us). Nathalie Lévy hosts the show, and the guest of the day is Alex Lutz, recently seen in Isabelle Carré’s “Les Rêveurs”. This program aims to have actors open up about their history, past, and private life. A successful start for this premiere. At 47 years old, the actor confided about the bond he has with the woman who gave him life. “My mother fought so hard for me. For my education. She took all my drawings and put them in folders. She would argue with all the teachers to say ‘yes, he’s worth it’.”
A father for 19 years, Alex Lutz, who recently lost his father, appreciates the involvement of his mother in his upbringing. The actor, known for his sketches of Catherine and Liliane on Canal+, understands how a parent’s love and encouragement drive children towards excellence.
Does Alex Lutz’s mother look like Catherine?
Two years ago, on Instagram, he had delivered a rare and discreet declaration of love to his son Ferdinand. A child he had with his partner Mathilde Vial. In a post accompanied by a photo of his birth, he wrote: “And then one day, today, he is taking his French baccalaureate. We look back. His revisions that were only in name.”
A parent inspires. In fact, Alex Lutz confessed to Nathalie Lévy that he was slightly influenced by his mother in creating the character of Catherine: “She laughs loudly. She yells loudly. She cries loudly. She expresses herself! She’s very funny! She’s very amusing!” She must be proud to have passed on some of her character traits to such a famous character.
