During an interview given to Paris Match in 2016, the actor spoke highly of his wife who, a few years ago, had joined the Paris Opera. “Hélène is an exceptional and whole being. She is completely sincere and does not tolerate anything hidden, at any level. As a result, it forces us to speak and clarify. She is at the same time my accomplice, my friend, my wife. he confided in the words of Gala.
“In my entire life, I’ve never had a story this long. I had to be 55 years old to understand that duration is the salt of love, which makesdeeper and more exciting story. I have the same butterflies in my stomach when I look at her as I did thirteen years ago.” A sincere love that shook the actor.
