Sandrine Kiberlain confided in Society during an interview released on December 9. French actress and director is revenue on her union with Vincent Lindon more than 20 years after their divorce. It was on a movie set that the actors had met in 1993. The star married to the actor from 1998 to 2008, had a wedding that was surprising to say the least…
“On married me without my knowing it. The pretext was that he was taking me to celebrate my birthday, blindfolded, and I found myself at the town hall with people who were celebrating my birthday, blindfolded, and I found myself at the town hall with people who didn’t know what they were doing there. It was crazy, like a kidnapping“, she says.
A friend of the actress, director Laetitia Masson, “stood up saying: ‘On can’t do that to one femme’“, recalls the 54-year-old woman.
“Me, I was not in there at all. I didn’t necessarily understand the violence of the thing at the time, we say to ourselves that it’s chivalrous. I didn’t even think of saying no. There are people who never experience crazy things, well this one, testifies that my life has never been boring“, she specifies.
In 2012, Sandrine Kiberlain mentioned this moment during an interview with Marie Claire and whose words were relayed by Closer. “They forced my hand a bit! It was chivalrous, I can’t complain, but still, it was pretty violent. Marriage, I’m back. Today, I don’t even know if I could live with someone on a daily basis.“
A daughter was born from their union. A girl named Suzanne. The star told Psychologies magazine in early 2022 that she was still very close to her ex-husband and father of her daughter.
“Vincent is family. When we parted, I knew we wouldn’t get lost. But I didn’t know how to do it. We had just spent ten years together, we had a little girl, I was barely in my thirties, I was not on my tenth separation, so the grief… It was very hard. It took me a while to accept the idea of my daughter living with divorced parents, I who hadn’t known that. But we invent, and we build (…) On love each other for life, even if we love each other otherwise. We did this thing. Not without difficulty, but we did it. It’s precious, we know that. So we don’t mess.”
