Jean Reno had asthma because of where he lived as a child
Jean Reno was then very candid about his not very “paradisiacal” childhood in Morocco. “I was born in a rat hole. I was born in a totally unsanitary place, enclosed in a courtyard. There was simply a window and a door opening onto the courtyard where there were other dwellings of the same type. I left there with asthma which I managed to control around the age of 12, at puberty. It’s childhood asthma […] But if you want, the heavenly and departure side of my life, no,” he declared on RFM.
