Vincent Lindon speaks with an open heart. This Sunday, February 25, the actor gave an interview to Audrey Crespo-Mara in Seven to Eight. Sandrine Kiberlain’s ex-husband spoke at length about his complicated childhood, following the divorce of his parents, when he was only five years old. A separation which is also at the origin of his many tics. From a very young age, the star of Titanium so suffered the mockery, as he confides during the show. When the journalist asked him what kind of student he was at school, the 64-year-old actor replied: “I don’t remember very well. I was very unhappy when I was little because I had a lot of tics, and at the time, we laughed a lot at school. “
Thierry Ardisson’s wife later points out that he was apparently a turbulent childVincent Lindon then spoke of his parents’ divorce: “I was the child of divorced parents in 1963. At school, I was the only one. So bitten nails, tics and divorced parents, it’s still tough at five years old.”

Vincent Lindon: what upsets him about his acting career
After his parents’ divorce and a complicated childhood, in the 80s, Vincent Lindon registers for the Florent course and discovers an environment that fascinates him, and which, what’s more, temporarily stops his tics. The actor played a series of roles and in 2016, he was awarded the César for best actor for his performance in the film The Law of the Market. However, very involved in his profession, the former companion of Claude Chirac with the reputation of being a “difficult” actor. On October 9, in the columns of Tele-Leisurethe star returned to this reputation that precedes it: “I am sad when directors, women and men, have the reflex to say to themselves: ‘I like Vincent, but it seems that he is not easy’. I want to answer them: ‘Look at the number of directors with whom I have worked more than four times. We don’t force their hand, so it can’t be bad to have me over in the morning to work together! It’s not me who’s faithful, it’s them who come to get me and that’s what upsets me.'”
