Born in 1935, this boy became a legend of French cinema. Despite the challenges of his childhood, marked by his parents’ separation and his stay in an orphanage, he found his way to success.
At that time, his parents divorced and placed him in an orphanage. Placed in a foster family, he had to come to terms with this new reality while his parents began new lives separately.
While his father and mother remarried and started new families, he tried to find his place in the world and joined the French army at just 17.
The actor’s parents unhesitatingly agreed to his military enlistment – a decision that deeply hurt him. “(…) as if they wanted to get rid of me once again. I resent them. You don’t send a 17-year-old boy to war… 17 years… I was only 17,” he said in an interview about his feelings about it.
Despite the challenges of his past, the boy never gave up. He had his whole life ahead of him and had to go on without his parents’ support.
This boy ended up in an orphanage at the age of 4, even though his parents were still alive – he became one of the most beautiful men.
Years later, after enduring many trials, life finally turned in his favor. This young man became one of the most famous actors in the world, admired for his beauty and talent.
