In 2013, following the half-sister Kate Barry diesCharlotte Gainsbourg has chosen to leave France live in NYC. However, too the couple he forms with Yvan Attal remains unitedthe latter often find themselves separated: she in New York where their three childrenSt he continued his studies and often traveled to Paris where he developed his various artistic projects as an actor but also as a director.
A situation that sometimes weighs on Charlotte Gainsbourg. “In practice, it’s complicated! Because Yvan mainly works in France. Me, I can do it – as an actress, a movie generally lasts two months, and not in a row, and then music is feasible anywhere. I really like that I can enjoy Paris when I come back but after that I managed to escape. I was already isolated in Paris, it’s part of my nature, but I think I like being even more isolated. And strangely also not being in my house, being able to look at the people who live in their homes”. so entrusted Jane Birkin’s daughter to Marie-Claire.
Yvan Attal had also confided about this matter in June 2018 on the show Tea or coffee on France 2.”This year, with the theater, has been very special. I lived and still live alone for some time in the apartment which is less cheerful than when all my children are there” he later complained. Even at the time, the latter hoped that this situation would not last more than “two years”, the time that their daughter Alice spends the equivalent of her high school diploma. “Home is still Paris, don’t joke” he also confided in me… Hearing Charlotte Gainsbourg talk about her desire for isolation, it doesn’t mean she’s of the same opinion.
