The media spoke Lou:This Sunday, February 18, the singer told some jokes about her mother, who died on July 16, 2023, at the age of 76.
Lou Doillon uses social media as a scrapbook and as a personal diary. He often posts his own lyrics and archival photos of his family. Since last year, he has paid special tribute to his mother, Jane Birkin, who died of a stroke on July 16, 2023, aged 76.
She, who was the mother of Louis, but also Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kate Barry, was also the happy grandmother of 6 grandchildren. They include Roman (born 1987), Marlowe (2002), Ben (1997), Alice (2002), Joe (2011), and Laslo Lou Doillon Jr., born 2022. This Sunday, February 18, the singer spoke to the media Lou:in a video that shared the relationship the child had with Jane Birkin before her death.
“He’s everywhere and he knows it. He loved her very much and indeed, they live with us, the departed. We keep them. If we want to keep them, we keep them…” he assured. The singer recalled an anecdote about her childhood with Serge Gainsbourg’s ex-partner. “She had this weird idea that being a mother was quite sexy, so she’d take us everywhere, at work, in changing rooms… Even though it was a time when, when you were a desirable woman, the subconscious was: maybe you were available somehow. For the boys, the Beatles couldn’t say they were married either. But he was happy to come with bottles, things, to breastfeed,” she recalls.
“Thank you for all these adventures”
A few days after her mother’s death, Lou Doillon paid a precious tribute on her Instagram page. “Mommy, I’ve had Jane B and my Bonnie Lys across the ocean on repeat since Sunday, there are love letters from Jacque, surrounded by a red ribbon I found by your bed. Beside me is your word, “My Guardian Lou.” You are the one who puts everyone before you, and sometimes before us (…) Yesterday there was Charlotte and Roman, we, for the last time, by your side,” we could read. And finish. “Mom, thank you for all these adventures, thank you for not being normal, reasonable and obedient. All these very peaceful/reasonable people of tomorrow are already pissing me off…And there is your little Laszlo who is one year old today.” The post was accompanied by a black and white photo of their duo.
