“I really looked like my mother.” Adel Exarchopoulos tells about her relationship with her 7-year-old son Ismail.

He will appear soon Love foofBy Gilles Lelouch. Such love that Adele Exarchopoulos feels for her son Ismail, who was born in April 2017 from an affair with rapper Dooms. Since then, the actress has opened up about the joys the 7-year-old gives her on the Sept à Huit show on Sunday, October 6. The actress, in particular, explained that she can play with the latter for hours, even if it means “imitating an otter”. “Honestly, I do whatever he asks,” she joked. It’s true, there is a moment when you really become a slave to your imagination.”

My son’s last request. “Yesterday he asked me 500 times to pretend he was coming out of a huge battlefield and that I had to shoot arrows at him and he dodged them,” she laughed. And I admit that after 45 minutes I told him. “Don’t you want to read some manga here, quick?” Adele’s life (2013) also revealed the first question she asked her son when he came home from school. “Did you laugh with your friends yet today?”

“Sadness and Vertigo”

She, who gave birth to her first child at the age of 22, explained that she was ready to have a child then because she “wanted it so much.” “I was lucky that I was able to receive him under good conditions,” he said. Looking back, however, Adele Exarchopoulos confides that the arrival of the little boy turned her life upside down. “I’m 30 today, and I feel like you’re really not ready to suddenly be responsible for someone’s life, to be responsible for your own happiness and not be completely at the same time. I think there’s something scary about that.” And the actress continued. “Finally, like all mothers, I just want my son to be happy.”

The actress also said that “for a long time” she did not want Ismael to know her work. And this, because it “embarrassed” him. “I didn’t want it to make a difference between him and his friends,” she explained. Before adding: “For example, once I was asked for a photo on the street, and he wanted to take a photo. I told him. “No, no, no, not at all.” And so I had to explain to him that people, they don’t like me, it’s a character who has left their mark, and that my job is to tell stories, but to adults. But the stories we had that evening were ours forever.”

“The Best Gift”

A clip from the show where Adele Exarchopoulos recalls a particularly telling picture of her son. Ismail wrote that “he loves his mother more than anything in the world.” “I told him. “This is the best gift anyone has ever given me in my entire life,” and I framed it and put it in my room. A reaction that he compared to his mother’s reactions. “I’m really like my mom, I keep all the stuff from first grade, the little pictures, the horrible graffiti where you have to draw a deer and it actually looks like a caterpillar, but you’re still very proud.” he said. That’s it, I became this person, we’re not going to lie, I became a mother.” An exchange marked by tenderness.
