Love stories like no other. In 2005, Mimie Mathy, the star actress of the series Joséphine, guardian angel broadcast on TF1, said “yes” to her companion Benoist Gérard. A wedding attended by her relatives as well as many celebrities, like rocker Johnny Hallyday who was present alongside his wife Laeticia Hallyday, or the host Benjamin Castaldi, married at the time to Flavie Flament.
Before falling on the rare pearl, Mimie Mathy experienced several romantic misadventures with “princes charming not always charming”. “I always took complicated situations. That is to say when you throw yourself into the arms of a notorious homosexual. I was convinced that I was going to change him”, she declared in 2017 on the set of Vivement dimanche by Michel Drucker. Another time, Mimie Mathy would have fallen in love with a man who was already married. “You meet a married man, it happened to me. You are convinced that he will leave his wife… I was always on top or next to it, but I was never in the right place. Until I meet my Benoist”.
It was on April 22, 2003 in Saint-Brieuc that the actress made THE encounter that would change everything. As she presents her one-woman show I chat with you, she brings a man up on stage. The latter is none other than her future husband. “I brought up a gentleman, and something happened,” she told Le Parisien in 2016. The star then said to himself: “That one, he must be either homosexual or priest“, she explained to Gala.
A fter seeing him again three weeks later, they never left each other. “We share two universes that seem poles apart, but unlike the couples of actors who separate as soon as one works less well than the other, I believe that this difference feeds our couple”, she explained to the Journal of Sunday.
