Thierry Neuvic (Le Mystère Daval): 3 things to know about the famous actor

An actor familiar with thrillers and thrillers. A key face of French entertainment, Thierry Neuvic returns to your screens on Monday September 12 in Le Mystère Daval on TF1. In this TV movie freely inspired by the Alexia Daval affair, murdered by her husband Jonathann, the actor takes on the role of Captain Da Costa.

Accompanied by his team, the character will investigate for three months “as discreetly as possible, to collect evidence, then make confess the one they are convinced that he does not say everything”, specifies the press release from TF1. During the filming of the fiction, Thierry Neuvic rubbed shoulders with other stars of the small screen such as Michèle Bernier (Isabelle Fouillot), Liam Baty (Jonathann Daval) and Maud Baecker (Alexia Daval). “I found Thierry Neuvic and Vanessa Guide, with whom I had already shot, even if this time we did not have common scenes”, confided the latter in Télé 7 Jours.

On television and in the cinema, Thierry Neuvic has also acted in films abroad, such as with Clint Eastwood in Beyond in 2011, in France. In this feature film where the characters witness supernatural phenomena, the actor was touched by the subject, as he assured at the microphone of Europe 1. “I myself had curious experiences, bizarre contacts . I felt the exact hour of people dying. Why did I feel it, why did I feel a soul disappearing? I don’t know.”

And, to support his point with a specific example. “The man who raised me died before my eyes, I’m sure I saw him in the street in very specific places. I received signs, I accepted things”. However, Cécile de France’s partner in the film justifies her thinking. “I don’t know if there is something after death and again, as the film says, it’s not my problem. What interests me is the state of being alive. In the ‘beyond that, I want to bring back my basket full’.

Discreet about his private life, Thierry Neuvic has had several more or less media relations throughout his career. First, the hero of the Mafiosa series dated actress and playmate Hélène Fillières. A secret romance that would have started in 2006 according to Gala.

“It’s not hard to shoot with your partner. On the contrary, when you know each other intimately, it goes faster. We decode everything”, he would have confided to Public. But, after five years of romance, the couple put an end to their relationship. Despite their separation, his ex-girlfriend will later assure that it was “a pleasure to play with him” with TV Magazine, as in the film Les papas du dimanche, in 2012.

The following year, it was on the set of the comedy Les Francis that Thierry Neuvic fell in love with the singer Jenifer. “I met the man of my life there! (…) It’s not a simple meeting, it’s love, the real one, the only one! We were terribly embarrassed for the first scene of love…”, told the first winner of Star Academy for Current Woman. “And then, it’s crazy. We never left each other. Everything was so obvious”. From their union, the couple welcomes their son Joseph, born in 2014. The parents separate two years later.

Despite his separation with Jenifer, the actor Thierry Neuvic maintains good relations with the mother of his son. “He’s an excellent dad. A dad like there are few, really, I chose him well,” said the ex-coach of The Voice for Current Woman.

In 2015, the 50-year-old returned to his relationship with his only son in Télé Star. A new role of father that he has not apprehended in any way. “Not at the beginning frankly, there is a kind of unconsciousness like that, you become a dad, it’s great”, he admitted to our colleagues. “It is with time that we realize, that we take on the dimension of the thing, that it is not necessarily easy every day”. A paternity that transformed the life of Thierry Neuvic.
