Many celebrities pay tribute to their parents. To succeed in their career, some have been able to rely on a solid support system, on a loving and confident family. Dwayne Johnson, for example, has never hidden his admiration for his mother, Ata Johnson, who sacrificed to help him build his career. The star Angelina Jolie has also highlighted the involvement of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, in her early days in cinema. More discreet when it comes to talking about their family, the French generally do not easily open up about their private circle. Some have still done so, like Vincent Cassel or Marion Cotillard. More recently, actor and comedian Alex Lutz paid a heartfelt tribute to the woman of his life, his mother.
Alex Lutz about his mother: “She used to argue with all the teachers”
According to Paris Match magazine, this Tuesday, March 24, at 11 pm, the Canal+ channel will broadcast a new program called “Ma tribu, ce qui nous lie” (My tribe, what connects us). Nathalie Lévy is the host. The guest of the day is Alex Lutz, recently seen in “Les Rêveurs” by Isabelle Carré. This program aims to have actors open up about their history, past, and private life. A successful start for this premiere. At 47 years old, the actor confided about the bonds he has with the one who gave him life. “My mother fought so hard for me. For my education. She kept all my drawings, which she put in folders. She used to argue with all the teachers to say ‘he’s worth it.'”
A father for 19 years, Alex Lutz, who recently lost his father, appreciates his mother’s involvement in his education. The actor, known for his sketches of Catherine and Liliane on Canal +, understands how a parent’s love and encouragement push children towards excellence.
Does Alex Lutz’s mother resemble Catherine?
Two years ago, on Instagram, he delivered a rare and discreet declaration of love to his son Ferdinand. A child he had with his partner Mathilde Vial. In a post accompanied by a photo of his birth, he wrote: “And then one day, today, he’s taking his French baccalaureate exam. We think back to the past. His revisions to oneself that were in name only.”
A parent inspires. In fact, Alex Lutz confessed to Nathalie Lévy that he was somewhat influenced by his mother in creating the character of Catherine: “She laughs loudly. She yells loudly. She cries loudly. She expresses herself! She is very funny! She is very amusing!” She must be proud to have passed on some of her characteristics to such a famous character.
