A family film which naturally led the host to question the actor about his own life as a father. And the least we can say is that Louis Garrel did not try to embellish reality. Father of two children – Oumy, adopted in 2009 with Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, and Azel, born in 2021 from his union with Laetitia Casta – he spoke with great self-deprecation about his relationship with authority. “My daughter has complete control over me! he said, laughing. She dominates me, she’s smarter than me.”
Now 17 years old, Oumy is quite active on social networks. On Quotidien, Louis Garrel returned to a TikTok video filmed with her a few months ago and which was very popular with his approximately 58,000 subscribers.
