Paris, France – Veteran French comedian Chantal Ladesou sparked both laughter and surprise during a recent interview with Léa Salamé and Hugo Clément, revealing her father’s candid fear that a career in entertainment would lead her down a precarious path. Teh 70-year-old actress bluntly stated her father “was very afraid that I would become a p***,” a remark quickly amplified across social media.
The candid confession, made while discussing her father’s initial desire for her to continue the family construction business, highlights the societal anxieties surrounding the entertainment industry and the challenges Ladesou faced in pursuing her passion for performance. Despite her father’s reservations and a personal tragedy – the loss of her mother at age 16 – Ladesou persevered, ultimately becoming a beloved figure in French comedy and a consistent draw for theater audiences.
