Since this Wednesday, February 22, Romane Bohringer is showing the film Small directed by Julie Lerat-Gersant and in which she plays an educator in a center welcoming mothers in difficulty. The opportunity for our colleagues to Paris Match to ask the actress about her family life and more particularly about her children. At 49, the daughter of Richard Bohringer is the happy mother of Rose, born in 2008, and Raoul, born in 2011, both fruits of her past love with actor and screenwriter Philippe Rebbot. Separated for several years, the two former have chosen to live with their children under the same roof. A story that inspired the film fuzzy love released in 2018 and a series of the same name broadcast on Canal + in 2021.
“They didn’t realize the impact it could have had”
In fuzzy lovethe children of Romane Bohringer and Philippe Rebbot play themselves. “Everything was done in a gradual and very carefree way. When I think back on it, I realize that it was a bit crazy decisions that we made for them. They were small during the filming. We relieved of guilt by telling themselves that it was a love film, which could bring them something sweet and a nice memory later”explains the mother of Rose and Raoul. “For the series, they were bigger; we asked them their agreement and they answered ‘yes’. They loved it, they played the game enthusiastically, they know all the episodes by heart, it became a family object, it was not more artistic than that for them. And they didn’t realize the reach it could have had. Us, backwards when we look at the series, we realize that there is scenes that are a little destabilizing, even embarrassing, at a certain age. And there may be consequences.”

His 14-year-old daughter no longer wants to act in his films
One of these consequences concerns Rose, the eldest daughter of Romane Bohringer. “My daughter, who is 14 today, no longer wants to play in my feature films. I think that at 25 she will be happy to have done it and to see these images again… There, I have the feeling that she was bothered at school, that it exposed her too much. And it’s true that we saw his room, our house, their life… Afterwards, I understood it”says the actress, who made the decision to expose her offspring less. “You know, I’m quite naive, I always believe that people are good and, 80% of the time, I am thanked enough for this trust that I grant; very few negative things happen to me. Even on the networks social, I know that we talk a lot about the place of children and, there too, I was credulous, I posted family photos, moments of life… I slowed down because I saw that everything depends on how it is perceived and by whom, above all.”
