As a guest on “A Sunday in the Country” on November 19, Francis Huster made moving revelations about a traumatic event from his childhood.
Through tears, Francis Huster remembered a trauma from his childhood. As a guest of Frédéric Lopez in “A Sunday in the Country”, the 75-year-old actor spoke on France 2 on Sunday November 19, not without emotion, about the sexual assaults he suffered in his childhood.
When he was ten years old, Francis Huster vacationed with his grandparents in La Varenne Saint-Hilaire (Val-de-Marne). “It’s the middle of the night and I hear someone who got into bed talking to me. He begins to rape me in complete darkness with a knife to my neck. » Moved to tears, the actor estimates that the attack lasted at least “25, 30 minutes” because he remembers “very long conversations.”

The attacker fled when he saw the actor’s grandmother’s “car headlights” coming. Francis Huster is wounded in the neck and admits that his grandparents didn’t believe him at first. But the discovery of a headgear that the attacker had left behind at the crime scene confirmed his statement.

The child was quickly taken to the police station to file a report. Today, the father remembers his grandfather giving him a reassuring look through the car mirror, a gesture of support that “gave him life” after such an ordeal.
Francis Huster had already mentioned this trauma before. Six years ago, in his books or on the set of “We Don’t Lie,” the 75-year-old actor lifted the veil about this attack, which had a profound impact on him.
