Nicolas-Jacques Charrier he is the son of Brigitte Bardot, fruit of the love with the French actor – and now ex-husband – Jacques Charrier. It was the distant 1959 when the fascinating diva of French and international cinema lost her head for her colleague, met on the set of the famous film Babette Goes to War directed by Christian-Jaque. Their meeting contributed to irreversibly changing the woman’s life: after falling madly in love, the couple decided to get married and the actress soon discovered she was expecting a child. An unwanted pregnancy, which she never failed to hide, often using harsh words about it.
Being the unwanted son of an icon of Brigitte Bardot’s caliber was not easy for Nicolas Charrier, a beloved but unwanted son, so much so that today the relationship between them is openly defined by them as “difficult as it is fascinating”. Here is everything we know about his private life and career.
Who is Nicolas Charrier?
Nicolas Charrier was born on January 11, 1960 under the sign of Capricorn following the passionate relationship between the French actress and her colleague Jacques Charrier. Despite her poorly concealed reticence to carry the pregnancy to term, given the times and therefore the impossibility of opting for abortion in France at the time, Brigitte Bardot found herself forced to go ahead. His arrival completely revolutionized the life of the diva, who saw the child as a threat to her image and her longed-for career. Throwing herself headlong into her work, in 1962 the young woman divorced her husband, thus giving up custody of her son. A controversial choice, hers, yet never denied as evidenced by the famous television interview given to The Parisian in 1982, in which she stated without hesitation: “I became a mother exactly when I shouldn’t have. I experienced it as a tragedy. It made two people unhappy: me and my son.”
Needless to say, the mother-son relationship was irremediably corroded by the cutting frankness of certain statements, so much so that in 1996 Nicolas Charrier even went so far as to sue his mother because of those contained in her autobiography. In the years that followed, there was a rapprochement between the two, but it is said that the bond continues to show signs of wear.
Nicolas Charrier: private life and career
Despite his difficult childhood, Nicolas Charrier has managed to secure a solid career over the years. Despite his great passion for music, he has made his way into the world of modeling, a branch that has given him countless satisfactions and that has allowed him to maintain distance and independence from his mother. He graduated in economics from the University of Paris and today lives in Norway with his wife, the former top model Anne-Line Bjerkan, mother of his beloved daughters, Thea and Anna, with whom he has two grandchildren.
It seems that the glue in the relationship with the mother were precisely the nieces, of whom Brigitte Bardot says she is very proud. Unlike his parents, Nicolas prefers a life away from the spotlight as much as possible and seems to care a lot about his private life, so much so that he does not appear on any social platform.
