Mylene Farmer and George Clooney. It is a friendship little known to the general public, as improbable as it is surprising. In the magazine Gala, on newsstands this March 10, the icon of French song unravels the mystery. Exclusive confidences.
As rare as desired, as eccentric as essential for nearly 40 years, Mylène Farmer was self-evident for embody the number 1500 of Gala, a great reflection on celebrity, on newsstands this Thursday, March 10. The word “star” is not overused, as far as she is concerned. Even though she prefers “the gratitude” of his work, to the cult of his person.

Friendsloyal, respectful its ups and downsthe singer has more than one. Some more famous than others. This is particularly the case of Vincent Lindon, whom she met before marrying success. Some world famous. This is the case … of George Clooney, with whom she became friends in the middle of the 90s.
“It’s sexy the sky of California”sings Mylène in Californiaone of his standards inspired by his retirement in Los Angelesafter the failure of Giorginoher first film shot with her accomplice Laurent Boutonnat, in 1994. These months of exile enabled her, she says, to rediscover “anonymity”, “an almost too normal life”, between driving lessons and great baths of American music broadcast on the radio. In LA, however, the stars sometimes descend from the sky. And when they have the features of George Clooney, we imagine the heartbeat. “I met him at a dinner. We exchanged a few words. The evening was simple, pleasant. We had a good laugh”, says Mylène. Before qualifying: “Hollywood is kind of fun. But it’s another planet. American stars have as much power as responsibility. George Clooney is a committed actor, aware of his time.”
