There are a lot of houseboats on the Seine, which are becoming a popular choice for living in France. Pierre Richard had previously owned one of these floating residences. Back in the 1980s, the actor turned the barge—moored in the center of Paris—into a comfortable three-room residence.
Pierre Richard, nevertheless, now lives in a more conventional environment. His wife, Brazilian model Seyla Lacerda, who is 180 cm tall, thought the tiny boat was a little too small, so she made the decision to relocate. The couple now lives in a two-story apartment with a rooftop garden full of trees.
Fascinatingly, Seyla is over thirty years younger than her well-known spouse. Although their partnership first baffled people, after 20 years together and with no plans to split, the public has come to accept it.
Pierre Richard is still making sporadic big-screen appearances and isn’t ready to retire. Umami, his most recent film, starring Gérard Depardieu and Richard, was released in 2021. The competition between French and Japanese chefs is examined in the movie.
In 2023, Richard costarred with Johnny Depp, Maïwenn Le Besco, Benjamin Lavernhe, and Noémie Lvovsky in the historical drama Jeanne du Barry. Richard plays Cardinal Richelieu, one of King Louis XV’s most well-known mistresses, in the film.
These days, 11 nations import wine from Pierre Richard’s vineyard, and French and Belgian restaurants serve his bottles. The actor may occasionally sign bottles that patrons have bought from his wine cellar at these eateries.
Pierre Richard has a great taste for excellent dining in addition to wine. He has operated a French restaurant with a Michelin star for many years. Together with French-Russian author Elena Joli, he co-wrote the book A Luxurious Dinner with Pierre Richard: Exclusive Recipes from Top Chefs in 2017.
