Jacques Chirac even had a few relationships that his wife was aware of. In the press for several years, rumors have multiplied about an affair with actress Claudia Cardinale. in an interview he gave Corriere della Sera, the actress told the former President about her reports. He took the opportunity to sweep rumors of an affair: “This is absolutely not true. I supported his election campaign because he seemed right to me at the time, and the press made it a big deal. Chirac was supposed to be ‘female man’ but not with mehe claims.
“The photos showing us ‘together’ were montages. They had removed the face of my friend Jacques Moisant and replaced it with Chirac’s. We realized this later, because Moisant had an eccentric taste for vests. Chirac was very embarrassed by this rumor. He wrote me a letter that I kept and had fun with. He also wrote that he was proud“, he added.
