Comedian Booder Opens Up About Son’s Health Struggles and Family Privacy

Booder revealed himself more to those who did not know him during the lockdown. It was through short video sequences in which he shared the sufferings he went through while trying to work with his son at home.

In the videos, he always took care to hide his son’s face, because he has always been discreet about his family life. "It’s my private garden. I don’t want to give details about my love life either. I’m quite modest actually. Off stage, I’m not Booder the comedian. Moreover, you’ll see me more in Aubervilliers than at Costes," reports closermag.fr.

As for his son’s health, the artist recounts that he is a child who has often been ill, especially in the first months of his life. "I focused on him, especially since he had repeated bronchitis. At the time, I saw my life flash before my eyes, convinced that he would, like me, spend his childhood with lung problems," he said.

In a previous interview with the site public.fr, Booder had stated that when he was born in August 1978 in Morocco, the doctor had told his family that he would not make it through the winter because he had too small lungs that prevented him from breathing properly. Defying the established diagnosis, the parents decided to have him hospitalized in Paris in order to give him a chance to recover. A sacrifice made by the parents that bore fruit. Booder is alive and makes his fans laugh.

The comedian confides that he is very close to his parents and that he lived with them until he was thirty years old. He felt comfortable, loved and safe and had a hard time leaving the family nest. But he had to leave to face life, his audience, alone, specifies the same source.
