“Take the gun and put it to your head”: Benjamin Castaldi’s terrifying secrets about his suicidal thoughts

A very strong testimony. On the set of Do not touch My TVThursday, April 7, 2022, Benjamin Castaldi confided in himself as he rarely does. While the columnists were talking about the salary of people who work on television, the son of Jean-Pierre Castaldi returned to the period during which it was ruined. “When we’re on television every day, we don’t have the same life as everyone else, that’s undeniable“, he assured at first before going further. “But it’s not because you earn more money that you can’t be in extremely perilous, extremely complicated situations. The problem is the same for everyone. When you unscrew, whether you win 100 euros, 1,000 euros or 10,000 euros, the mechanics are the same, you get crushed like everyone else.”

Presenting loft story then Secret Story, the animator had the chance to live a beautiful life and incredible experiences. He recognizes it willingly. Only, overnight, he was no longer called upon to host television shows. His descent into hell was very complicated. “When you get to picking up the gun, loading it up and putting it to your head, saying, ‘What am I doing, am I going or am I not going?’“, he thus let go, revealing that he had thought of ending his life to forget all his money problems.

Benjamin Castaldi no longer had a credit card

Only, he thought of his children and wanted to fight. But he lived through very complicated months. “Suddenly, when you have nothing, when you have more credit card, the brothel, it is the same. When at the end of the month, you can no longer put oil in the boiler and it is fifteen degrees at home, when your children tell you ‘It’s cold daddy’, it’s the same for everyone.” Terrible confidences.
