A Great Dad: Gilles Marini
At a recent Pampers event celebrating fatherhood, I had the opportunity to catch up with actor and father of two Gilles Marini–a hottie you might recall as Luc on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters and Dante on Sex and the City: The Movie. Turns out he’s a huge fan of Parents, and his dream is to be on our cover! I asked him a few questions about fatherhood:
You’re dad to Juliana, 4, and Georges, 10. What do you love best about this gig?
I think there are not yet any words created to describe it–what’s inside you, the feelings. I would never, ever, ever give up the passion that it is to be a dad.
What’s the most important thing your own dad taught you about fatherhood?
My father was a really hard-working man. So he taught me how to be a man. That was really his job. And by a very young age, I learned from him that working was a part of being a man. That’s why I was never scared of work. I think I worked from about age 7 on and never really stopped. I owe him so much. I will never be a third of the man he was, but I’m going to keep trying.
On Brothers & Sisters, your character spends a good bit of time with on-screen girlfriend Sarah’s children. Has this experience taught you anything?
Between seasons three and four, we had 11 kids in the cast and crew that were born. So I remember that I didn’t mind doing publicity for the show. I was hoping that there were great ratings coming through and that we’d have a fifth season. On my mind was that if we got a fifth season, that would mean that a lot of these people who just became fathers or mothers would still have jobs.
