(FILES) Former racing driver Paul Belmondo poses as he arrives on May 22, 2016 for the closing ceremony of the 69th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France. His father always thought he was made for comedy rather than Formula 1: at 63, after thirty years behind the wheel and in the paddocks of the major circuits, Paul Belmondo admits in an interview with AFP that "The Ace of Aces" was right. "Today, my desires are in the theatre!" confides Jean-Paul Belmondo's son. "Because of the danger, the job of a racing driver worried my father. And somehow, he surely wanted me to follow in his footsteps," adds Paul Belmondo. (Photo by LOIC VENANCE / AFP via Getty Images)
